KERA SHOP ARENA J-ROCK PUNK CLOTHES, ZEALINK, GOTH ROCK CLOTHING IN NEW MARUI. VISUAL KEI JAPANESE MUSIC STORE, BAND OUTFITS.
We’ve arrived! The top floor of the new Marui One Shinjuku is your one-stop shop for Goth/Punk/rock clothing and goods. The old Kera Arena was a tad grungy and cluttered, but I liked it; the anarchic atmosphere matched the plaid and spikes strewn about. The renovated version is cleaner and better organized…
The citizens of Kera Arena haven’t changed. Qutie Frash delivers Wa (Japanese)-inspired clothes next to Zealink, Super Lovers, Sex Pot Revenge, Hellcatpunks, Listen Flavor and other casual brands.
As always, Blablahospital’s bloody and patched accessories stand out from the mix.
Love the stripes and color contrast. You can check out this post for photos of Blablahospital and ZoeStyles’ in-store event at Kera Arena.
Also on the top floor of Marui: a Visual Kei and J-rock-oriented music store!
A rotation of band outfits are displayed inside. Don’t forget to stop by the rack of free Visual Kei posters on the way out; it’s an easy way to decorate your bedroom walls like mine.
A photographer just took photos of Basil Farrow and me for a newspaper article… Fake purple eyelashes, dark blue lips, Gothic Lolita wallpaper background, and Scottish Fold kitty in arms! Can’t wait to share them with you.
Now it’s time to play with my new obsession: FL Studio (Fruity Loops), an electronic music program. Has anyone tried this software? For practice, I’ve been creating an Italo Disco track a day. Yesterday, I replicated…

KERA SHOP ANGEL WITH MOI-MEME-MOTIE, ATELIER BOZ. NEW RENOVATED MARUI ONE SHINJUKU, PHOTOS OF BOYSTYLE, CLASSIC LOLITA, GOTH ARISTOCRAT CLOTHING.
All in all, the new Marui rocks… with one exception. Mana’s legendary Moi-meme-Moitie shop – the one with the giant blue cross and coffin changing room – is no more. His Elegant Gothic Lolita and Aristocrat garments are now sold on a single rack in the Kera Angel shop.
At least he’s in good company on the seventh floor. Kera Angel houses an appealing selection of Lolita brands including Miho Matsuda, Milky Ange, Innocent World, and Mary Magdalene.
Around the corner, Atelier Boz holds down the boystyle fort. Everyone knows I melt in the presence of this dashing look.
And that’s all for the Sweet Lolita floor of MaruiOne Shinjuku. Don’t you wish your bedroom looked like this? Now strap on your spiky collars and follow me upstairs to Kera Arena’s Goth/Punk/Rock lair.
