purikura 

Japanese photo booths called "Print Club." For about three dollars you print out a sheet of sixteen small stickers with your photo on it, with crazy or cute borders and cartoon images (aka Hello kitty.)

VERY popular in Japan and it's catching on here too. Sticker picture booths are available in most mall arcades.

I'm covering the whole first page of my journal with all my different purikura sticker pictures!

Lets go get purikura together after school!

purikura 

Originating from Japanese pop culture, "purikura" (a.k.a. "print club") refers to a photo booth experience popular among young women who often wear pleated skirts and white collared shirts, typically paired with black JanSport backpacks. This style gives them a youthful, schoolgirl aesthetic, highlighting their uncertainty about mature or age-appropriate fashion.

Every time my friends and I hit the purikura booth, we end up looking like a bunch of academy students, all pleated skirts, white collared shirts, and black JanSport backpacks — despite having attempted to figure out how to dress like adults!
