SEBA’S BAND DNR, DREAMS NOT REALITY, OPENING FOR VERSAILLES IN ITALY! VISUAL KEI JROCK BAND, EUROPE TOUR.
As promised, we have groundbreaking news… Versailles, the Visual Kei legends, are embarking on a short Europe tour in early June. And guess who’s opening for the Italian concert?
Seba’s band DNR — Dreams Not Reality! They will be performing before Versailles on June 4th in Salerno (Area Mercatale, Cava de Tirreni, Italy). What an incredible honor to be chosen out of all the bands that applied for the opening spot.
If you’re in the area, I hope you’ll come to see Seba play keyboards live. He will also be translating for the Japanese band members. The other Versailles tour dates are June 1st (L’Autre Canal, Nancy, France) and June 3rd (Uppsala Konsert och Kongress, Uppsala, Sweden).
Seba and I have insane travel schedules, as I’m sure you’re aware. We’re currently in Hong Kong; you can follow our updates about mod fashion and panda theme restaurants on my Twitter (please follow).
Next, Seba will be in Tokyo for a few days. He’s a special guest at New Lex Tokyo’s 4th Anniversary party, the evening of May 28th. You’re welcome to celebrate with him at the Roppongi club; full info here.
Did you faint when you heard DNR will be opening for Versailles? Is there anything you’d like to ask Hizaki, Kamijo and the other members? Maybe Seba can share stories about hanging with the Jrock giants!

Japan fetish club, hook suspension & extreme body modifications: Club Idea in Kobe.
UPDATE – see the full guide to visiting Gothic & Fetish Bar Idea here!
My friend John Skeleton submits this photo of Idea, a Kobe subcultures and fetish bar, where hook suspension and play piercings take place. He writes:
IDEA is a dark sanctuary created by Japanese kinbaku artist Midori, located in the beautiful city of Kobe, Japan. No stranger to the world of the occult, Midori holds special “Sabbats” for each of the eight festivals on the Neopagan Wheel of the Year. On such nights, ladies may enter free of charge, and the eve is filled with decadent rituals and nameless rites.
The darkened space sees a full range of guests, from the curious spectators to the hardened connoisseurs, representing all ranges of the social spectrum — an atmosphere reminiscent of a fin-de-siècle London salon.
