COS-CHA MAID CAFE AKIHABARA, ARABIAN ROCK THEME RESTAURANT. TOKYO JAPAN FIXERS, PRODUCTION ARRANGERS.
Have you spotted La Carmina on Food Network Channel recently? I’ve been appearing on the TV show “World’s Weirdest Restaurants.”
For the maid cafe scene, I got my hair done at a Kabukicho hostess/gyaru salon.
Key dress: Banana Fish, from Closet Child Tokyo
Coffin backpack: h.NAOTO, from Closet Child Tokyo
Strappy Goth shoes: Yosuke, from Marui One Shinjuku
At Cos-Cha maid cafe in Akihabara, customers pay to be spoon-fed and slapped! I explain the cultural context for the audience.
The waitresses engage in pancake-eating and drinking contests with the boys. The rules are skewed in the maids’ favor.
When this otaku failed to finish a disgusting drink in time, he got whacked on the cheek by the French maid.
Typical customers: geeky boys. One brought along a Hello Kitty comic.
In the past months, Naomi and I have been fixing/hosting a variety of TV shows. We shot with National Geographic Taboo and NHK Kawaii TV, and a Pro Sieben travel show. You can learn more about our TV arranging and presenting work on our Pirates website.
A genie, and bellydancers.. this can only be Arabian Rock, the Aladdin theme restaurant in Shinjuku.
To “open sesame,” you have to rub the magic lamp. Three wishes are not guaranteed.
We Pirates found treasure, arr! For more about Japan’s bizarre theme restaurants, take a gander at La Carmina’s book.
If you could open any theme restaurant, what would it be? Has anyone been to the Pirate theme restaurant in Odaiba yet?

LOVE your hair!!!!! ^.^
great city, isn’t it?
you will be on food network? how exciting!!

Amazing!
Any other disney themed restaurant would be awesome. Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Jungle Book, etc…
I haven’t been there, but I heard about an Aprils Fool themed restaurant in Rotterdam Holland. The pictures look nice though.
Those stories were not actually by Disney, so the look of the themes related to those stories may vary.
I will probably open a mermaid-themed restaurant…cheesy, I know, but can’t get enough of them :3 Or maybe one with a mad-bloody-asylum-theme, that will be so fun. Waiters in straits-jackets, anyone?
CARMINA! I LOVE YOUR HAIR WITH THAT GOTHIC KEY DRESS! This is so wonderful! :)
You’re such an inspiration to me, I was wondering if you could take a look at an amateur photoshoot I did for one of my gothic lolita designs. It would be such an honor <3333
