One of the first stop-off points for those seeking non-mainstream event action in Tokyo is CD Gold. It’s an import CD emporium specializing in the kinds of music you won’t find in most shops (not classical right) - punk, Goth, new wave, indy rock, metal, industrial, hard core. It’s also got a flyer area where [...]
to get some proper rest, sleep a lot, eat properly and take a cigarette holiday. Okay, I say, fine, I understand. This is important to my health. But what about the weekends? No, two weeks of nada.
Dammit. Rest and eating are two things I do well, but life without nicotine is going to drive me [...]

The Soul Eater devours the young
So it can live ever more
One life sustained by the blood of many
Bodies cast upon the rotten floor.
The Soul Eater infects my dreams
Sucking the marrow of life from me
To walk the day after the night
Soul eater will never let me be free.
The cries the screams from the other side
To the [...]
Damn I love the look of Blood! Looks like a medical-inspired event with something like cute medicine. Blah, I can’t read anyway. You got some fantastic costumes and heavy sounds from Blood, a dash of Lezist, more visual splash with Tokyo Michael, a group called Burst, and a couple of others in for the mix.
You [...]
Little realizing how lazy I am, it’s taken me quite a while to start putting some links up on the site. Guess I’m somewhere between zero and twenty and there’s the lightest glaze of downloads too.
To see the links jump to the linx page. If you really need to see the rather small downloads (although [...]
Well, I received an e-mail from the Auto-Mod a while ago informing me of this cool event. I mistook it for “Battle of the Bands,” when it was Bands with Battles (so I can’t read Japanese okay!). So, dressed in ever-suitable black, I headed off to see what it was all about.
The event was at [...]
Master Goth, Genet, will be playing on Saturday at Chop in Ikebukuro. Looks like some kind of battle of the bands type deal, but the description sounds like the battle may be a little more literal than most. Not sure, but Igor’s thinking he’ll trot off to that and see if he can squeeze in, [...]
I can’t believe I have done this. It was a shameless act of wanton online self-degredation. I can barely bring myself to say it, but it is Igor’s confessional post after all. It is not that I am a Goth pretender - you may have already guessed this. It is not that I am not [...]
Wow, Japanzine’s picks are up (Check here) and there’s no mention of JGoth.com anywhere. Well, that does it, I’m gonna set some goals. I’m gonna make it and the first goal is….
Get JP Goth in the freaking Japanzine Best of the Web next year. Damnit, I know I’m not pretty, I know JP is sporadic, [...]
Okay, I went through a nyotai mori stage, where every second new visitor was searching for naked sushi stuff. Basicly, I found an interesting article from one of the shukan weeklies where a reporter intrepidly went off to explore this localized ummm… delicacy. Hey, my sushi comes on ceramic bud!
I guess it sounds kind of [...]
