Here is a nice Gothy event towards the end of the month. This overnight event is a showcase of artists from the Darkest Labyrinth label created by Blood and GPKISM guitarist Kiwamu. The night features six bands including GPKISM, Seileen, Vanished Empire and BLAMHONEY. It will also be populated by hot underground DJs Takuya Angel, Chihiro and Sisen. In terms of caliber of the artists this event would approach the levels of Tokyo Dark Castle, although the ambiance would tend to be a little softer than TDC in Igor’s opinion. Considering the rapid rise of Darkest Labyrinth and its high production values, the label’s events will become an important part of the Gothic landscape of Japan in the near future. Overall, this is definitely an event worth staking out.

As with all overnight events it is important (i.e. absolutely VITAL!) to bring a photo ID with you for entry. Basically, without ID you will not be able to get into the club – which will make for a pretty dreary time!

Ah, the heady mix of Alamode nights! This event features GPKISM, a mix of classical and industrial Goth music with ax-work from former Blood member Kiwamu. They will be joined by the violin/vocal duo of Rose Noire and femme-screamo electro band Toxic Strawberry along with other acts for an evening of Japan Gothic style. This is a bit beyond my limited scope on the Goth events – I tend to be focused on the Tokyo Dark Castle scene – but it looks quite a tasty event for local Gothers. Also included are fashion shows and exhibitions for those looking for the Gothic look in Tokyo. The event starts early @ 4:30, finishing around 10 p.m. so you can get your fix and still be able to face the return to normality on Monday.
