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.

CUTE JAPANESE MAIDS AT AKIHABARA MAID CAFE, SCHOOL THEMED RESTAURANT IN TOKYO. FAMOUS COSPLAYER YUNMAO AYAKAWA.
Hello, disco darlings! I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed the French documentary about Japanese pop culture that I co-hosted. Toqué de Tokyo était fou, n’est-ce pas? Here are more photos from the shoot, this time from my personal collection. (For those who asked, I use a Canon Powershot S90 camera.)
Ghost jumper dress: Banana Fish (RIP to the brand)

Since I wrote a book about theme restaurants, we filmed one of the scenes at an Akihabara maid cafe, Cos-Cha. There are more photos from this schoolteacher-themed cosplay cafe in this post.
The French TV crew rented a velvet maid outfit for me to wear.
Knee high lace Lolita socks: Spider
Mary Jane Goth shoes: Yosuke, from EST in Osaka
I showed host Antoine de Caunes who is the master!
Yunmao Ayakawa, a famous cosplayer, taught us maid lessons such as the proper way to bow. We appeared together in Andrew Zimmern’s Bizarre Foods (remember these photos from the Travel Channel shoot?)
Antoine wore a maid headband and clowned around — I couldn’t stop laughing.
He doodled a cat friend for my Scottish Fold, Basil Farrow.
Quel horreur: instead of listening to the teacher, Antoine drew a naked lady. I gasped and told on him. “Maitresse, maitresse! Antoine, il fait des bêtises!”
We played the “janken” (rock-paper-scissors) game, where the winner got to add an ingredient to the glass. Antoine kept losing — so in went natto, raw egg, and seaweed.
This isn’t Bizarre Foods, so Antoine was reluctant to sip the drink. “Après vous.” “Oh non, après VOUS.” We weren’t able to chug the slosh, so as punishment, Antoine got slapped!
Filming a TV show is hectic but super-fun, especially if you’re working with the drole and dapper Antoine de Caunes! Keep your eyes peeled on my blog for more exclusive photos from the shoot.
Interested in the maid cafe boom? I wrote a book about Tokyo’s weirdest themed restaurants — come check it out.
