Description
When I lived in Japan Purikura was SO damn popular, my girlfriends and I went every other day to take photos
I dont know if its still popular now, but I know its not very popular anymore in Korea~ so nara and I can never take many when we go visit (so hard to find good machines)
I was super happy when we saw that japan town has some really nice imported purikura booths in the mall, yay!

This may be a weird question, but do they like "people of colour" in Japan?
My mom's friend says they don't, but I don't believe her D:

I think it depends on what area you go to, in small areas that they are not used to foreigners they would stare and make a fuss (thats how it was for me, the whole town would stare/beep the car horn/ or say hello on my way to school at first....and I don't look that unique in color or anything to begin with ) .....its more like a shy/interested or mini celebrity type of attitude in most areas if you are not asian, so I see it just being a little stronger/more noticeable if you are darker skinned.
I saw plenty of darker skinned people in the larger cities~ and just like with the white people we were pretty much ignored since you see a lot of different people in the cities now a days, lol. Im sure its just like "oh hey a dark guy, cooooool" for most of them now~ haha.
Korea is a different story though, they are quite afraid of anything not korean and some (not all) will make it painfully obvious lets just say :/

LOL thanks for answering my question.
I asked some other people as well, but they were saying that they never really paid any attention.
That kinda sucks w/Korea D:
I'm going to go there this summer
So you would say I'm better off in Japan? xD

haha nah, dont let it turn you off to korea~ the worst things they do is stare or shut an elevator door on you.
