My first overnight stay at Tokyo Dark Castle for over a year was damned exciting. The crowd was a bit different from what I remember with only a few familiar faces, but they were pumped up and ready to scream. Japan’s Golden Week is usually a [...]

TOKYO DARK CASTLE EXTRA — While at Tokyo’s largest Gothic event (Report here), I managed to take a little video of Baal performing Wreckage on stage! This is still my favorite song from the band and just pumps the crowd as you will see. Unlike previous JGoth home videos this one is quiet enough that [...]

December 26 was a Monday and the icey rain was coming down hard. That didn’t stop me from heading out to the Neuromancer event featuring Psydoll (info) and Musu Bore, among others.
Turnout was expectedly light, but the bands were doing their thing on stage, the bar was open, and those who braved the sudden cold [...]
I haven’t got out much this year due to ongoing health issues (or unhealth issues - take your pick), but have seen a few interesting shows where I can, like the one at Design Festa in May. Design Festa is the biggest art festival in Asia (according to the PR), but I really wasn’t looking [...]
Urga Shinjuku (May 6, 2006) — Not being up for a whole night of Goth at Tokyo Dark Castle, I opted for the next best thing - Electrock Circus. The name pretty much sums up the event, electro, electronic, rock - sure its not Goth, but with a soundscape like that you will often find [...]
No written report (it freaking rocked!), but pictures from last month’s Murder TV event which celebrated the launch of Agent Murder’s new album Gizenrou. Bands appearing along with the murder boys were: 2 Bullet, Mamono, Aural Vampire, Destruct System. There are a total of 46 pictures for you to peruse at your leisure.
See Murder TV [...]
Tokyo Dark Castle #17 once more showed why it is the biggest event in the Japanese Goth scene with more hot bands than you can point a sharp pointy thing at and a large crowd to push things into overdrive. While the sadness of Isola’s passing was not forgotten, the celebration of life was supreme.
Crowd [...]

While the Gothic Lolitas had worked to suppress my urge to bounce and w00t in front of the stage, they could not stop me from having a good time!
Hauling ass to Club Cyber
Located a short walk from Ikebukuro station, Cyber stands out on the side street it is on; being the brightest lit spot there [...]

As I sit in an Internet cafe on the outskirts of Nagoya remembering Electrock from a couple of days earlier, I must say that I liked it. I liked it a lot.
