    Gwen Stefani is once again defending herself over the Harajuku Girls era of her solo career. Stefani has long been accused of cultural appropriation for appearing both onstage and off with the Harajuku Girls, a dance troupe of women who were all of Japanese ancestry, during the early years of her solo career.
    Gwen Stefani ’s Harajuku era is once again in the headlines after her most recent comments in which she calls herself Japanese. The singer was asked by Allure to reflect on the debut of her Harajuku Lovers fragrance, which debuted 14 years ago and after her 2004 album “Love. Angel. Music. Baby.”
    Sidestepping the backlash, Gwen Stefani took the Harajuku Girls on the road for the Harajuku Lovers Tour, and it received mixed reviews from critics who were either left dazzled or deflated by the show's focus on "eye candy" and "more style than substance," as the Winnipeg Sun described it.
    "If we didn't buy and sell and trade our cultures in, we wouldn't have so much beauty, you know?" she said. "We learn from each other, we share from each other, we grow from each other." Gwen Stefani has been accused of cultural appropriation many times throughout her career — here's the timeline of the controversy involving the Harajuku Girls.
