TSUBASA MASUWAKA
aka
Gyaru Queen
Tsubasa Masuwaka is the well reknown Queen of Gyaru. Her face can easily be considered one of the most recognizable when it comes to the commercialized image of gyaru as it entered into the mainstream culture in Japan.
Gracing the covers of numerous magazines she was a heavy influence to many girls both in japan and globally to pursue the world of gyaru.
Her appearence changed frequently during her career, but her most well reknown image is her dollywink and popteen look.
Tsubasa Masuwaka has an almond eye shape and a round face shape similar to selena gomez face type.
Tsubasas cheekbones sit quite high on her face and can be seen more prominently earlier in her career pre-surgery
She is a tiny queen her height is 4'11 Her weight is 82Ibs
Tsubasa birthday is October 13, 1985
Her hair is blonde but has also been
black, brown, red, blonde,
Her most signature and well known hairstyle is beach waves with a hime cute.
During her reigning era many wigs copied her haircut.
But as of 2018-present she has maintained a short low maintenance bob
Tsubasa makeup of her gyaru era was
Nude eyeshadow
Little to no nose contour
Circle Lenses
Mild highlight on the nose, inner eyes, chin and forehead
Heavy Blush on Apple of her cheeks
Top and bottom Eyelashes
Nude gloss/Lipstick
We rarely see her eyebrows but often when we do they are straight
Earlier in Tsubasa career she maintained tan skin.
Tsubasa Masuwaka has had her eyes cut, double eyelid surgery, a rhinoplasty, lip filler, forehead filler, jaw reduction surgery (V-line surgery), Cheek bone surgery.
She has admitted to having had plastic surgery but the list I created is a speculation on what I think she precisely had.
I also presume she has had skin bleaching or lightening done since she has skin much lighter then average. Even though earlier in her career she did tan, when transitioning out of gyaru she had white skin but lately it is almost transparent white which I personally don't consider could have happened naturally even if she had quit tanning.
I thought about her for a bit. I think her blog is gone but I found her using the wayback maching.
It had me thinking about other Gyaru and J-Fashion bloggers like universal doll and a few others.
I miss the community back then. As I often say I am 100% a baby gyaru as last year was really the first time I started more aggressively attempting the fashion. But I have loved gyaru since I think 2010 and it was such an interesting and cool thing I had discovered. I would often read blogs in the community and admire the styles and looks of all the girls in the fashion. I truly stopped paying attention to gyaru in 2016 and then just recently became interested in it again.
As I looked up a few older gyarus I came across lol cow and it quickly reminded me of how gyaru died. A lot of stuff back then became really toxic and elitist. It might be that way now, Buuuuttt I am not apart of any communities and I genuinely wouldnt care as much now about bully behavior etc.
But yea the gyarus back then were sooooo coooll I miss when everyone had a blog along with there own little html button linking to their blogs.
I absolutely cannot wait to get my tablet back and begin drawing again so I can draw my own button and work on some art for my blog.
I think this is something I wanted for a long time. So I hope to be loyal to my blog and being a gyaru.
Anyways heres some pics some of my favorite gyarus back then
Dont get me wrong my heart belongs to the Old School Gal Fashion right now. But I am playing with the idea of these looks. I have never gone into an extremely girly style as liz lisa or himegyaru before. I think if I did dress like that I would get a lot of compliments.
But write now I want to look like a Old School Gyaru and Tsuyome. But I may I might get some lizlisa peices. And I think when I get older Ill go for an Emoda Style and Onee Gyaru look.
Also, I think i may except not doing Amerikaji since. I actually already did it, and that was my style before I went publicly Gal or started taking Gal seriously.
First of all please appreciate my pictures. I captioned my pics in 中文 to ya know keep practicing my mandarin.

Lately I have been craving to cut my ends of my hair. So I did I cut off about 2 inches, I am not super happy lately. I am deciding to not go back to college and just cruise through life for awhile. I want to learn to enjoy life more and more and do my best to be happy.
I often get into mood swings. And become extremely sad sometimes. But I really want to focus on not doing that and do my best to be happy.
I was going to get a second job to afford more things, pay bills better and get new clothing. But to be honest I'd rather live life working as little as possible. And making just enough to pay my bills. If anything I might learn to sew and make gyaru clothing. But I don't want to spend excessively.
I will live fine with my cheap ass makeup and thrifted clothing.
I really love the earlier 90 to 2000s gal looks Ganguro. I guess it could be because of Super Gals!
It's funny but the first type of gyaru I had ever seen was in 2013, at the time the liz-lisa, Amekaji and Onee Gal looks. So I never really truly came across Ganguro in its glory. Now I really adore it so much.
Its definitely the colors and platform shoes. Its such a wild and fun look.
This is definitely a fun inspiration and my current boom. Maybe my main boom lol.
The looks are more toned down, using light eyeshadows and nose stripes. Pale lipstick.
Its obvious with the fashion Namie Amuro's platform boots and miniskirts were a huge inspiration for the girls at the time.
In 2023 I want to be more myself. Create stronger relationships with friends. Figure out a great way to incorporate Gyaru daily in my life. Ultimately figure myself out.
For the New Year
For New Years Eve my mom picked me up from work and we got drinks from a bar. And then I went to her house and my family and us watched the ball drop etc Popped champagne 🥂 lol
To be honest I drank so mucccchhhh this New Years Eve. Lol gosh I went to bed and it hit me all at once. I accidentally drunk texted my friend absolute gibberish. My spell check plus I'm not sure what I was even trying to say created just a hilarious nonsensical paragraph.
Me: Hime actually you know good standing in the world it could've been better lately but I appreciate you I hope you good. Since life is hard sometime you know in the river. I'll tell u later. I'm thinking I drunk now
Him: LOL what? Are you OK?
Me: I am at my moms so drwnk Happy new Year!
Him: OK. Thanks! Happy new Years! 🎉
So yea happy new years guys. I want to also become a more disciplined person and better at my chinese studies. Also be more Gyaru styled of course!!!
Dont blame me gosh, I grew up loving the color blue. But I never hate pink I was indifferent but definitely blame it on the BRATZ TV show I use to watch it alot as a kid. And the main bratz characters they didnt like pink because the color was associated with the villain Barbie I mean Queen Burdine and the Tweevil characters.
But after the show I absolutely did not like pink. And that was as a teen. Now as a young adult I genuinely do kinda find pink cute, alluring, definitely a very gyaru color. But Not My style Not my color. I truly prefer blue, aqua, purples and browns.
Sadly everyone else loves pink in gyaru as i said its a very very gal color.
Like sometimes I have noticed in Gyaru, pink always finds a way to be incorporated whether it's the clothing or hair or makeup.
I have considered making myself like pink or at least learning to like the black pink mix of colors, like incorporating pink, but only if black is mixed in.
(BLACKPINK N YO AREA!!! BIIIIATTTTTCCCHHHH)
But I realized one of the most important things about gyaru is being yourself. So I am not intending on doing things that dont represent me and pink doesnt represent me.
Anyways I do love most other colors and I love love love love animal print. So I think itll be fine and I can still be Gyaru even if I never really wear pink or style my room pink.
One thing I ADORE about gyaru rooms is how realistically messy and nestlike alot of them are in magazine. As a gal who doesn't really enjoy heavily organizing my room I really like their rooms. I want to incorporate many elements into my room and create a super Gyaru style room.
the animal print is GIVING ME EVERYTHING
I like this alot but I would like it more if that pink was Aqua
or Blue
cheetah printtttttttt 🌺🌺❤❤❤❤
OK Now things I want to get for my future room
cheetah print hello kitty pillow
cheetah print throw blanket
posters from my fave animes and groups
Fluffy blue Rug
And also lotsof rilakkuma everything
Yea and thats all I can think of.
Btw I dont like pink on me or my stuff being pink but I do definitely think it is cute and aesthetic with other peoples things. Like many Gaijin Gyarus make me want to like pink because it is so cute and dolly with them. But Its just not my own personal vibe.
