What exactly is the Japanese obsession with school girls and why are they so popular overseas? If you’ve ever wondered why it is that Japanese school girls seem to appear everywhere, from the obvious high school anime to video games like Street Fighter and Western mainstream movies like Kill Bill, then this great new book from Kotaku editor Brian Ashcraft and Shoko Ueda might just be able to help you. Now available in a full color revised edition, Japanese Schoolgirl Confidential: How Teenage Girls Made a Nation Cool talks to current and former pop idols, actresses, models, writers, and film directors to find out just why this worldwide phenomenon continues to prove so popular. Just some of the questions answered here include: the origins of the iconic sailor-suit uniform and its place in global pop culture; how the Japanese school girl became a multimedia brand and marketing tool; how it also became a symbol of female empowerment; and lastly just how it is so very cool!
