JGoth.com :: Japan's underground scene by Igor

About Me

NEW! CALMANDO QUAL VIDEO!
BAAL LIVE VIDEO!
** Sorry, JGoth.com is offline at the moment and so is Igor (usually). As soon as I get plugged back into the matrix I will start sorting out the mess! Cheers.I run a site dedicated to Japan's Goth and underground scenes, because I like the raw, industrial sound and the costumes. Check the place here: JGoth.com . It's done quick, dirty and nasty - which is the way I like it.
Why do I do this when there are plenty of popular Japan topics (ranging from techno-fetishes to cosplay-fetishes) that could prove financially beneficial? Simple. I hate the mainstream. The canned coffee tastes the same no matter the brand, Starbucks tastes like canned coffee with extra granules and cream. I feel like a prisoner of mass-consumerism. Japan's Goth scene is one place where art remains alive. While the normals peel through their new keitai catalogue I'm dreaming of the next Agent Murder gig. This scene needs the madman willing to grab anyone on the street and SCREAM AT THEM and SCREAM AT THEM and SCREAM AT THEM. And I will scream until I'm on the floor.
I am the cold, black, still-beating heart. I am the madman. I am here to pollute your mind.... and I think you will enjoy it.
I am Igor. I am JGoth.com .
