新しいスタイル!

I have created a new image for myself for MAZO FxxKIN' PUNK project. I will start new this new year. I won't hide myself behind a dark mask forever, although I really love the dark style. I will continue to create my best Gothic and Visual Kei designs for you, however. From all of the artists I look up to the most, I want to show it. How do you like this new style?

Which means, once I can begin heavier advertising, I will be looking for models for NECROSARIUM!

The hat is what I got from KENZI (ANTI FEMINISM / THE DEAD POP STARS), it features his character Pipanku (ぴぱんくう)!
The choker is my first official design for MAZO xx PUNK.
My hair also has a red stripe in front, but it's hard to see with the hat~

NEW PROJECT - MAZO FxxKIN' PUNK

Over the past 3 years I have been working in the more elegant and dark Gothic, Lolita, and as much as I can, Visual Kei industry. Well, it's getting very hard on me. I have two extremes of personality. I have been able to show the more quiet, elegant side, dressing pretty, and more. But now I need to reveal more shock image. At least, shock image is what sparked my interest in this industry. So now, I have decided to open my project, MAZO FxxKIN' PUNK. This project is not necessarily a brand, but, I am starting as a drummer also, getting back into fighting, showing any cute style, illustrated art, and just expressing myself without the fear of a harsh public opinion. I think i'm ready. NECROSARIUM will continue the same. But I think I am very ready to take control of my life as the entertainer I have always been inspired to be almost 10 years ago. I'm no longer scared of a public opinion. I am very careful with my experimentation and act, even if i'm covered in blood, i'm very careful.

Life has been very difficult for the past year, if I didn't have people opening their home to me, I would be on the street. I have been unemployed for a year. So please have patience with me. NECROSARIUM has slowed down dramatically, and I can't put out like I need to. But I will catch up. I promise.

New Rosarium Bows

Since I have started bringing the original intention back to NECROSARIUM, with the ornate and elegant rose theme, I have been creating as much as I can! I am still working on more punk and masculine accessories when I can also. But I also know that I can create work like this, and you can only find this kind of work from NECROSARIUM.

There is only one each, as each bow is unique just like my Rosarium necklaces and eyepatches.

バラ悪魔が戻ってきた。

As NECROSARIUM has taken a long break from creating anything elegant, or rose-themed, it is in great need to return. It was NECROSARIUM's original intention. Although I am now starting work with others more on the side of modernized Visual Kei, I will do my best to keep this spirit alive as well. I have some new necklaces that can be worn as eyepatches, as well am in the process of creating hair pieces like bows and headbands as well! I have preview of the bows. Every item is unique and cannot be exactly replicated.

The Rose Demon has returned.

Basic Visual Kei Eye Makeup Tutorial

This is my first Visual Kei makeup tutorial, and I hope to do more! I know it's not the best to show the process, but it's a try~ This is the makeup style I do the most when I wear Visual Kei style! Only recently it's easier to apply thin eyeliner, the trick it to use a thin brush, my eyeliner tip is too hard to apply thin. I didn't do so much to the hair this time.
Ok! I hope it's a little helpful to you! ☆

メクチェッキ2014-09-02!

For this makeup, I only used eyeliner, smoky grey, black, and red eyeshadow, and eyelashes for the bottom. Lipstick is black and red with some drawn bottom spikes.

I will make a tutorial of how to do this makeup and more soon, there's some tricks I learned to get certain shapes, I know i've had lipstick troubles for the corners of my mouth for years, so in case you have the same problem, I can fix!

The lighting was bad and I used the iPhone for these photos, but the tutorials will be in better lighting and quality!




Getting Ready for Fashion Shows!

A while ago I confirmed co-hosting the fashion show in Wilmington, NC in December for Aniwave 2014, and am now in the process of confirming to be a part of the fashion show at PMX (Pacific Media Expo) in Los Angeles, CA! As I am almost retiring from wearing elegant fashions now, a new public appearance needs to be set in order for these shows! At least, something striking! Kote Kei has always been such an inspiration, it was how I got started in my fashion interests! Gothic Lolita has always been a huge love of mine also, but I think I can only do it for some photos. I think i'm too rough of a person to dress in EGL comfortably. Keeping Visual Kei alive is the goal for me, standing by until the end.

I am planning to do some makeup and hair tutorials soon, I feel I am getting better with the style to be able to show you all and give some tips!

In these photos I am wearing an eyepatch, headband, and necklace that I made for my brand NECROSARIUM! I will add studs to the eyepatch soon. The top is from Punk Rave I believe, it's been so long.

NECROSARIUM X Aniwave 2014

On December 7, 2014, NECROSARIUM will be collaborating with Aniwave for a Japanese street fashion show! I am very excited to attend this event as a fashion show host and am looking forward to meeting everyone! We have a great show for you all planned!

My comment video has recently been uploaded to Aniwave's official YouTube account! Please, check it out! It's my first ever comment video, and actually the first video I have made!

NECROSARIUM X Xenon Shop

For this past week, I celebrated my birthday in Los Angeles, CA! My birthday was on September 2. I took the train that day and rode for 10 hours to Los Angeles to meet up with a staff of Xenon to talk about selling NECROSARIUM in their store. Xenon is a Japanese rock and Shibuya style shop, official CURE shop, with merchandise from bands from Japan! This has got to be one of my favorite shops and everyone is so nice! I was surprised, I actually recognized the guy I met with from Anime Expo and VK Fest! He translated between me and Kenzi a bit for those events, haha! It was nice to meet him again! I met with some other friends there as well, they are like my family. I was so happy to meet them, and some for the first time in person! Well, they decided to give NECROSARIUM a try of selling from the shop! I am really so excited about it! I will hear a confirmation soon. It will be my first time selling my brand through a shop in the USA, and alongside other very respected brands! It's really an honor!

So, if you love NECROSARIUM and JRock, you can find my brand and other brands like Jury Black and more, as well as JRock merchandise and fashion, here at Xenon in the Little Tokyo mall in Los Angeles!! Please show them support and head on over! I can say from experience, it's a nice-priced shop also!

Getting Back Into Kote Kei Style

Kote Kei is one of my favorites, and noticing lately that so many Visual Kei bands are also losing the image, I want to keep it alive. Of course, image is not so important for music. But, as a fashion designer, I really want the Visual style to live! Kote Kei has already almost died 10 years ago. So, I wanted to try it again. It's been many years since an attempt. I think I am becoming better at hair and makeup, so I will revive it. Soon, I will buy many wigs, and will also try teal hair! ^o^

All accessories here are my NECROSARIUM brand. I made these two headbands, eyepatch, claws, choker, and wrist cuff. The shirt is Punk Rave I believe~
