 Stefani came up with the idea of the Harajuku Girls while writing the song . Stefani first saw the women of Harajuku , known for their unique style drawing from Gothic Lolita and cyberpunk fashion , in 1996 and had admired them since . She decided to mention them in the line " You Harajuku Girls , damn you got some wicked style " , and the concept grew into a running theme on Love . Angel . Music . Baby . , which went as far as to feature one song named after and dedicated to them .
