WIZARD OF THE OPERA TOKYO THEME RESTAURANT, WEIRD PHANTOM-THEMED DINING IN JAPAN.

Be careful what you wish for… You wanted more Tokyo fashion and pop culture videos? You got em – and there’s a queue of YouTube silliness to be posted!

Two hours after landing in Tokyo, an undead Victorian Lolita doll (La Carmina) and her fellow spooks take over Wizard of the Opera, a Phantom-themed restaurant in Ikebukuro.

Descend into the catacombs to hear incongruous Disney songs! Prance around in the gilded bathrooms! Marvel at the Repo! the Genetic Opera posters! Pace the deserted streets of Harajuku to dance all night at Tokyo Decadance!

Wizard or Phantom of the Opera theme restaurant in Ikebukuro, Tokyo Japan. Repo! the Genetic Opera bar, crazy Japanese, wild weird themed dining and J-Goths, drag outfits.

You’ll see much more Tokyo dining madness in my book, Crazy Wacky Theme Restaurants (Mark Batty, July 2009). Look out for the ghoulish characters above in the restaurant photos!

Intrigued by Tokyo’s bizarre theme cafes? Keep checking this blog and my YouTube channel for updates. Tomorrow: Tokyo Decadance photos!

    Ahh The Repo! Theme restaurant I had been waiting since you mentioned it. Now I have wait for your book! Your dress and hair-ware was amazing, I think I wound up liking that better than the restaurant lol. I'm still excited about the premise of the theme restaurant but I guess I'd have to see some the waiters/waitresses. BTW Yukiro looks amazing

          Hahah even in Shinjuku, my friends and I get stares! It’s kind of ironic that the hosts, with their shiny suits and mile-high hair, are the ones who throw dirty looks. :D
