Concerning the globalization of culture, 'Glocalization model' recently becomes prevaling. The global culture interacts with local cultures and the interaction creates new localized cultures. In many cases, this model is appropriate. However, as for the globalization of youth subcultures, it can't be applied all the time. In this paper, I present five cases of penetrations of foreign youth subcultures into Japanese society. Hip-hop culture was separated into some components and fragmentarily imported into Japanese society. In the case of Skater culture, in the '70s, it was rejected by Japanese society and however, in the '90s, it was slotted into there. In some occasions, Heavy Metal culture keeps its originality also in HJapan and in other occasions, it's re-interpreted, re-edited and articulated with new elements. As Slasher or Trekkie culture was boren in America, at almost the same time the Yaoi or Otaku culture was born in Japan. These two cultures were created separately and independently. Rave culture originated in the USA and the UK essentially had universal and cosmopolitan characters. So, in the process of diffusing in Japan, it wasn't transformed. Through these case studies, I present the diversity of the globalization of youth subculture in the Japanese social contexts.
