VIDEO CLIPS OF TOQUE DE TOKYO, JAPANESE TV DOCUMENTARY WITH ANTOINE DE CAUNES. FRENCH CANAL PLUS PROGRAM.
Tis an exciting time… in addition to bringing the NOH8 non-profit to Tokyo, I have new writing and TV jobs are in the works. (Will let you know everything soon.)
I know you’ve been itching to see the Toqué de Tokyo French TV documentary I co-hosted in Japan, with Antoine de Caunes. Finally, I’ve put up clips on my YouTube.
I was Antoine’s guide to Tokyo theme restaurants and crazy subcultures in the 90-minute TV special. I took him to an ear cleaning parlor, theme cafes (babies, cats, maids), and two wild Goth cyber fetish clubs (Tokyo Decadance and Department H). Watch me ride in a rickshaw and laugh manically with my partner in crime, Yukiro Dravarious! (The video is above and here.)
We gave Antoine a taste of our psychedelic clubbing world. (Yukiro went as Jem and the Holograms.)
It’s fun to have my friends involved in the TV shoots. G-suS and Count de Sang gave him a bite of Tokyo Decadance’s nightlife.
On my list of places to visit: the Drop Dead Festival for Gothic Punk and Weird Wave music/culture. The last one was in Lithuania, of all places.
Unzipped pants and nipple tape… what more do you need in a boy?
Here are links to all the BEHIND-THE-SCENES PHOTOS from the Tokyo TV shoot:

That Antoine is quite the character. I laughed at how he swung you around by the arm.
And I wasn’t aware maids would get on their knees and hold your drink to your mouth.(now I have to go to a maid cafe XD)
Yes, and the maids will hit you… a nice experience!
Fun fun fun !
Very creative and colourful photos! For more see here: http://www.torrentoff.com
Whoa. So many weird yet interesting things are in Tokyo! I want to go (^-^) but what freaked me out the most was the club where people are actually getting their foreheads injected with that stuff o.O Either way, you definitely have the coolest job ever~
Takashiiiiiiiiiiiii O_O I do believe he is the perfect man :D
hahaha! ;)
What a pity, je ne comprends pas bien la Français. Did I really spot a fat black guy in a jockstrap??? HORROR O_OMG
haha LE HORREUR!
I had to cut out all the nudity in the original video because YouTube took it down…
Ms La Carmina, your command of the french langage, and adorable accent, allied to your natural beauty would make it very difficult for any French male to resist you ; as smart as charming, you are very gifted.
These young people are so extravagant and they spend merry their night time at clubs. It seems to me I saw them on one nice video from http://www.torrentoff.com Really cool! We forgot how to have a godo time with our busy life!
