TFR

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!

~> 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 On The World-Round Trip↓↓↓
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...

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)

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.

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.

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!!!!!

Among the audience were Toga's designer Yasuko Furata, photographer duo Minori and Zoren, curator Kiki Kudo, editor Tiffany Godoy, jewelry designer Yoon, actress Maho, Dazed and Confused's Sakiko and Narziß's image Sono. TFR exhibition opens until the 29th of March. For more info, www.narzib-memorimento.blogspot.com/

POST NO FUTURE TFR exhibition@hiromiyoshii gallery


日本語\\\\POST NO FUTURE TFRの展示が、現在hiromiyoshiiギャラリーで開催されている。狭い出入口を一歩中に入ると、そこは世界のどこかに存在する薄汚いクラブの暗く欲望にまみれたトイレ。TFRは、点滅する蛍光灯の下で、洗練された写真、大胆なビデオと穢れた文章を展示し、「ヤリマンチンズ」によって表現された自分達の「性的倒錯」を誇示している。

TFRは、「ヤリマンチン」という造語を作った。新しい言葉だけれど、日本人であればおそらく意味は簡単に想像がつくだろうと思う。英語に訳すと、Horny Hermafroditeや、文字通り Playcuntcock といったような言葉が適当かもしれない。

僕たちTFRは、このヤリマンチンという異常に下品でセクシュアルな存在に、自分たちの別人格を投影している。大きな理由としては、僕たちはファッションのように空っぽで快楽的なものから、単純にセックスから得られる性的快感を連想せずにはいられないからで、だから、僕らにとっては、ヘンタイじゃないファッションをしている奴らは、トレンドを追っかけるだけで、個人的なスタイルやファッションそのものに考えを巡らすこともなく日々を過ごしているくせに、疎外されたピューリタンぶった偽物もしくは詐欺師、裏切り者にしか見えない。

「ファッションはヘンタイ」というアフォリズムによって、僕たちは、例えば「フェティシズム」という言葉から集合的無意識的に頭の中に浮かぶ陳腐なイメージを取り除くことも目的にしている。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。ファッションは、動物性愛、死体愛好、小児愛好、樹木性愛...あらゆる性的倒錯を表現する手段になりうる。魅力的であると同時に卑猥にも聞こえるかもしれないけれど、何よりも僕たちはただ、昨今のファッションの貧困さを訴えたいだけなのかもしれない。

ヤリマンチンズ(そう、複数系で)は、ファッションをあらゆる意味に拡張し、何よりも個人のヘンタイズムを推し進めるためだけに存在している。

english\\\\POST NO FUTURE TFR is currently throwing an exhibition at hiromiyoshii gallery. The narrow doorway will lead you to an obscure and lust-smeared toilet of a sordid nightclub, where TFR is showcasing exquisite photos, arrogant video and unclean writings for its PARAPHILIAS represented by YARIMANCHINZ under the blinking flourescent light.

TFR has created the Japanese term YARIMANCHIN. For the majority of Japanese this is a new word, however, they can get the sense of the word very easily. In English, YARIMANCHIN would be something like 'Horny Hermaphrodite', 'Trisexual' or literally 'Playcuntcock'.

It is in this freakishly vulgar sexual entity called YARIMANCHIN, that we, TFR have found our alter ego. The principal reason is that 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 [a sexual pervert], 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.

Following our aphorism that enacts that Fashion is Hentai, we are also trying to eliminate some recurrent ideas that pop up in the collective unconsciousness when one talks about for instance Fetishism. Apart from the off-upon sadomasochistic clothing -which basically includes black leather, boots and bondage- what else has been done in order to represent the fetishism of human beings or, going beyond, the universe of sexual deviations? All of a sudden, 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.

The Yarimanchinz [yeah, with a pural z] spread fashion in all senses, and are here only to encourage creativity in personal hentalism.

español\\\\POST NO FUTURE TFR está actualmente presentando una exhibición en la Hiromi Yoshii Gallery. La angosta entrada te guiará a un obscuro y lujurioso baño de un sórdido nightclub, donde TFR está exhibiendo fotos exquisitas, video arrogante y escritos sucios sobre sus PARAFILIAS representadas por los YARIMANCHINZ bajo una titilante luz de fluorescente.

TFR ha creado el término Japonés YARIMANCHIN. Para lo mayoría de japoneses ésta es una nueva palabra, sin embargo, los japas pueden captar la sensación de esta palabra muy fácilmente. En Español, YARIMANCHIN sería algo así como Hermafrodita Salido, Trisexual o literalmente GolfaChuloCoñopolla.

Es en esta rara entidad vulgar llamada YARIMANCHIN donde nosotros THEFASHIONRAMONE AKA TFR hemos encontrado nuestro alter ego. La razón principal es que no podemos evitar la asociación de algo tan superficial y hedonístico como la moda con el mero placer sexual a secas. Por lo tanto, para nosotros, una persona fashion que no es un hentai [pervertido sexual], es un impostor, un traidor, un puritano alienado en disfraz siguiendo tendencias que pueda que termine sus días sin alguna noción de estilo personal o fashion en sí.

Siguiendo nuestro aforismo que dictamina que la Moda es Hentai, asimismo estamos tratando de eliminar algunas ideas recurrentes que saltan en el inconsciente colectivo cuando uno habla sobre por ejemplo Fetichismo. Además de la ultra mañoseada vestimenta sadomasoquista –la cual básicamente incluye cuero negro, botas y vendaje- ¿qué más se ha hecho en aras de representar el fetichismo de los seres humanos o, yendo más allá, el universo de las desviaciones sexuales?

De buenas a primeras, la moda puede ser zoófila, necrófila, pedófila, dendrófila…todas las parafilias. Y esto puede sonar tan obsceno como fascinante, pero más que nada sólo estamos tratando de dar una idea de la precariedad de la moda en estos días.

Los Yarimanchinz [sí, con una zeta plural] expanden la moda en todos los sentidos, y están aquí para nada más que estimular la creatividad en “hentalismo” personal.
