That was the stereotype in the west too, it only reversed when having a tan meant you were wealthy enough to have been on a summer holiday somewhere sunny!
Their cultural obsession with white skin has always been weird/cringe to me.

It’s because historically dark skin meant you worked in the fields and were extremely poor.
Light skin meant you did not perform any manual labour and was a sign of wealth.

They have those too. Gyaru and manba gyaru, to name a few.
I googled and apparently the ganguro style has died out which makes me feel old.
We had Japanese students over in 2008 and they said the Ganguro were already quite old :( we might be very out of sync
People want what they don’t have I guess
That’s Asia in general. Grass is greener thing, with the west being the opposite (obsessed with getting a tan).
