Now that I'm in Japan, everywhere I see boys with spiky 'dos and kids of both genders with these bleached dye-jobs. Even the old ladies on the train sometimes have not merely blue hair but deep lavender hair topping off a rather sedate ensemble.
I can't decide if I think these dye-jobs are attractive or not. The punk in me is intrigued with the will to decorate oneself unnaturally. However, the bourgeois Martha Stewart in me thinks that the brassy yellow tones clash badly with the skin. So far, I really like the looks of wizened obasans with purple hair more than the looks of young Turks with orangey hair.

Is that James Iha?
Check this article -- nearly parallel with my own hair misadventures in my youth.
Classic - When it gets more stylized and outrageous such as in the visual rock scene in Japan. Purple spikes 6 inches long, 360 degrees. etc.

Like, omigawd, that look is sa 90s!
I like this sort of thing. Generally bleached hair on Asians is rather mundane, but it can still impress.
