Casba, Tokyo nights: meeting Reiko and MAX

Karaoke Exit

Christophe, Franck and I are moving to Casba. Finding the entrance is a big challenge! Wow midnight, nobody yet: too early! Reiko, the boss, is calling, she’s in a cab, on her way:

– I am Tokyo.

Really confidential small bar, where instantly you feel good and beatiful! Only “regular” (from all over the world) know it. And tonight my new tomodachi (friends) are Nana (picture above) and Reina, two membres of the famous Jpop girls band, MAX:

 – We are the Japanese Spice Girls.

Reiko Agrees And Shows Me

her Hello Kitty and Keith Harring tatoos and talks about her last trip in Hawaii, her strict education and advertising studies. A creative who loves movies and nights:

– My life is nightlife. Since I was 18 years old, I’ve organised parties.

She explains after his first Dior collection, Hedi Slimane visit her. Balenciaga team booked the bar for a night, Sofia and Roman C. (Yes « lost in Translation » family)… Well almost “all” Paris, NY and LA come here. Reiko is a charming free character like her “baby” Casba, between Gloria (Cassavetes) and Warhol posters, fashion books, eclectic cds and pieces of chats interrupted by many laughs: campaï! Of course, at night everything is more beautiful!

Reina and Nana 

Reiko, Nana, Reina, Christophe and Franck: domo arigato gosaimasu to you guys!

Casba: Wakamatsu Building B1F 2-14-15, Tokyo, 150-0001, Higashi Shibuya-ku

Dragon-I, Hong Kong Baby!

Here the mood: one Dragon I‘s motto on barmen’s T-shirt. Allusion to the famous Hong Kong (baby!) club, I discovered with Roy Malig, considered as the god-father HK DJ and music consultant now (soon a post). The club is a bit pretentious, but can be nice when a youngster DJ plays good sound all night long… then thursday morning sucks! Big up to the HK night!
