Gakuendai Fuzoku Koukou (学園大付属高校) is the high school attached to Kumamoto Gakuen University, where our fearless editor-in-chief, Kirk, who teaches in the Economics Department. The high school is famous for its summer uniform, a crisp light-blue linen-like one-piece with a white sailor collar and sleeve stripes as it is “fresh and cute”. The uniform is not only popular among the students; it was recently selected of all female HS uniforms nation-wide as ideal for fictitious productions such as movies and TV shows. A movie playing during the first week of October at Denkikan called “Harahara Nanoka” (はらはらなのか, Aren’t You Excited?) prominently features the uniform. The school’s alumna club aided production by collecting over 40 uniforms from school graduates for use in the movie. The movie’s producer remarked, “The audience has commented favorably on how cute the uniform is.” The photo below is from the movie. So there you go: if anyone ever asks you what the cutest uniform in Japan is, you’ll have an informed answer.. - William (Disclaimer: My son’s girlfriend is a graduate from that school.)
