Modern Kuro Gyaru[]
Kuro Gyaru is one of the more popular styles of Gyaru today and is still worn by many gals, especially those in Japan. Black Diamond claim that part of their goal of 'world domination' they wish to turn all girls in the world into Kuro Gyaru particularly. The style, whilst popular, remains slightly inaccessible to some for its high level of upkeep and the cost of staying up to date with trends and tanning consistently.
