Pop culture tourists
A company called Pop Japan Travel is offering two interesting new tours in April next year. The first is called the Fujoshi Paradise Yaoi Tour, which targets fans of gay-themed yaoi, comic books created mostly by women but about gay men. The tourists will visit yaoi manga stores, yaoi-themed cafes, and meet Makoto Tateno, a prominent yaoi artist. The second tour is called the Tokyo Darkside Goth-Loli Tour, and focuses on the Goth fashion trend. Visitors will travel to Harajuku and eat at the Goth-themed Christon Cafe. The tours sell for US$2,198, including accommodation and transport to/from Los Angeles. (Source: TT commentary from nytimes.com, Oct 14, 2007)
