Destruct System & Morgue in Mechanical Slaves @ Motion TOKYO :: Sat. 13 January

[Power industrial and beyond] When I first saw the announcement for this event, I knew it was THE MOFO of the month! First, there is some pretty cool heavily mechanical-trance industrial from Ruin Close Reptile. Then there is Destruct System, which is one of the hottest industrial heavy-rock bands in the Tokyo scene. Finally there’s [...]

Tokyo Dark Castle #25 Club Edition @ Marz, Shinjuku TOKYO :: Sat. 6 January

[Gothic DJ Extreme] Just one week into the year and we already have a proper event going on! Good good. This is a very new permutation for TDC (aside from the early start) - there are no bands.
Definitely an event for Gothic clubbing (or bat caving or whatever), the night will feature the talents of [...]

Bits of guy turning up in Shibuya and Shinjuku

One of the more interesting little death-related stories is the ongoing discovery of body bits of one fellow in the Shinjuku and Shibuya areas. The initial discovery was about a week ago when someone found a man’s torso dumped in a street a few hundred meters away from Shinjuku station. Without the head, lower parts [...]

New Year Gothing :: Mess Doll in Tokyo and Black Veil in Osaka

Excuse the mess, I am still getting used to all the buttons and dials of the site since my return. This is the final scream for the new year events in Tokyo and Osaka. I was hoping someone had an idea in Nagoya, but after getting no reply on a BBS post I realized I [...]

VK Flash! VK Phantasmagoria bassist busted for tax evasion :: Goth Phantasmagoria is now The Royal Dead

This is about the Visual Kei band called Phantasmagoria, not the gothy romantics under Aci. DON’T MIX THEM UP! Also, Aci’s taken the wise decision of renaming the band “The Royal Dead,” which makes things a helluvalot less confusing.
Anyway, onto the VK group… According to Mainichi:
The Osaka Regional Taxation Bureau has taken action against the [...]

Psydoll, Musu Bore in 神経夢想亡骸使ぁE@ Urga TOKYO :: Tues. 26 December

[Dark Cybernetic Rock] LAST MINUTE ADDITION! The title means something like “Using the neural dreams of corpses,” but all you really need to know is that all your cybernetic base belong to Psydoll! People from the UK should know Psydoll quite well after their tours in 2005 and a bit earlier this year - check [...]

Mixi, Inc. (2121) :: Ass Hair Burger Stock Shock

It is the darling of the new business world with buzz, buzz and more freaking buzz throughout the news media. However, a shocking incident [...]
