“That was my Japanese influence and that was a culture that was so rich with tradition, yet so futuristic [with] so much attention to art and detail and discipline and it was fascinating to me,” she said in the interview.
Stefani narrated that she eventually got to travel again to Japan and see Harajuku–a district in Shibuya, Tokyo–as an adult.Stefani also explained that she sees an “innocence” in her relationship with Japanese culture and refers to herself as a “super fan.” “If [people are] going to criticize me for being a fan of something beautiful and sharing that, then I just think that doesn’t feel right,” she stated.
Stefani considers her Harajuku era a “beautiful time of creativity” and a “pingpong match” between the Harajuku and American cultures. “[It] should be okay to be inspired by other cultures because if we’re not allowed then that’s dividing people, right?” she added.Stefani asserted twice during the interview that she was Japanese, noting that she was “a little bit of an Orange County girl, a little bit of a Japanese girl, a little bit of an English girl.” She also identifies with Hispanic and Latino cultures because of her upbringing in Anaheim, California.
