the bosozoku subculture started way back in the 50s with returning japanese world war II veterans. it was a way for them to keep living the kamikaze lifestyle and deal with difficulty adjusting to the rapidly changing life in japan. main aspects of bosozoku were customizing/modifying bikes + reckless, dangerous driving that disturbed the public. early fashion was heavily inspired by its roots with war veterans mixed with the style of american greasers. over time, the style adapted as younger teens started joining and becoming more prominent than the original members.

i just wanted to rant about her base cosmetic, since it's very important to me!! and a lot of people seem to have the wrong idea about her design, saying she wouldn't have long nails because they're too impractical or that they prefer her with her natural hair. everything in her design has a purpose and a reason for being there!

i'm also currently reading a book that discusses the bosozoku subculture; how it started, the psychology and specifics of code within gangs, and first hand counts, so trust there will be a LOT more to come regarding my thoughts on that and how they relate to yui. i have a lot in my mind already, i just want to hold off until i get more information. thank you! :)
