Girls playing an air soft gun (a survival game)

A survival game is said to have originated in Japan. In the game you use an air soft gun and plastic bullets to split up with your opponents. From around 2010, the number of players increased dramatically when survival games began to appear in manga and anime. You can often see "Sabage girls", which means girls playing a survival game, dressing up in combat uniforms on SNS. They have dressed in various styles such as trendy street fashion, punk, Gothic, and Lolita with the maniac combat uniforms, and enjoy not only the game itself but also fashion.(Ms.Riko)August 25, 2015, Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan.(Credit:style-arena.jp/Kyodo News Images)
