SATAN FINAL LIVE IN TOKYO: VISUAL KEI BAND’S VIDEO MESSAGE TO FANS. HALLOWEEN EVENTS, CONCERTS IN JAPAN.
Beware, my dark ones… I’ve uploaded a Satanic new Visual Kei video! La Carmina and friends bring you a concert review and exclusive footage from the final SaTaN concert, held on Halloween in Tokyo.
La Carmina and Yukiro’s “virgin victim,” Sebastiano Serafini セバスティアーノ セラフィニー , broke out of his chains and ran away. However, the evil duo ropes in other unsuspecting concertgoers, including a Japanese punk boy, kawaii Lolita girls and… DK, the drummer of SaTaN, who delivers a message to his fans!
Sadness: this was Satan’s final show with the original four members. Shiya and DK are leaving the horror Visual Kei group for nightmarish new projects. Mr. Satan and leader Hi-na will soon find replacements and continue with the band. In our exclusive video, you can see clips from their very last FINAL performance together.
Ready to Trick-or-Treat? Watch the SaTaN live footage above and on YouTube.
In the previous SaTaN concert video we made, the band wore bloody Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland costumes. Some of their fans cosplayed them.
As I say in the video, the performance was a nightmare in a good and bad way. Thumbs up to the half-naked outfits, high energy and candy-throwing…
Thumbs down to the water-spitting and repetitive metal music. SaTaN played on and on… three encores, three riffs, three hours.
SaTaN a horror-show and we’re happy we got to spend Halloween with them. Please watch our video to see what DK, the drummer, has to say to you!
If you missed our Candy Spooky Theater video report (from the same night), you can see it here.

TOQUE DE TOKYO, ANTOINE DE CAUNES JAPON DOCUMENTAIRE: CANAL PLUS. FRENCH TRAVEL TV SHOW, CO-HOSTED BY LA CARMINA.
Tonight, ce soir! French friends, I hope you’ll catch the premiere of Toqué de Tokyo, the documentary that I co-hosted with Antoine de Caunes (of Eurotrash fame).
We filmed the TV program last May, but I haven’t been able to show you any photos from the shoot… until now. Here’s a gorgeous selection by Jérémie Souteyrat.
During the 90 minute show, I take host Antoine de Caunes to Tokyo’s weirdest, wildest pop culture places. We begin with an epic opening sequence, filmed in Ueno Park. Let’s just say it involves Yukiro, a rickshaw and evil laughter.
The crew filmed at the Omotesando Baby Cafe, where posh parents bring their children. As you can imagine, Antoine and I treated our black baby doll with the utmost disregard.
Fun fact: je parles Francais — I speak French — during the entire show.
When you’re co-hosting a TV show with the very funny Antoine de Caunes, work is play.

We filmed a hilarious scene at…
An ear-cleaning parlor! Can you guess what we pulled out of Antoine’s ear?
Antoine and I discuss the scene with Peter Stuart, the director (who also worked on Eurotrash).
I put the TV crew in touch with Tokyo Decadance, and we organized a big party scene at Decadance Bar. Count de Sang, Yukiro, Naomi and I showed Antoine how we party.
Antoine was quite the sight: walking along Yasakuni-doori with us eccentrics, in a borrowed Hana-Kengo costume!
Watch the 90 minute documentary, Toque de Tokyo…
Lundi, le 15 Novembre: 20h50 sur Canal +
Lundi, le 15 Novembre: 22h15 sur DeCale
(Later, I will put clips on my YouTube channel.)
Thanks to the French TV crew for having me on the show. You can see my TV hosting reels (and learn about my film arranging business) on my La Carmina & The Pirates site. Coming up: more behind-the-scenes photos from the Tokyo documentary.
What do you think of the baby cafe, ear cleanings and Tokyo Decadance photos?
