TOKYO CLUB TRAVEL GUIDE: MIDNIGHT MESS GOTH EBM INDUSTRIAL DANCE NIGHTCLUB. JAPAN NIGHTLIFE ENTERTAINMENT ACTIVITIES.
V-fingers! Tokyo readers, are you ready to “danse macabre” all night long with your favorite Goths? Come to Midnight Mess, Tokyo’s longest running EBM/Gothic/Industrial/Darkwave event, this Saturday at Club Marz!
Don’t be intimidated by the vampire teeth: we don’t bite. Nor should you feel intimidated if you don’t know Japanese. As we said in the video, “we speak every tongue… including yours!” (Yukiro, Comte de Sang and G-suS are regulars. That’s Japanese, Swedish, German, English and Satanic between them…)
Midnight Mess attracts colorful characters with colorful hair. I love Kenny Creation’s blue-purple dye.
It’s not hard to find Club Marz (map and directions are here). Just look for the spooky kids taking photos and drinking convenience store alcohol.
Every event has live performances by international acts such as Covenant, Skinny Puppy, Spanking Machine. Backstage, G-suS makes a cute face before Xenophobia and Rose Noire’s performances.
Warning: you may encounter random shenanigans…
Who else might you run into? Luke Chaos, and my minion Kanae. You can see more photos of my Innocent World dress and eyelashes in this post (as well as an Evil Queen makeup tutorial).
The party goes from midnight to 5am, and you’re free to take a trip to the Family Mart for drinks and then re-enter. Arina squeezed G-suS’s stomach so hard that he peed his skirt. (Just keeding! Or am I… Sebastien…?)
Come this Saturday, June 26th to Midnight Mess at Club Marz! It costs 2500 yen if you wear dress code, 3000 yen advance (email RSVP@midnightmess.com) and 3500 yen at the door. Say hi to DJ and organizer Mistress Maya for me!

Do you and friends have a regular hangout? Such as a club night or recurring event?
Japanese Word of the Day: Shakuhachi = traditional bamboo flute
Song of the Day: Theatre of Hate – Legion (I hereby declare that this shall be post punk / early Goth music week.)

Mr. Kenny Creation certainly looked like he was chill with everything. So despite how corny this may sound…but I think most would agree that there hasn’t been such a beautiful mess…….UNTIL NOW.
Kenny is a gorgeous Mess regular! ;)

Everyone looks so cute. I have that shirt tunic your wearing!
I had a dream we were shopping in some dumpy corner of a mall. Basil was hanging off of clothes hangers like a monkey and then I had to pretend to be your pirate husband or something. It’s all fuzzy now. XD

I’ve met a lot of those people…but not Luke Chaos! Cool hat he has! It loks great as always. I always find I enjoy the music at Midnight mess – it’s the same music we have in goth clubs at home. But there are more westerners at MM than some other clubs like Alamode and Walpurgis.
Oh, and if it’s post punk/deathrock/ early goth week – 13th Moon should defo be on the list for style of music, even if they are a band from now :)
I think the crowd is friendliest at M Mess… it’s my favorite! <3
Did you see Candyman's comment in the Dark Marchen post? " King has quit our group a year ago to focus on other things. Him and I also have a music project http://www.myspace.com/kingnocandi "
It’s very experimental, isn’t it? Like spooky-electro-glam or summat :) But hmm…nice pictures….nice to see them both without make-up. Ryan always makes himself look so ugly.
And yes, I do think the crowd at MM are very friendly (apart from one rude foreigner I encountered last time who screamed at me not to put my bag on the floor – she almost made me cry, and Jab and Suzanne had to calm me down)

My guy friends and I kill zombies every week! XD We play a board game called Last Night on Earth (http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/29368/last-night-on-earth-the-zombie-game). One person controls the zombies while everyone else plays horror movie archetypes, like the prom queen and the small town sheriff. I’m the high school sweetheart who kicks a lot of butt.
That sounds amazing! Have you read the Zombie Survival Guide handbook? Very funny.
So cute ! <3
