Arisue Go in club Shangri La, Tokyo, Japan

When I write this we are halfway into our second day in Japan. On our first day having skipped one night of sleep, absolutely and totally exhausted we decided it would be best to not give in to being tired and went to see a show of Arisue Go in club Shangri La. The trains and subway are relatively easy to use, actually finding the right exit of a station is another challenge. But none of this compares to finding an address in Japan… Eventually we got picked up by someone from the club… stupid gaijin must have been their primary thoughts 🙂

Before the show we met with Arisue and “his gang”, exchanged some mandatory pleasantries and we took our seats to watch his show (actually 4 shows, lasting a total of about an hour, if not more). After his show the club turned into a “shibari wild west”, guest were offered the chance to get tied up, visitors could tie up visitors, etc. Very funny to see this happening.

Before the shibari wild west started Arisue invited us to show him “our thing” and, after some discussion with Chantal (remember we were VERY tired) we passed the “DJ” our CD and did some bondage on stage… our first show in Japan.
