they are called "The Rollers"...In the mid 70's there was a rocknroll revival movement in Japan...There were rock bands like Carol and Cools. All of them wore black leather jackets and black leather pants. Much like Mod movement in 60's London. They hang out in this street in Harajyuku and danced to the oldies. Even after the rocknroll revival movenet is dead, somehow the rollers kept going. They still dance to the oldies hits like Neil Sedaka nad Ronettes. Pretty strange.
