2009 MOI DIX MOIS & KOZI CONCERT, DEEP SANCTUARY TOUR, EBISU LIQUIDROOM. MANA SAMA PERFORMS LIVE IN TOKYO JAPAN.
I had no ticket for the Moi dix Mois and Kozi Deep Sanctuary concert (July 19, 2009 at Ebisu Liquidroom) – but decided to meet my friends and see what fate had in store for me. Perhaps one of them would drop dead and I could go in his place? (You may recall how I nabbed a Gackt seat at the very last moment.)
The J-Goths met at Ebisu Station at 3:30pm and walked to a nearby stall for pre-concert taiyaki (fish-shaped waffle with red bean or custard inside). In the summer, you can buy taiyaki in a cup of ice cream or with frozen fillings. Hardcore pose, right?
I’m wearing my Innocent World kittycat dress and a new Alice and Pirates bonnet from Laforet. I bought it because a) rich purple is among my favorite colors; b) I can fold up the bonnet and carry it in my purse.
Comte de Sang’s blue contacts and blue-streaked half-wig paid tribute to Mana’s signature colors. (If you don’t know what I’m talking about, check out this post.)
Yukiro Dravarious found this two-piece disco bodysuit in a Machida vintage store. A perfect fit, silver with slits… it must have been a gift from outer space! And how groovy is his pink neon scar?
Nana joined us in time for a run to the convenience store Lawson. On this sweltering day, we wisely stocked up on beverages (alcoholic ones, obviously). A quick bull ride and it was off to the concert venue…
Next, I’ll post photos of Mana cosplayers, Lolitas at the show, and a video of the performances. Have you ever seen Moi dix Mois live?

VIDEO OF SISEN, CHIHIRO & FRIENDS: HARDCORE GABBER EBM INDUSTRIAL DJ SETS AT TOKYO GOTH PARTY, ALAMODE NIGHT JAPAN.
Thanks for your sweet words about my new Innocent World dress! Here’s a close-up on the kitty print. I’m still shocked that I got a JSK from one of the finest and most expensive Lolita brands for under $100.
You’ve seen my photos from Tokyo all-night Gothic parties… but what on Earth do they sound like? In this new video, I take you inside Alamode Night at Club Crawl Shibuya on July 17, 2009. The performers were: DJ Kanon, Tetra, DJ SISEN, Takuya Angel, Chihiro, Caesar. Hear the hardcore EBM industrial gabber sets for yourself!
The reader consensus is that DJ Kanon’s style ROCKS. She may not wear Lolita purses and shoes in a traditional way, but her back tattoo says it all: “Hardcore for Life.”
The point of fashion – especially Japanese alternative street fashion – is to have fun, isn’t it? Everyone at Alamode Night certainly is! (More photos of the club fashion in this post.)
What do you think of the nightclub’s music and energy; was it what you expected? Who is your favorite DJ? You can see more nightcrawling in my Tokyo Goth Club Guide.
