For those into Ganguro culture and visited Ganguro Cafe in Shibuya, may be sad to know the cafe is closing on July 18th.
Created in 2015, Ganguro Cafe’s aim was to showcase the “awakening of the girl boom again” and led to the creation of the music unit Black Diamond =from 2000-.
As the group gained popularity, it was difficult to maintain the shop and entertainment activities with the lack of manpower, so they decided to focus on the entertainment side of the business.
大事なお知らせです。
