VIDEO: CANDY SPOOKY THEATER LIVE HALLOWEEN CONCERT, TRICK OR TREAT, TOKYO JAPAN. VISUAL KEI HORROR BAND.
This is Halloween, This is Halloween! I spent October 31st at the Candy Spooky Theater and SaTaN concert (at Meguro Rockmaykan in Tokyo). Wish you were there? Never fear: we filmed a video of the Trick-or-Treat-tastic performance.
Introducing “our latest victim,” Sebastiano Serafini! ( セバスティアーノ セラフィニー ) He’s never been to a Visual Kei concert OR made a video with us before, so Yukiro and I gave him the full bloody treatment. (You’ll be seeing more of Sebastiano on this blog; stay tuned…)
Jack Spooky kindly put us very serious reporters on the guest list. Candy Spooky Theater is known for its Visual Horror look and theatrics, and killed it on these fronts. But the music was also surprisingly strong: the band went from a ballad to jazz to disco electro, nailing each genre and making it their own. Oh, the energy! Jack flailed around the stage in a skeleton dance; bassist Peggy Giggles strummed so hard that blood streamed down his hand.
The highlight was when SaTaN joined their comrades on stage to sing “This Is Halloween” from Tim Burton’s Nightmare Before Christmas. Watch the magic in the above video and here.
Almost all of the concertgoers were female, as always. Quite a few dressed extravagantly for the special Halloween show.

Next, I’ll post a video and review from SaTaN’s final show with the four original members. Please subscribe to my YouTube channel so you won’t miss out!
What do you think of the Candy Spooky Theater footage? Did you laugh at the “I am Sebastian” moment in the video?
PS: congrats to Spooky Sally and Shira, winners of the Iron Fist zombie shoes contest!

TORTURE GARDEN JAPAN: HALLOWEEN FETISH BDSM CLUB PARTY, AKASAKA EREBOS TOKYO. KIGURUMI & SEXY JAPANESE GIRLS IN LEATHER.
Twas the night before Halloween and all through the land / Spooky kids were gathering at Torture Garden Japan. Here’s what I wore for the most important occasion of the year…
Goth Nun outfit: Habitualized costume, gifted from Lip Service. Appropriately skimpy!
White fishnets: gifted from We Love Colors
Black and white shoes: John Fluevog
A dramatic night of dramatic poses. Yukiro dressed in “classic Dravarious,” while First Mate Naomi was a French maid.
In our universe, every day is Halloween. Our outfits always cause a stir when we’re riding on the subway.
Yukiro’s maniacal laughter resounded through the underground passages.
Atsushi wears “the mark of Satan” all over his face. He co-stars in our upcoming Evil Queen makeup video, which will be posted soon… (You’ll laugh so hard at our antics!)
Outside the club (Akasaka Erebos) we ran into Maria. I love the buttons down the outer sleeve of her elegant Gothic top.
Designer Kenzo also wore a dangerous spiky collar.
Kenzo is wearing his brand, Rituals. You’ll recall that I interviewed him for CNN TV.
Six of us got into Torture Garden for free — a new clubbing record.
The fashion inside was very varied. Latex, vinyl, Gothic…
Fairy kei, cyber decora, Victorian burlesque…
There were whips, masks and other instruments of pain for sale.
You’ll always run into kigurumi at fetish parties such as Department H. I find them delightful, though the half-realistic masks (left) are slightly chilling. Someone was inside this blow-up cow, shaking his plastic hooves to the music.
“There was a lot of riff-raff downstairs”. The music was pretty good upstairs (80s, neo-disco, electro).
Orange Halloween hair. The pair on the right was covered in eyeballs and had giant spiders in their hair.
A masked slave, metal chain leashed around his neck, begged for abuse from passersby. In the back, there was “libido” area where senses were aroused by volunteers in leopard suits…
Overall, a satisfactory nightcrawl! What did you do for All Hallow’s Eve? How did you dress up? More Halloween adventures coming right up…
