SAYONARA TOKYO: EGL GOTHIC LOLITA STORE FLYERS, VISUAL KEI CONCERT POSTERS.

Gothic Lolita Japanese designer flyers. Gosurori Bible, Miho Matsuda, Alamode Market advertisements, Alice and the Pirates logo.

Phew – I don’t think I’ve stopped to breathe in the last two months. Alas, my writing workload is looming and I must say sayonara to Tokyo… for now. I’ll be back soon, there’s no doubt!

I accumulated a million flyers during my stay, and they’re a pretty good visual snapshot of the current Gothic Lolita / J-Goth / Visual Kei scene. Above, you can see bits and pieces from the Marui Individual Fashion Expo, Alamode Market, and various Japanese Lolita fashion brands.

Marui Fashion Expo flyers and posters. Artherapie, Listen Flavor, Tokyo Alice, Kera, Sexy Dynamite London, Hypercore and other lolita punk goth brands in Tokyo.

Most of these handouts came with the Marui fashion show gift bag. I included cards and tags from Listen Flavor, Artherapie, Angelic Pretty, Sex Pot Revenge, Atelier Pierrot, Algonquins, and Sexy Dynamite London.

Laverite, Jimi Blumer or Eleclutier Visual Kei poster. Urawa Narciss concert flyers and tickets. Visual Kei j-rock stage makeup, band outfits.

I saw Jimi (aka Man Heaven) perform twice with his band Laverite at Urawa Narciss. Here are some of the other Visual Kei band posters that I picked up at his concerts. There’s a memento from the Becca showcase on the left.

Visual kei band flyers, J-rock and pop bands. Host hair, hot j-pop rockstars, Japanese boy singers. Tokyo concerts.

Ah, I will miss J-rock hair and disappearing noses!

Tokyo Decadance party event posters. Midnight Mess, Club Cemetery, Tokyo Dark Castle, Theatric Alamode night flyers from Japanese goth club nights.

I went to Gothic club nights up to three times a week, and was hugely inspired by the music and fashion. You may recall my reports from Tokyo Decadance, Midnight Mess, Alamode Night, Tokyo Dark Castle and more.

So what’s next for the blog? I’ve only posted a fraction of my store photos, so you can look forward to inside peeks at Closet Child, Milk, Sexy Dynamite London, Sex Pot Revenge, and more (which I’ll tie into a Lolita shopping and nightlife guide). I’ll be going on a DIY clothing binge: parasols, anyone? Finally, I’ll be in Los Angeles in early December… massive adventures are in the works, I promise!

    I got some fliers when I went to Laforet a month ago too! (In fact, I got some of the fliers you got too XD)
    Tokyo had so much to offer and I only had 4 days! You're so lucky you got a longer time. I have yet to go back there again.
    I hope you had a nice time there (And from what you've been saying I'm sure you did ^o^).
    BTW, I love your collection, Too kool ;D

    Laforet was one of my favorite places to shop. I am definitely in love with Tokyo – there are art/cultural/Gothic events every weekend, and it's a lovely place to live… ^__^
