VIDEO: KAYA JROCK CONCERT, VISUAL KEI LIVE IN TOKYO. KALEIDOSCOPE BAND, ELEGANT GOTHIC ARISTOCRAT FASHION.
Kaya-sama… as a man? You better believe it! A new Tokyo Visual Kei concert video, for your consideration…
La Carmina and Yukiro report on Kaya’s live performance with his band Kaleidoscope at Ikebukuro Black Hole (with LIX, Keith and Thomas). See the Jrock performer’s Elegant Gothic Aristocrat “manly look” and hear new songs including “Night Circus.” Although there were only five songs, Kaya impressed us with his strong voice and jazz-influenced direction. No wonder he likens his songwriting to a many-colored rainbow.
We hope you enjoy the concert footage and review. You can see more photos of our makeup and outfits here. Please subscribe to my YouTube channel so you won’t miss the GPKISM and SaTaN videos coming up!
I’m devilishly delighted to be writing a monthly column called Global Gothic for Lip Service Webzine! My aim is to shine the spotlight on dark, alternative fashion in various parts of the world — starting with Osaka. You can read the first installment here. Let me know what you think.
Do you like Kaya’s “manly look” and new songs?

WIN MODERN CAT SCRATCHER CHAIR, PET FURNITURE GIVEAWAY CONTEST! SCOTTISH FOLD TO BE ON CATS 101 TV SHOW, ANIMAL PLANET DISCOVERY CHANNEL.
Wahhh! I’m so proud of my Scottish Fold cat Basil Farrow — he was scouted by the producers of “Cats 101” show! So you’ll be seeing him on the “Fat Cats” TV episode, airing on Animal Planet / Discovery Channel this fall or early next year. (Til then, you can watch his sideways-feet on my YouTube channel.)
Let’s celebrate… by doing another grand giveaway. Remember when CSN Stores sent him this designer cat scratcher/lounge chair? The manufacturer, Marmalade, loved the photos so much that they’ve donated a new, identical “Cheeky Chaise” for you to win.
HOW TO ENTER…
† It’s hard to keep Basil Farrow from getting bored! Please leave me a comment, with suggestion(s) on how to keep my Scottish Fold entertained (games, toys, tricks etc). Much appreciated!
† Please add La Carmina on Twitter, Facebook Group and/or Facebook Page. Include the URL or your name/username in your comment for verification.
The contest is open to all residents of USA, Canada and Europe. You may only enter once and must fulfill both requirements to be eligible. Contest ends Weds, June 30th at midnight Pacific Time.
Everyone deserves a cuteness break, right? I uploaded a new Scottish Fold video (above and here). He stands up on his hind legs, demands tummy rubs, chases a Sega Zhu Zhu robot hamster, lounges on his fancy chair… doesn’t he look like a stuffed teddy bear? I also talk about distinctive Scottish Fold behaviors, the two things that scare Basil, and “truths about cats” that don’t apply to him.
Thanks for entering the contest — good luck, everyone! I’m certain your kitties will adore the prize. You can also find the Marmalade cat scratcher and other items for pampering your pets on CSN Store’s website.
Do your cats land lightly on their feet? Or do they make a big PLOP like Basil does in the video?
Japanese Word of the Day: Batta = Grasshopper
