For those who would like to be tied up by Arisue, you can enjoy it for 2,000yen (revised the fee from this month). First-apply, first enjoy system - you shouldn't hesitate to apply as soon as you arrive! The past 4 times Arisue didn't have enough time to tie everyone wished.

[Performers' Profile]
Rope Bondage
[Arisue Go]
Arisue Go is one of Japan's most famous, accomplished and prolific kinbakushi (rope-bondage artists), with a distinguished career that already spans three decades.
Arisue began his career as a kinbakushi in the 1970s. Since then he worked for well-known magazines such as SM Select and SM Fan. He also did the bondage for movies and produces his own bondage video label, Azabu Eiga.
He has done the bondage for softly erotic photos of famous mainstream actresses and even a female pro wrestler. He has produced many books on the history and art of Japanese bondage.
Arisue does bondage shows and workshops internationally as well as in Japan, and has a special interest in multimedia performances in cooperation with other artists, including dancers, manga artists and other performers.
Most recently, Arisue did the rope work and appeared in the mainstream movie series "Hana to Hebi 1-3"("Flower and Snake"), based on the SM novel by Dan Oniroku. This movie, and its sequel, has helped make Arisue Go a name recognized outside of SM circles.
Amid such varied bondage work, Arisue Go has one basic aim: to learn traditional techniques and apply them as he expandsthe boundaries of his own unique form of bondage. To date, he has performed more than 10,000 bondages.

[Kiyoshi Fujikawa]
Djembe [African drum] Performer, Ambient Music Performer, Composer,
Soundscape Designer
Born in 1958, Fujikawa studied drums with Motohiko HINO (1946-1999) for four years before moving to The United States of America in 1982 to study at the Berklee College of Music where he was introduced to electronic music. He returned to Japan and then moved to Bali, Indonesia in 1999 for two years where he was inspired by the djembe. These diverse music encounters allowed Fujikawa to pursue the potential of fusing music and sounds through real instruments and electronic music and through interactions with other artists and scientists. Concurrent to his performance activities, Fujikawa designed soundscapes and composed for television commercials, art displays, theatre, contemporary dance and promotional events both within Japan and overseas. He is known for his unique expressive style at performances and studio work.
Over the past few years, Fujikawa has continued his work internationally. In 2008, he performed in New York and London while in 2009, Fujikawa travelled to Berlin, China, Bali and Hawaii for events. Along with his solo projects, Fujikawa collaborates with various artist: “Fujin raijin” a duo with Kizan DAIYOSHI (shakuhachi); “DRTranceWerks” an experimental rock band with Dr Tomabechi; and “Dopalfin” a tribal ephemeral jam rock band.
Fujikawa moved to Berlin in 2011 to expand his musical vocabulary. Currently, he is active performing and promoting “HuguinuWa”, a duo re-interpreting ambient music.
