If you’re a fan of 3D zombies — and even if you aren’t — there’s a movie in theaters right now that you can’t miss. Resident Evil: Afterlife. The cameras nose-dive into the famous Shibuya street crossing, where a delicate Japanese girl (Mika Nakashima) is caught in the pouring rain. Her eyes latch onto an oncoming businessman… brace yourself for the first zombie girl attack!

Interesting quote from the star, Milla Jovovich: “In Japan, literally 95 percent of the viewers are girls that go see these movies, and in America it’s the opposite. Girls in Tokyo really, really need these strong role models, where I think women in America think the films are too violent.” (Source: Reuters).

Resident Evil: Afterlife has slick style (Milla’s holster and corset!), high-kicking female characters and an electronica soundtrack. The direction has an artsy feel that separates this movie from typical blow-up blockbusters. And the fight scene in the showers with an overgrown zombie wielding the world’s biggest axe? Bloody brilliant. Have you seen the film yet? Go! (Thank you to Alliance Films for the advance screening passes.)

Speaking of Japanese zombies… I thought you might enjoy these photos of undead DJs and dancers from the most recent Gothic Bar Heaven club night in Tokyo.

The Goth / Industrial music begins around midnight at Shibuya Club Crawl. (Maps, directions and detailed reports are found in my Japan clubbing guide.)

The girls mix up the styles. DJ Tetra (right) is as emo-boy-weak as ever. Love it.

Do you recognize DJ Chihiro, without the white facepaint? He often plays at this club night, run by D’s Valentine.

Can’t say I enjoyed the live show very much… The guitarist on right was cutting herself and licking the blood!

Here are some images from July’s Midnight Mess. It was when Yukiro’s first live musical performance took place! DJ SiSEN wore horns and magical makeup for the occasion.

Yukiro was a “fashion-forward killer bitch Evil Queen.” You can read more about his musical mission here.

Sad that you missed his performance? Above is a video of Dravarious performing a cover of Moi dix Mois – Dialogue Symphonie! Yukiro also played several of his original songs. Stay tuned for news about his next concert…

Quite a few of my friends are having parties and performances next weekend:

LOS ANGELES, September 16: Do you remember the Jpop Purikura party I hosted in the spring?

LOS ANGELES, September 16-30: Horror artist Dienzo (who painted a vampire portrait of me and gave us a tour of Cartoon Network headquarters) has a new art exhibit opening at Hyaena Galley (remember when we visited?). “I’ve partnered with Eric Pigors to celebrate our love of spooky monsters and creepy chicks. Basically he does pen and ink drawings and colors then digitally, then I use that as inspiration to create my own versions of his characters in my style.” Check out the exhibit at Hyaena Gallery in Burbank, which runs September 16-30. There is an Artist Reception: September 18th, 8pm-Midnight.

Okay, let’s hear your thoughts on the new Resident Evil and Yukiro’s musical performance!

Japanese Word of the Day: Juyouu = Demand
Song of the Day: Dir en Grey – Vinushka (Anyone seeing or seen the band on tour in USA? A report is coming up on my blog!)

    Ooh! I like Yukiro’s eyelashes. <3

    I'm surprised it's called Biohazard! I haven't checked the series out really, but have been meaning to!

      Heyyy are you going to Dir en Grey today? Rose will be there! If you see her, tell her she can go to the VIP meet and greet… just in case I’m not able to reach her beforehand and let her know. xo

    Surprising that these kind of movies have such a big female fan following in japan. If only that enthusiasm would spill over to America. :)

      I think butt-kicking female action movies are always quite popular in Japan! Looking forward to Gothic Lolita Psycho.

    Hi, La Carmina! I was wondering if you could do a post on lolita/fairy-kei decora wigs. I cannot for the life of me, find good pastel colors or, for that matter, multi tone wigs. And figured you’d be good to look into this! Specifically pink/baby blue/lavender mixes or split bang color ones. So much pain to try to find!

      Ohhh good question. I have no idea… but they sort of look like something Leche by Yosuke might make.

      the shoes are called “wild rose lipstick red platforms pumps” you can purchase them on ebay. they are identical to the zombie girls’ in the opening scene. you can also purchase her tights on ebay too.
