Gwen Stefani says she’s Japanese in response to accusations
When questioned about the criticism of her infamous “Harajuku Girls” period, the 53-year-old singer, Gwen Stefani said her father frequently travelled to the nation for work with Yamaha and the tales he told affected and captivated her.
She told Allure magazine: “That was my Japanese influence and that was a culture that was so rich with tradition, yet so futuristic [with] so much attention to art and detail and discipline and it was fascinating to me.”
She later travelled to Harajuku as an adult, experiencing the culture for herself.
She added: “I said, ‘My God, I’m Japanese and I didn’t know it.’ I am, you know.”
She insisted there is an “innocence” to her love for Japanese culture, describing herself as a “super fan”.
She explained: “If [people are] going to criticize me for being a fan of something beautiful and sharing that, then I just think that doesn’t feel right.
“I think it was a beautiful time of creativity… a time of the ping-pong match between Harajuku culture and American culture.
“[It] should be okay to be inspired by other cultures because if we’re not allowed then that’s dividing people, right?”
