VIDEO: CANDY SPOOKY THEATER LIVE HALLOWEEN CONCERT, TRICK OR TREAT, TOKYO JAPAN. VISUAL KEI HORROR BAND.

Posted by La Carmina on November 8, 2010

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!

I love how in Japan, everything is seasonally themed to the max. I ate so much kabocha (Japanese pumpkin) around Halloween that my mother was genuinely concerned I’d turn orange!

Here I am with my adored pumpkin pizza — only 200 yen from Sunpierrot. Yukiro and I were devastated when the Japanese bakery stopped offering our favorite snack. Thankfully, it’s come back as “Halloween pizza”.

Naomi convinced the Norway TV crew to pick up Halloween-themed breads and cakes for lunch. The cute ghost has cheesy custard inside; the pumpkin face is filled with anpan (red bean paste).

What other kabocha (Japanese pumpkin) delights did we devour? At the convenience store, we found Häagen-Dazs pumpkin ice cream with a jam swirl. G-suS tried the kabocha pizza for the first time and loved it.

Pasela Karaoke had a special Halloween menu. (Remember when we filmed karaoke singing for Dutch Pepsi TV?)

The offerings included a witch cocktail, kabocha pizza, and this ridiculous “toast cake” with an ice cream and candy witch.

If we hadn’t walked all over Tokyo for the Norway TV shoot, I’d have gained so much weight!

The restaurants in Lumine East Shinjuku offered kabocha pasta, among other goodies.

Godiva sold witchy boxes of chocolates. The restaurants near Meguro station had specials; there was a long lineup for the Halloween sushi.

Behold, my other love: yuzu (a small Japanese citrus)! I had a strong yuzu cocktail and kabocha appetizer at the new Samurai theme restaurant. (Video and photos from this restaurant coming up.)
