TFR is over. But check out TFR's owner new project for this year
Willa 2010
www.willapolis.blogspot.com


WILLA is the new thematic party run by Gallermic, the creator of TFR and Narziß, two regular events that grew into an unparalleled mediatic tour de force inside of the world of fashion and art, due to an exuberant visual and intellectual attack against mainstream culture in the Japanese society and in the globalized world. Taking into account this background, Willa is the ultimate sophisticated scenario to present Gallermic’s authentic reflections about life, the world, the human being, the good and the evil, the culture, the art scene, and most of all an excuse to show Galle’s exuberant ability to love. The objective of the party is to generate love and communication through a universal symbolism that reaches everybody’s heart. As Galle declares: “Willa is a party for the good flowers”.

日本語\\\\WILLA は、ファッションとアートの世界に偉大な功績を残した二つのパーティー、TFRとNarzißの創設者、Gallermicによる新しいパーティーである。日本社会とグローバライズ化された世界の主流のカルチャーに対する、圧倒的な視覚体験と知性による反撃を意図して開催されて来た。こうした背景を鑑み、WILLAは、Gallermicにとっての日常、世界、人類、善と悪、カルチャー、アートシーン、そしてとりわけGalleの愛についての表象を、究極に洗練された物語として送り届ける。このパーティーの目的は、すべての人々の心に届く普遍的な象徴を通して、愛とコミュニケーションを慈しみ、育むことにある。Galleの言葉を借りれば、「WILLAは善き花々へのパーティーである」。

Ciao For Now. And Deep Throat To You All!

12/12 Next Narziß is The Last Narziß 12/12
↓↓↓Ciao For Now. And Deep Throat To You All!↓↓↓

~> Dec 12 (fri) 10P Narziß Celebrating *Ciao For Now. And Deep Throat to You All!* at Trump Room, Shibuya.

Next Narziß is the last Narziß, our last party: an erotic fantastic farewell. We are saying bye-bye after 21 parties: it's like the magical 7 x 3, the number of the perfection by excellence and of the individuality according to the numerology. For us is inhuman and perfect: like a triangle. For how extraordinary have We been all this time, after all... It’s arousing: Ciao for now. And deep throat to you all!

P.s. We don't want to be uncouth (but we want to be called uncouth), BUT this is the last party, the last photos, and the last chance to represent your groovy self... and there is NO turning back!

↓↓↓TFR in DAZED&CONFUSED JAPAN↓↓↓
インタービュー日本語
Interview in Enlgish:
DAZED: Could you tell me about the party that you are organizing right now? (The name of the party / When did you start having it? / How often are you having it? Etc… Give me the details!)
TFR: The name of the party is NarziB. Basically, NarziB is held every other week at Tokyo's most stylish spaces. We started the party from March 8th 2008.

DAZED: After establishing the party "TFR", you started having another party called "NarziB", what are the conceptual differences between those two? Also, what are the unite concepts?
TFR: TFR is a web magazine critiquing fashion, art and club culture in Tokyo. What differentiates TFR from other media is that we clarify our position and criteria on the issues we cover. The party we organized under the name of TFR was supposed to be the manifestation of our opinion. Therefore, we attempted to represent it through our fashion, the title of each party, flyer and everything. Basically, the concept of TFR parties were rather political and aggressive (ex. anti-globalization). We believe that TFR is something like a visual guerrilla trying to attack the mainstream culture. On the other hand, NarziB is a side project of TFR. Compared with TFR, NarziB doesn't necessarily intend to represent an opinion. It is merely for fun and networking. To us, there seemed like in Tokyo the so-called "community" is virtually non-existent. We want NarziB to be a cultural community for beautiful and individual people. We don't play loud music in NarziB. We want our guests to talk and know each other. NarziB is not fashion-oriented. A wide variety of people with different background are welcomed. As a matter of fact, our guests range from cultural figures like a film actor and an art curator to bohemian homeless. At the same time, NarziB is devoted to beauty. We have dress code for each party and the poor-dressed will not be admitted.



DAZED: Who writes the manifest for the parties?
TFR: Gallermic Mabuse

DAZED: How do you select DJs? Do you have a guideline for it?
TFR: We think there is a ridiculous overvaluation of the DJ nowadays. Specially in Tokyo, the Dj culture has reach the limit of idolatry, to become a Dj is the last burst of the ambition of the club kids. But why? It is like for Japanese there wouldnt be other way to be a star. And we consider that Dj ambition a misery of personality, lack of talent, and the worst tragedy of the parties along with Rave. Therefore, We are not music oriented. We want our visitors to get excited by interaction with beautiful people, to create community, icons and gossips. We rather select our guest Dj's by their cultural background and their beauty, and we called them the oldfashioned way: "selectors". Sometimes we dont even know who is gonna dj next party, we just improvised. Nevertheless, our music selection is rich. A wide range of classical, jazz, gypsy, global grooves, house, auld lang syne and cinephiliac music.

DAZED:What was the start of taking party snaps?
TFR: Just recording our memories.

DAZED: What/which kind of moment would you like to capture when you take photos?
TFR: Whenever as long as the subject is beautiful.

DAZED: What do you think about Tokyo party scene? How do you like to be placed in?
TFR: We don't really know what kind of parties are going on in Tokyo. We don't want to take ourselves within the context of Tokyo or anywhere on the earth. We prefer being regarded as a metaphysical concept without being restricted by biased idea, the name of a city or a country would possibly give.

DAZED: Could you tell me about the fashion style of the TFR guests? Do you have a special dress code?
TFR: Dress code = Individuality. Nothing is more important.



DAZED: Tell me about the concept of the exhibition you had this year, "POST NO FUTURE" at hiromiyoshii gallery.
TFR: Fashion is hentai. We can not help the association between something as superficial and hedonistic as fashion and the mere sexual pleasure full stop. Therefore, for us, a fashion personae who is not a hentai, it is an impostor, a traitor, an alienated puritan in disguise following trends who might just finish his days without a notion of personal style nor fashion itself. Fashion can be zoophiliac, necrophiliac, paediophiliac, dendrophiliac...all the paraphilias. And this can sound as obscene as fascinating, but most of all we are just trying to give an idea of the precariety of fashion these days. We spread fashion in all senses, and are here only to encourage creativity in personal hentalism.

DAZED: Do you have any plans to start up a new project?
TFR: Travel report by TFR's half Naokoula who is in a world round trip right now. And UBUROI, a fashion label for people who likes concepts like NarziB.

Thanks Dazed&Confused

TFR's half Naokoula is in the middle of the world-round trip. She started writing about her experience on TFR...

english\\\\What is recorded here is not necessarily our experience. It can be an absolute fiction all made up in our head, or as a matter of possibility, something we MIGHT have experienced, or perhaps something we DID experience but in some other place or time. We have two kinds of journeys at the same time: the outward and inward. Our outward journey is governed by the clock and the budget, but inward one ignores the boundaries of place and time. The journey is not linear.It is always back and forth. And it is what we want to record, leaving us free from the time and the physical distance. Here, we deny the calender. We deny the map...

japanese\\\\ここに書かれていることは、私たちが実際に体験した出来事かもしれないし、もしかしたらすべて私たちの頭の中だけで作り上げられた完全なフィクションかもしれない。もしくは、可能性の問題で、体験しなかったけれども、体験した「かも」しれない出来事、また、私たちが体験したことだけれど、どこか違う場所で違う時間に体験した出来事かもしれない。私たちは、同時に２種類の旅をしている。身体的な旅が１つ。もう一つは精神的な旅。そしてその旅は、直線じゃない。そういう形の旅は、いつも行ったり来たりを繰り返す。そんな時間軸や物理的な距離に捉われない旅を私たちは記録したいと思っている。私たちは、カレンダーを否定する。私たちは、地図を否定する...

español\\\\Lo que grabamos aqui no es necesariamente nuestra experiencia. Puede ser una ficcion absoluta completamente inventada en nuestra cabeza, o una cuestion de posibilidad, algo que PUDO habernos pasado, o tal vez algo que SI experimentamos pero en algun otro tiempo o espacio. Nosotros tenemos dos tipos de viaje al mismo tiempo: exterior e interior. Nuestro viaje exterior esta gobernado por el reloj y el presupuesto, pero el interior ignora los limites del tiempo y el lugar. El viaje no es lineal. Es siempre de ida y vuelta. Y es lo que queremos grabar, dejandonos libres del tiempo y de la distancia fisica. Aqi, nosotros negamos el calendario. Nosotros negamos el mapa... (To read more, scroll down)

english\\\\ Apart from the off-upon sadomasochistic clothing, what else has been done in order to represent the fetishism of human beings or, going beyond, the universe of sexual deviations? [CHECK OUT OUR EXHIBITION ABOUT PARAPHILIAS, CLIC IMAGE]

日本語\\\\フェティシズム、更に言えば、性的倒錯の世界を表現するのに、黒いレザー、ブーツやボンテージのようなありきたりのSMファッションの他に、一体何がされてきただろう。[イメージをクリックして]

↓↓↓JAPANESE DON'T USE THEIR FREEDOM↓↓↓
日本語\\\\自由を使っていない日本人。なにも、地球のどこかに、完璧な世界があると信じてるわけじゃない。だけど、もしも、その「完璧な世界」に近いものがあるとしたら、僕らにとってそれは「サブカルチャー」ということになる。つまり、インディペンデントで、アングラで、自由奔放で、独自の哲学を持つコミュニティ。そこでは、僕らにとっての「完璧」に近いものや探していたタイプの人間を見つけることが出来る。だけど、残念なことに、日本社会の最大の弱点に僕らが直面してしまうのもまた、このサブカルチャーの中なんだ。[イメージをクリックして]

english\\\\JAPANESE DON'T USE THEIR FREEDOM. It's not that we believe that a perfect place exists on the Earth. But if there is something close to it, it is the subculture -the space where we can find that and those who we are looking for-, or specifically that type of independent, free, countercultural, philosophic and bold community. Lamentably, it is in this sense of subculture /community where we bump into the weakest and most demoralizing point of Japanese society.

español\\\\LOS JAPONESES NO USAN SU LIBERTAD. No es que creamos que exista un lugar perfecto sobre la Tierra. Pero si hay algo cercano a eso es la subcultura -el espacio donde podemos encontrar eso y a esos a quienes estamos buscando-, o específicamente aquel tipo de comunidad independiente, libre, contracultural, filosófica y atrevida. Lamentablemente, es en este sentido de subcultura/comunidad donde nos topamos con el punto más débil y desmoralizador de la sociedad japonesa.

Location: Tokyo, Japan

we are a space of FREEDOM, FRESHNESS and ESCAPISM. from this perspective, we are one of the very FEW ORIGINAL MEDIA -and definitely the one that has the MOST TENACIOUS and CRITICAL OPINION- related to the 'WORLD OF FASHION'. yes, world we belong to, but also world we find abhorrent because it's representing the most visible side of the pseudo-well-being [CONSUMERISM], that behind glamourous SMOKE SCREENS [generally starred by 'MODELS' and 'POP STARS'], and making use of the so-called 'TRENDS', spreads the most recalcitrant STEREOTYPES of CAPITALISM and its just-apparent GLOBALIZATION... at THEFASHIONRAMONE [a.k.a TFR] you will find, then, the best alternative in fashion design and counterculture!!!!!

Orange Wig

English Version at the Bottom. Versión en Español Aquí

ボクは長い間たくさんのことについて書いている。いや、そんなにたくさんではない・・・まぁよく書いている。でも、自分のことについてはかなり長い間書いていない。ボクは分からない・・・もしボクの物語をたくさんの人に知られることによって、ボクの気持ちを変にさせて、深いにして複雑にさせ、キツクさせ、普通じゃなくさせられるかもしれないから・・・・。でも、このおかしなボクの物語がボク自身を何かの形役に立ってくれることを願う・・・

ほぼ一ヶ月の間、かろうじてアルゼンチン人と日本人の二人の男の子と住んでいた。なぜかろうじてかというと・・・ボクはお金も仕事も持っていなくて自分を何も続けさせるものがなかったから。自分を支えているのははただパーティと自分のブログだけなんだ。

だかららボクは完全に幸せ者で野心家で・・・何かになったんだ。。。

[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[

ボクはインターネットをつないでいなかった。さっきの幸せという言葉の中にこのことは入っていない・・・仕事がないのは本当に高くつくからだ。今日なんか、一時間インターネットをしただけで1500円もかかった。。。そしてこの週末でかろうじてあったお金がすべて出ていった・・・たぶんボクは食費とインターネットのチケット代で5000円は持っていたと思う。だけどこれ以上家族にりお金は借りたくないと思っている。このことはボクの気持ちをすごく悪くさせるからね。

ボクは泥棒になってしまった。でもボク自身をかき立て続けるための情報を盗むことは気分を悪くさせないし、罪も感じない。
ボクは一番かっこいいと思った雑誌を盗んだ。そして映画も、そしてボクはすでにいくつかのクラシックミュージックももっている・・・でも今テレビもDVDもVCRも持っていないから見れなかった・・・。

そこでボクは引越しをすることに決めた。引越し先は結構安くてすべての場所から近くて、インターネットもできるんだ！でもいくつか本当にボクにとって不利な条件もあるんだけど・・・まぁ気にしないよ。ボクにとって重要なのはこれら（安くて近くてインターネット）のことが得られたってことだからね！

ボクも実は働いている。でも今日、まだ三回目にもかかわらず休んでしまった。。。。この仕事が大嫌い。ボクは料理を作り、それをあらかじめ皿に盛り付けておく。なぜかって・・・ファーストフードだから。。。そう考えるとちょっとぞっとするが、それがテーブルの前にでるととてもよくみえるんだ・・・。

それにボクは週５回の８時間労働で契約したのに彼らはその半分しか入れてくれなかった。そうゆうわけで今日さぼったんだ。これ以上いる理由もないしね。他のバイトを探したいよ・・・。

ボクは切符を買って改札機を通るのが嫌いなんだ・・・最初は冗談半分でタダのりをしていたんだ・・・東京の改札はすごい人だから改札を人ごみに紛れてそのまま通りすぎちゃえばいいんだ。でもあの日はさすがにビビッたよ！でもこれは意図的にやったんじゃなくて事故だったんだ。。。改札を通る時、僕の後ろに女の子がいたんだ。そして僕は間違えてその女の子の定期を取ってしまった。そう、その時はすごく混んでいたからわからなかったんだ。しばらくしてから自分のものではないと気がついたんだけど、なんとその定期14000円もする定期だったんだ！！！さすがに焦ったよ！！！かわいそうな女の子・・・。

バイトを探すことと家を探すことは、もしあなたがお金のない権力者だとしたときよりもはるかに恐ろしいんだ。

時間は刻々と過ぎ去っているそして突然あなたは今いる場所を過ぎ去らなくてはならなくなり、自分の居場所はわからなくなるんだ。そしてそこには誰も知り合いがいない。ボクは友情がいつ芽生えるかわからない。みんなボクのことを愛してくれる。でも彼らはまだ本当の友達ではない。ボクの本当の友達はサラだと思っている。彼女は本当に美しくて、ボクのことを気にかけてくれて、助けてくれる。でもボクはサラに面倒をかけさせたくない、なぜなら彼女にはボーイフレンドがいからね。だからちょっとペルーに帰ることも考えていたんだ。でもボクにはわかってるんだ。故郷に帰ったら、一ヶ月もたたないうちに東京が恋しくなるだろうってね。

[ たった今ボクは傷口に紙を引っかいてみた。でも血はでなかったよ。きっとボクという人はオレンジウィッグから出来ているからなんだろうね。。。 ]

Orange Wig\\\\English
.
i-ve been writing about many things for quite a while, i mean, not so many things ... but i haven-t written about me for quite long ago... I don-t know if to confess that i-m feeling strange, rotten, complicated, heavy, anormal... even too asexual some times (i haven-t fucked for more than 1 month) and ridiculous is going to help me someway...

all this month, i-ve been living in the house of two guys that i barely know, one japanese and one argentinian... i have no money, no job that keeps me up, i only have parties and one blog wich is giving me a support that i could not imagine.

then i-ve become virtually happy, virtually desireble, virtually something...

[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[

...i don-t have internet, in other words my virtual happiness is not within my reach or works out really expensive... like today that i was uploading my new post and it took me hours and it all costed me 1500 yen!

and i barely have money to get out this weekend, i think i-m just counting with 5000 yen, with that i have to eat... and the tickets, the internet, the weekend... i don-t want to borrow money to my folks anymore, that makes me feel so bad knowing full well that they are going back and are saving to spend some good time over there.

i-ve become a thief. i don-t feel unworthy or guilty of nothing when it is about to steal information to keep me stoked. i steal magazines -the best ones. i steal movies, and i already have some classics -though by now i neither have tv nor vcr nor dvd player available. i-ll start over once i moved to my new room, it will be very cheap and near everything, and will have internet!, though it has some clear disadvantages... i don-t care, the point is that it-s got it...

what i don-t like is to find me passing the tickets at the station. at the beggining i twas kind of fun, but today for example i took a ticket from a misses who was right behind of me. to simulate i put my hand on the hole where the tickets go out, and with no intention i catched hers (because i obviously didn-t passed any)... when i could tell it was a 14 000 something yen ticket, poor misses

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

... i am also working, but i missed my job today and it was only my third day. i hate to work! i have to cook practicly precooked dishes because it is a fast food. it-s a bit gross to cook the food but it looks good on the table. i think i would be agree if at least i worked 5 days per week and 8 hours, but this sporadic part time will scarcely give me to pay the half of my rent... that-s why i missed today, cause i know it-s worth to nothing holding on it... i keep on looking for other...

it-s horrible to look for a job, to look for a house, worse if you do not dominate the japanese and have no money... the time runs so fast, and suddenly you gotta leave and you don-t know where. and you can not count on anybody... i don-t know when the relationships became so complicated, everyone loves me but they are not my friends. i just could think about sarah, she is so beautiful and seems she really cares for me and she has offered to help me... but i just don-t want to bother her cause she has a boyfriend and they probably fuck everyother minute... i-ve been thinking about coming back to Peru. but i know that in one month i-m going to miss Tokyo

right now i-m a scratched paper, with holes and wounds - but without blood... the only thing alive from me is the orange wig
