(lit. Mountain Witch) Fashion trend that arose in 1999 amongst teenage girls in the
Shibuya district of Tokyo, Japan. It is expressed by means of extreme tanning (i.e. going to tanning salons 3-4 times a week), bleached hair, and white,
silvery makeup. The
Yamamba make fruitless attempts at getting attention from common Japanese, whilst providing as elaborate displays for gaijin, or foreigners.
Wow. Those
Yamamba look
extra crispy from all that
tanning. I should probably avoid them though; they may be radioactive.
