ALAMODE NIGHT AT CLUB CRAWL SHIBUYA: DJ SISEN, TAKUYA ANGEL, CHIHIRO, TETRA, KANON. TOKYO GOTH INDUSTRIAL GABBER CLUB MUSIC.
The last two times I went to Alamode Night, the Gothic dance party was at StudioCube326 in Tamachi. (Previous coverage here and here.) The event has now moved to the more conveniently-located Club Crawl in Shibuya (map and directions are in my Tokyo club guide). I wore…
Lolita dress with kitty-cat print: Innocent World, from the renovated Closet Child Harajuku. I can’t believe I got it for $98 – less than half off!
Purse: Kiyo “Kawayi”, from Hong Kong
Hair flowers, face stickers: Daiso
Black tights with silver skulls: Hong Kong
Remember my Death Cookbook duel with Hungry Ghost? He came back from limbo with only half a face. In the summer heat, I think he’s a Thirsty Ghost!
We’re fans of this D’s Valentine event because it is DJs-only (no mediocre spooky bands). Starting at midnight, we danced to DJs Kanon, Tetra, Sisen (on the left, who came with Robert on the right), Takuya Angel, and Chihiro (minus his ghoulish facepaint). Poor DJ Caesar ended the party at 4:45am with an anime set that made everyone leave the room!
Now THIS is Tokyo alternative/club fashion: DJ Kanon lit up the room with her feathery eyelashes and green mermaid wig. Her Lolita rocking horse shoes, lip piercing, Goth necklace, and Fairy Kei accessories span several style tribes.
Many Japanese girls take inspiration from Lolita and let their imaginations go wild: Wa meets Kawaii… Goth and neon… there ain’t no rules in this playground.
And how about some Japanese Goth boys? That’s DJ Tetra in the middle; I have video of all the sets coming up, including your beloved Sisen! Newly-hired Trend Scout Carmina says gabber/industrial/hardcore are on the rise in the club scene; I missed Tokyo Hardcore Construction but there are more parties coming up. Expect to hear pounding tracks such as:
Song of the Day #158: Neophyte – Army Of Hardcore

DJ Kanon is cute too–I love her wig.
OMG seems like so much fun!
and there is a local fabric shop that sells cutsie fabric like your kitty dress (whcih is adorable btw) but the price starts at 10 britsh pounds and thats only for the very very basic fabric :(
anyway great post and I love the green hair!
I tried to dye my hair blue but then i got it cut and the hairdresser somehow turned it green with her shampoo -_-
She switches between blonde and sea green… pretty good color choices!
Oh sweet! One of my friends thinks that the 'demented kitties' on my dress are horrifying, but I love it! ;)
Once upon a time, I also had blue hair that quickly faded to icky green…

Great post! (Where have I been? I know no comments lately but I'm still reading and enjoying!)
I love the neon goths! I have a very similar chain as to what she's wearing, its belongs to my parrot! Sparky (the parrot) is going to notice some missing pieces when I go out now lol.
Speaking of, my cousin and I are going to to some nyc clubs tomorrow, I haven't told her yet but depending how it goes we might photo-journal the adventure! (no the bird won't be coming, if he starts behaving on his leash maybe for some cemetery walks or tea parties lol).
Nice dress :D
Nice to hear from you and Sparky! Hope you've been enjoying the summer.
Which NYC clubs are you going to? I'd love to see you document the adventure!

Starting off with Cybertron (@Don Hills), then going to try Salvation (also @ Don Hills), Underworld (@ The Sullivan Room), Berlin (@ Sappony) & maybe Darkwater (@ Otto’s Shrunken Head). We just missed the last Asylum Guild. There are some new venues opening up soon and others might go to.
