˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ Tenshi Kawai - Japan's most recent subculture

Hello!! it's me Felix! Did you know I love J-fashion? If you know me it's kind of expected but if you don't; I wear Lolita fashion or egl, so it makes sense that I like other fashions inside this community. When I first saw Tenshi Kawai it literally BLEW my mind, it was everything I loved!! Even tho I really like how Victorian people dressed (since my loving for Lolita) I also REAALLYYY like Y3K, Cybercore aesthetics (I know it's contradictory but, i'm built like dat xDu) I also love oversized clothes, tracksuits, THE COLOUR BLUE!!! If you have absolutely NEVER heard of Tenshi Kawai or Mizuiru Kaiwai let me teach you how it emerged, the creator, it's raise in popularity and how to become part of the tenshi kawai subculture! 

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷It's starts・❥・

Tenshi Kaiwai (not to be confused with the word kawaii) was first ''created'' or at least named by @nu_ta_dayo back in 2020. She really liked Jirai kei, however, she noticed that the outfits with light blue (which is a very rare colour for jirai kei since it's mainly focused on pink, black, red sometimes grey) weren't really out there, so she collabed with the brand ililil (pronounced iruiruiru) which the name tenshi (angel) was born. kaiwai (neighbour) was added after because in japan, jirai kei has a really bad reputation since it's meaning is landmine girl, referring to girls who have serve mental health problems and are ''hard to handle'', therefore Nuta wanted this new fashion to make it a neighbourhood for angels.

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷Is Mizuiro kei and Tenshi Kaiwai the same?・❥・

Nuta said that even though they are different terms, in looks they are very similar.

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷How to build a Tenshi Kaiwai outift!・❥・
