TOKYO GOTH INDUSTRIAL PARTY: CEVIN KEY OF SKINNY PUPPY, ANTI-FEMINISM, PSYDOLL, MISTRESS MAYA, LUKE OF CHAOS ROYALE.
Hours after I landed in Tokyo, I was outfitted in Moi-meme-Moitie and ready to party all night with Yukiro, G-suS and other Shinjuku spooky-types.
Here’s Yukiro doing what he does best… torturing boys.
Before hitting our final destination — Mistress Maya’s Goth event, Overfused — we got cans of “konbini alcohol” from the aptly-named Family Mart.
Inside, it was a grand Gothic reunion with Michael and Kana. Isn’t her figure to die for?
Outside Club Marz, we ran into Visual Kei band Anti Feminism. They had just finished performing in Shibuya and were on the way to Star Cafe, a favorite hangout spot for Visual Kei rockers. Guitarist Shogo was hopping around and throwing gang-like hand signals in an after-show buzz!
Also getting some fresh air outside: Lothia and industrial/cyber band Psydoll, who are performing at Tokyo’s Design Festa on May 16. How many G-suSes can you spot in these photos?
The night’s headliner was CEvin Key of Skinny Puppy, who played a long DJ set. He congregated backstage with Maya, me, Nekoi (Psydoll vocals and keyboards) and Yukiro.
Kousuke set up a photobooth; I love his high-contrast, high-saturation photos. The one on the left is a tad scandalous!
In addition to DJ-ing and organizing Overfused, Mistress Maya (left) set up a food table and made a delicious, spicy green curry. Luke of Chaos Royale (right) ended the night with a racy performance featuring two girls and “extreme noise for pole dancers.”
What a pleasure to see most of my Tokyo Addams Family again. We’ll be at Maya’s party, Midnight Mess, at Shinjuku Club Marz on May 15th — come revel with us! (Maps, RSVP info and more here.)
Wouldn’t you like to come to one of Maya’s Goth parties? Are you a fan of Skinny Puppy, Anti Feminism (the band, not the concept) and/or convenience store alcohol?
Japanese Word of the Day: Shibari = Japanese rope tying / bondage (a common sight at these parties).
Song of the Day: Oomph – Augen Auf (Suggested by reader Memo.)

scandalously !!!
I love the boy-torture photos hahahahaa ^_^
haha, getting “tortured” by yukiro was so much fun xD
the pictures of you and me on the top are cute :)
thanks ;)))
PS: “How many G-suSes can you spot in these photos?” = xDDDD
Hahah yay for torture!
I was trying to figure out… what is the plural of G-suS? Is it G-Si? (Like octopus = octopi?) Hahah
The woman with the “to die for” figure is in a corset, so how could we tell what her figure is really like?
Hehehe because we’re friends, so I know firsthand that she has a great figure… ;)

My friend is a photographer and somewhere around 1986 we were in his dark room developing Skinny Puppy pictures that he had taken at a concert and he was going on about how it was the most insane show he had ever been to and describing all the crazy antics that the band got up to…nice to see that SP is still going strong!
They certainly are! I saw them play at Midnight Mess in 2008, I think. CEvin Key is often in Tokyo and performs or DJs at Maya’s parties..

I saw that Luke guy perform in Tokyo in December, I’m really not a fan. Back then he had skimpily dressed girls holding guns (writhing on cars? No wait, that was my extended stereotypical scenario) instead of poledancers.
Anyway, I love your orange hair! ^_^
Hahah there were no poles or cars involved… but there were indeed skimpy girls ;)
hey Carmina, I love the new bright neon orange highlights in your hair. You look great!
Thanks so much! I’m having fun playing around with it. More pics and videos to come…
Nice!! :D
awww….my dear G-suS! I miss him so much!
nice pix:)
Oh, god. Please tell me that band name is some Engrish fluke.
I love everything you do, hun! keep it up! :D (aussie love xx)

Why would anyone name their band Anti Feminism?! Yuck! I hate “ironic” discrimination.
The band leader’s stage antics are insane… total self-destruction. Anyone know why he named his band that? Maybe I’ll ask on Twitter…
I would guess its a bad translation from japanese as always :P
Remember the Versailles video that played before their concert? About the insurance company? Wahhh
OMG nightmares!! or the bad Gackt intro/outro videos >_<

Your hair looks amazing. How is Japan beautiful girl?
you look good in your orange hair. I don’t think I can pull it off that look:)
You are so fortunate to get the opportunities to hang with industrial and VK artists. If Versailles -Philharmonic Quintet- was there…I would faint! xD
The VK scene is actually very small in Tokyo… the shows never have that many people, so the bands are happy to hang out…
omg i love ur new color hair! you look cute in the first picture!!!! make more videos… =p

Awesome pix.
I’m glad you liked my suggestion for Song of the Day!! The Official Video is awesome unto itself.
PsyDoll’s website (http://www.psydoll.com/e/03sound.html) I like their sound.
Oh oops, did I link to the wrong site?

You linked correctly. :-)
I had just linked directly to their music page (in English) because I was talking about sound.
It seems I only typed half of what I wanted to say… so it was my Bad, not yours.
