Wearing Alternative Fashion to Japanese University in Tokyo… Help…

Please delete if not allowed.
For context, I’m F20 and I’m here in Tokyo until Feb 2027 for a university exchange at a university in Tokyo. Back in Australia, I’m used to wearing Jiraikei and other kind of alternative fashions to university, and although you get some weird looks and comments from students, I’ve been fine.
I am now for some reason terrified of the prospect of waltzing into my university and everyone having a bad image of me. But if it’s just the same as kinda Western countries attitudes towards alternative people where most people kinda don’t care it’s fine.

For context I’m going to a pretty standard uni in Tokyo, one of the bigger ones. I obviously have seen a fair amount of people wearing more alternative stuff (I mean, i hang out around those fashion areas obviously I know that the fashion comes from here for a reason) but i also know that obviously not **everyone** dresses like that or even approves of that kind of fashion.

For anyone who has attended a university before in Japan let me know ☹️ the semester starts next month.

I bought a switch and it arrived yesterday and I was super excited about getting it all set up so I could play splatoon raiders… ordered a cute case online… and then couldn’t sync my data from my old switch because the verification code to log in wouldn’t send. 😃
I have tried everything so please don’t ask if I checked spam/set a filter so everything Nintendo sends will always go through and everything else it just will not send LMAO. So I’ve had to email Nintendo customer support but god knows how long that’ll take to get back to me. It just sucks because I’m literally holding my switch lite which has my acc logged into it and I just can’t put the data on the other switch even though I’m literally already logged in on it 😭 modern technology my beloved

What are everyone’s experience with this and what did you end up doing to resolve it?

I know this is specific I swear I’m not a freak. 😭 recently I watched AKB48s drama from 2011 “Sakura Kara no Tegami” and I enjoyed it!! After watching it I want to watch more dramas set in all girls schools. Let the girls be messy! Any genre OK! I honestly don’t care how good the actual writing is I will be the judge!!!

So as I think anyone trying to find AKBingo is aware, the drive has been wiped for some reason and now we are all stranded in the AKBINGO-less lands 😞 I was trying to upload the episodes I could find to YouTube, but was copyrighted and couldn’t.

I’m just wondering, since it’s copyrighted, is there meant to be a legal way to view the episodes?? It seems like I literally can’t find them anywhere aside from rhe 70ish on YouTube and then scattered from then on here and there. In Japan, is there like a DVD collection or something theee episodes are coming from? 😭 I don’t know if this makes sense.

I have a confession to make.

Does anyone else go in the comments of like “what’s your type” and other “things you like in women” posts and try find themselves 😭 😭 I can’t confess this to my irl friends because it’s too embarrassing. Same with even video game posts, E.G atm I’m really into FOH Termina (Marinas my fave because she looks kinda like me LMAO) and so I saw a post asking who the most attractive girl was and just basically looked for every post saying she was from fellow queers 😭 😭

ITS LIKE VALIDATION, Like yes the lesbians still like frilly femmes I have a chance 🔥
