Miina

Though “dollers” have been around for years, only now is a pretty, friendly girl happy to talk about her lifestyle in this extreme cosplay subgenre. Metropolis caught up with Miina at her first exhibition.

Agenda

Lean, muscled Taketeru Kudo, one of the most noted butoh performers, joins with experimental bassist Pearl Alexander, and sonic adventurer Toshimaru Nakamura. This and other far-out frolics in the agenda.

Jamie Paquin

Didn't know that Canada produces world class wine? Then head over to Ebisu where wine importer Jamie Paquin has opened Heavenly Vines, the only specialist Canadian wine shop in the world—outside of Canada.

Saiko Vol 10

Straight from the pages of Metropolis to your eyes and ears, Saiko showcases Tokyo’s coolest bands and performing artists. Vol.10 sees electro-pop trio Tokyo Pinsalocks bumping up against silent comedy team Gabez, and Moja pitting its full-throttle noise attack against the avant-garde blues of Samm Bennett. The Mootekkis like their rock straight up, while Africemo prefer it with a bottle of wine. Live art from Adam3 and tech-house turntablism from DJ Muthafunka round out the proceedings.

June 24, 4pm-10pm. Shibuya Milkyway.
