A girl band performance occurred at Sunshine City in Ikebukero last weekend and I was able to observe parts of the performance from the third floor. What struck me as pretty disturbing was the fact that the majority of the fans of the particular girl band I watched (and girl bands in general) are Japanese men in their late twenties to forties. Gross... To see this first hand, please check out the video of the crowd in the performance I saw. The guy in white in the middle of the crowd mirror-image dancing to the girls on stage absolutely cracked me up. He is really getting down to the music and the girls. I wonder if the girls can keep a straight face if they see the dancing guy in white.

Girl band performing at Sunshine City, Ikebukero, Tokyo
Japan loves its girl bands. Girl bands generally comprise of anywhere from 10 to 50 girls from the age of 14-23 that dance and lip-synch the songs they have recorded. Some popular Japanese girl bands are AKB48 and SKB48.
