How has COVID-19 affected kawaii culture so far?
A lot has happen during this time, one of the topics that most concern me is Japan's kawaii culture. I say this because the best way to express your love for this culture is roaming around Japan and showing everyone your style. People would go to cafes, bars, stores, and even restaurants to display their contribute to kawaii culture, but this privilege has been temporary taken away due to the current pandemic going on. Everyone is currently under quarantine and is not allowed to go out unless its essential. For example, going to the grocery store, hospital, etc. Sadly, no one is walking around Japan, showing off their kawaii outfits. To be specific, here are some things that will be canceled due to COVID- 19, The 16th cosplay festival Nippombashi Street Festa that was to take place on March 15 in Den Den Town, and AnimeJapan (formerly Tokyo Anime Fair). These events would have been great opportunities to express peoples love and appreciation to kawaii culture. So to conclude, this pandemic has so far took away some very important events away from kawaii culture. As sad as this may be, staying home and practicing good hygiene is the best option for everyone.
