Gwen Stefani's backing dancers

I personally don't believe for one bit they're authentic 'Harajuku Girls', but has anyone have more info on them?

[Morrisonker]

how do you mean 'authentic'?  Harajuku is a shopping district so I suppose any girl who shops there often is a harajuku girl ^_^

[dave_c]

I believe they're all american born...

[Morrisonker]

ah, maybe.  I don't suppose she has them imported for shows.  Maybe she goes to Harajuku with them and buys them clothes?

Or they could just be japanese dancers.  Seems more likely.

they are from japan..they are dancers and harajuku is there gang-like name.theres are a lot of gang-like groups..she found them standing outside a shopping district so thats why they call themselves harajuku..i cant remember all their names but they are the title of her new cd thats coming out

authentic harajuku girls? one of them is from okinawa, one of them is from tokyo and the other two are from LA. they are professional dancers. the one that we call "music" has worked with many artists, including missy elliott, mary j blige, will smith and was on tour with britney spears in 2004. They all speak perfect english and are very down to earth nice girls.
