Erokawa

Shortened from erotic and the japanese 'kawaii' (cute), erokawa is an mostly japanese and almost entirely female subculture based around being both cute and sexy.

The major problem with erokawa, of course, is that japanese notions of cute often include a childlike apearance, which means that erokawas often resemble lolicon, child prostitutes or jailbait.

The style often makes use of camisoles, pink, short skirts, japanese school uniforms (or fetishized versions thereof), and 'kawaii' clothing.

Anime, particularly moe, bishoujo, and, unfortunatly, lolicon, makes use of the erokawa image freuently.

They listen to j-pop, but it isn't a music-based culture.
