VIDEO CLIPS OF TOQUE DE TOKYO, JAPANESE TV DOCUMENTARY WITH ANTOINE DE CAUNES. FRENCH CANAL PLUS PROGRAM.
Tis an exciting time… in addition to bringing the NOH8 non-profit to Tokyo, I have new writing and TV jobs are in the works. (Will let you know everything soon.)
I know you’ve been itching to see the Toqué de Tokyo French TV documentary I co-hosted in Japan, with Antoine de Caunes. Finally, I’ve put up clips on my YouTube.
I was Antoine’s guide to Tokyo theme restaurants and crazy subcultures in the 90-minute TV special. I took him to an ear cleaning parlor, theme cafes (babies, cats, maids), and two wild Goth cyber fetish clubs (Tokyo Decadance and Department H). Watch me ride in a rickshaw and laugh manically with my partner in crime, Yukiro Dravarious! (The video is above and here.)
We gave Antoine a taste of our psychedelic clubbing world. (Yukiro went as Jem and the Holograms.)
It’s fun to have my friends involved in the TV shoots. G-suS and Count de Sang gave him a bite of Tokyo Decadance’s nightlife.
On my list of places to visit: the Drop Dead Festival for Gothic Punk and Weird Wave music/culture. The last one was in Lithuania, of all places.
Unzipped pants and nipple tape… what more do you need in a boy?
Here are links to all the BEHIND-THE-SCENES PHOTOS from the Tokyo TV shoot:

Thanks to everyone who saw the Japan documentary and sent me sweet messages! You can always comment in the posts or email me if you want to collaborate.
What do you think of my Toque de Tokyo TV clips? Were you mesmerized or petrified by any of the places we visited?

TERRITORY, DJ TAIKI’S OCCULT GOTH ALTERNATIVE SHOP IN OSAKA. KERA SHOP ARENA, DUTCH TRAVEL TV SHOW INTERVIEWS KENZO-A OF RITUALS.
Oh my Satan. While in Osaka, Yukiro and I tried to visit DJ Taiki’s occult shop, Territory. Inside, there are antiques, silver skull jewelry, tarot cards, witchcraft goodies and fetuses in jars. Unfortunately, we arrived a tad too late, and the iron gates were clamped…
Fortunately, we were able to party with DJ Taiki at his Black Veil anniversary ball… a crazy night involving KISS makeup! You can see more dark fashion photos in this post. Don’t forget to watch my video that caused a bit of scandal.
Since we’re in remembrance mode, here are the last of the Dutch Pepsi photos. Naomi and I arranged for the TV crew to film at Kera Shop Arena, on the top floor of Marui One Shinjuku. We asked our spookiest friends to come along.
We dressed up Bo in Gothic fashion, and interviewed Kenzo-A about his designs. He showed her his brand, Rituals, which is sold at Kera Shop.
She asked him some… strange questions!
If you missed it, you can see a video from the Dutch Pepsi TV show above and on YouTube (I’m now a partner, yay!)
