CHRISTON CAFE SHINJUKU RENEWAL PARTY: GOTH WEDDING DRESSES, NEW JESUS THEME RESTAURANT IN TOKYO, JAPAN.
Christon Cafe, the infamous Jesus-themed restaurant where Tokyo Decadance often spreads its wings (remember this Halloween post?), took some time off for plastic surgery. Last Thursday, Christon removed its bandages and let in the Japanese Goths.
I sent in my roving reporters to give you the full scoop. In this video, Dravarious the Daring and Lionheart the Lovely investigate Tokyo’s latest and darkest Masquerade… the Christon Cafe Renewal Party. Sadly (and amusingly), the duo has some difficulties along the way!
The new Christon is immense – we’re headed there for dinner soon, so I’ll be posting photos! That night, there was a procession of beautiful Japanese Gothic bride dresses. (Photos by Michelle.)
Much better than the typical white, A-line wedding gown, don’t you think?
My dream wedding would either take place at Christon Shinjuku (with Japanese Goths stuffed into the pews) or at Puroland (officiated by Hello Kitty and Dear Daniel)! Instead of a wedding singer, we’d have Selia’s operatic “oh-ha-ha-haaaa-haaaa”…
Want to see more of Christon Cafe Shinjuku and Shibuya? There are many full-color photos in my Theme Restaurant book… thanks to everyone who already pre-ordered it!
Song of the Day #148: Disco Hallelujah Carmina, or whatever the track is in the roving reporter video.
