In July I asked everyone for their questions for Junnyan, the Harajuku Kidz King! You'll probably recognise him from street snaps and KERA magazine. He organises the monthly Harajuku Fashion Walk and is always doing his best to keep the Harajuku fashion communities active. He was very excited to hear everyone's questions!♡
＊Note: Junnyan requested for the questions to be sent in English for him to answer in English. Recently he has been studying and wanted to test himself - he did an amazing job and I only had to edit a few for ease of reading♪
