Sticker Me Beautiful: Purikura

Studio 360 | Aug 26, 2013

Kurt Andersen lands in Tokyo's Shibuya — glitzy and bustling, it makes Times Square look quaint, and it’s the epicenter of teen culture. Kurt meets up with blogger Lisa Katayama, who takes Kurt to a girl haven: the sticker picture booth. Striking poses against glittery pink and purple backdrops just might be Japan's secret to happiness.
