Carrying Expensive handbags like an A-lister isn’t the only thing hot in Japan, but lookin’ like an old-school Hollywood Greaser is the main attraction in Tokyo’s Yoyogi Park. With their greased up hair, leather jackets, and extremely tights jeans, their 50’s looks are so well put together, you’ll definitely forget you’re in 2009!

Speaking of over the top fashion, Gwen Stefani has her own interpretation of funky Harajuku wear! Her brand Harajuku Lovers features tons of animated figurines dressed in Japanese streetwear. How Super-Kawaii is that – yes just like Gwen says, that’s Super-Cute in Japanese!

From streetwear to street-Rap, Zeebra might just be the next lil wayne! Zeebra (with two E’s)…is one of the biggest animals, oops I mean rappers in Japan! But…he’s already asking for some trouble. After MTV Japan’s Video Music Awards in May, he posted an angry YouTube video criticizing MTV for not appreciating musicians. (but MTV’s all about music isn’t it?). Lately he’s been spotted out and about in Los Angeles, making an appearance on Fridays at Opera Nightclub’s Asian Night. It might just be a good idea to stay in L.A. for a while, buddy.

YES, Rappers are hot, but DJs are the ones who make their music sound even better! Steve Aoki has established himself as one of the top DJs in Los Angeles, but watch out ‘cause he’s getting some competition! Two of Tokyo’s hottest DJs, Benkay and Kay-G, are breaking into the Hollywood nightlife scene — and they seem to be quite successful! They have been spotted at some of the hottest nightclub venues in Hollywood, along with the very popular DJ Virman from America’s Best Dance Crew! Steve Aoki might just have to start spinning more, Sorry, being Benihana’s heir just doesn’t cut it anymore.

Music is definitely not complete without some Britney in the mix! If you’ve picked up a copy of her new album Circus you might have noticed something was missing, her bonus track Amnesia which is only available on the Japanese version of the album, is unfortunately not on the U.S. Album. Why? I heard Britney’s giving individual bonus tracks to different countries. She’s trying pretty hard to gain her fans back! She sure won me with Amnesia, its for sure one of my favorites!

Whether you’re famous for shaving your head, or making a scandalous sex tape, you’ve gotta make it somehow! The Gorgeous Leah Dizon did it without doing any crazy stunts! Being of Chinese, Filipino and French descent, this beauty was born in America, and after trying modeling in L.A., she caught the eye of talent agencies in Japan. She quickly became a huge Japanese-pop idol — without knowing a word of Japanese!

Guess you don’t have to know any Japanese to be famous in Japan!
