There's a subculture in Japan called "gyaru" where chicks get tans & dye their hair blonde, wear tons of accessories, rhinestones, fake eyelashes, make-up, that is sort of both a parody of & homage to western beauty standards (they will sometimes even use white eye-liner to make their eyes appear larger). Also, there is a decently sized hip-hop movement there, which incorporates a greater appreciation for African American fashion/music culture overall, the result being you'll see Japanese people with braided hair & the like.

I've seen a lot of Americans get mad at it whenever a reel of either demographic shows up on Instagram, for example.
