Why Japanese High school girls take プリクラPurikura Pictures #1 スマホのインカメラで自分自身を撮影することを「自撮り」と言いますが、人に撮影してもらうことを女子高生たちは何と呼ぶかご存じですか? 答えは「他撮り」です。  「自撮りは顔に自信がある子って思われちゃう。他撮りなら反感買わない」「あと、自撮りだと盛れる角度で撮ってるから、他撮りだとイマイチな子っているよね」「いるいるー! あと現実カメラはやめてほしいよね」 The high school girls were discussing, taking a photograph by themselves with smartphone's built-in camera is called 「自撮り」"selfie" but photographs taken by someone else is called「他撮り」"Other taken". To avoid the antagonism, they say 「他撮り」"Other taken" pictures are better because when you take 「自撮り」"selfies" you know the angle that can make you look good (you can盛れる), so other girls would think girls who do 「自撮り」"selfies" are confident about their looks". But actually there are some girls that do 自撮り」"selfies" that are not good-looking when they are taken by someone else"「他撮り」 Then, the other girls agreed and said “There are. There are.いるいるー!" Then the girls agreed they don’t want to be taken pictures by 「現実カメラ」real cameras.  「現実カメラ」とは、スマホ標準のカメラアプリのこと。盛れないカメラアプリで撮影されるのは「地獄」だそうです。女子高生の肌にシミやしわなどないのですが、「ほくろが気に入らない」「輪郭が丸い」などの不満があり、そのままSNSにアップするのは耐えられないようです。 「現実カメラ」 "The real cameras" are smartphone's cameras. The girls said having a photograph taken by a real camera that cannot be touched up is like "hell" to them. High school girls’ do not have spots or wrinkles on their skin, but they have parts of their faces they don’t like such as the shape, they think their faces are too round, or they have moles they dislike on their faces, and they can’t stand to post it on their social media accounts without touch ups.
