SEILEEN CD RELEASE PARTY AT DECADANCE BAR, CHRISTON CAFE. DJ SISEN, SELIA, ADRIEN OF TOKYO DECADANCE CLUB PARTY.
Let’s play Where’s Waldo. Can you spot the absinthe? Epicurean Bible? Cyber-gender-bending? Welcome to the Seileen CD release party at Decadance Bar, right above Christon Cafe Shinjuku.
I introduced the Australian crew to DJ SiSEN and Selia, and interviewed them for the travel TV show. The Aussies wanted to get Gothed up, so we drew crucifixes on their faces.
Here’s Tatsu of Gastunk and The Killing Red Addiction, with Mistress Maya (who DJ-ed a tremendous set that night). Do you like SiSEN’s new makeup? I’m envious of how much he can cinch his corset.
Adrien le Danois (organizer of the Tokyo Decadance party) and bartender Porco Porter (who you may recognize in white as Kengo).
Arr, I spot me pirates! The TV cameras captured Selia’s opera, which is like a flying dream.
There’s always a wide range of fashion at Decadance Bar: Gothic Lolita, Wa (Japan) meets Eyes Wide Shut, Kigurumi. I’m in a maid outfit because we were shooting since morning (at the Cosplay Festival).
My adorable friends Kenny Creation and Sophia, the new vocalist of Osaka metal-electro-industrial band Blood Stain Child.
Maya has seen absolutely everything… but I don’t think she’s ever been interviewed by Pikachu and Keroro!
Sweet Decora girls and sweet baby G-suS.
When it comes to fashion, there are no rules here — and that’s my kind of party. For more Decadance Bar info and photos from theme nights, please read this post.
Would you feel at home at an event like this? Thoughts on the eclecticism of Japanese underground fashion?

I hope some day I get to see you again. <3 I'll be less shy.
Cute stuff!
lol I’d LOVE to visit Decadence Bar!! I’d feel more at home than I do at my ACTUAL home!!
It’s the place where everyone knows your name… :)
that is good!!!
When I go to Japan that would be the first bar I’ll hit!! I <3 Seileen and decadance. It was so bad they didn't tour Amsterdam this/last year…
You must go there… you’ll love it! Very friendly and scary folk ahah
Oh wow I want to go there so much!
All of the nights go to seem such small scale in comparison and the outfits are so fabulous compared to what people in my local scene wear.
That Decora girl’s yarn falls are amazing by the way :)
I’m going to post incredible photos of 2 Decora girls in Harajuku soon… check back!
I’d love to go to one of those XD I think I’d love it AND be scared to death XD
Everyone is so nice though! You won’t feel afraid, guaranteed. :)
Haha, maybe I should hide behind you? ;]
let me know if there would be anything i can help !!
That night was soooo much fun^.^ I can’t wait to go back to Tokyo during winter holiday. ohh the memories. he he ^.^
Kenny looks so cute in the hat :3
YES!!! I love that hat. He needs to have it. ^.~
i always imagine these people would have a good time explaining their fashion to their kids
Children tend to be really accepting of people wearing odd things, it’s other adults that seem to have problems (I’m the daughter of a goth)
That’s very true. In the contest where people talked about funny reactions to their outfits, the adults freaked out while the children said “look, a princess” or “I want to be like her!”
haha～super geeeek!!!>_<
HA HA!!
G-sus :3 & pinku overload :D
I would love to be there!!!
This is awesome
Where’d they get the babydoll mask? That is way cool.
My dear, that’s stunning. Just how old is Tatsu actually? Why do they never seem to show any aging sign, these J Rockers? D:
Did you remember to give SiSeN a kiss for me? <3
I always do! <3
WOOOOW! How amazing! You just feed my eyes. Thanks for sharing. I love lolita.
Seileen is dressed extra sexy! 0.O <3
i love your blogs xD.
I love SiSeN’s style~. But if I were ever to go to an event like this it would be more homey-like-ish than my own inhabitation. Everyone seems so nice~ Do events like this get really hot and sweaty? (I would Imagine they would :c)
At times, the events are quite crowded and everyone dances up a sweat… but it’s not too bad. Decabar is quite well ventilated, and on quiet nights, it’s perfect to catch up with friends and drink absinthe. :D
If Decadance goes on a tour again, please hit Singapore, cause’ a lot of us are waiting :D carmina, is another tour in the works? :3
