- To begin, how did the Tokyo Chikashitsu Event start out?

Ao: I don' remember (laughs). I guess it started at the Roses of Dead Essence event. I was talking to the guitarist and we were like "there aren't any interesting things going on now, are there?".

Onan: Who came up with the name?

Ao: Oooh, I know that one! It was me and Helesy (from Jubilee)!!

Onan: Oh...I see. And when you decided to do the Chikashitsu, it was Cali Gari and Roses?

Ao: Yup. And after that Jubilee. They're a Kansai goth band.

- So the first performance was Cali Gari, Love and Rose, Roses, and Jubilee.

Ao: Well... we said we should do it in a dark place, and so it was a dark event. And it was flaming cause we were like "this is our show!". I remember the overall image being pretty sick. When I heard the gossip about the fire I was like "arara arara"

- Nowadays there are a lot of mainly band events, but then the second Chikashitsu event had Onan...

Onan: Gosh, I'm sorry...(cries)

- No no, I'm not critisizing you! (laughs)

- everyone else (laughs)

Ao: If you're gonna say that, on the other hand I don't get why we'd do an event and only have bands be part of it, or why it's so important to get stuff in a music only category.

- And that's why you made Onan part of it?

Ao: Yeah. I was asking people if they knew of anyone really uber-gorgeous and a mutual aquaintance introduced me to Onan. I was like "What? Really? Oh, definetely ♥ !"

- And you were completely fine with that Onan?

Onan: Oh, yeah. I was a bit worried there would only be one drag queen, but then I heard Oddity would be there too and I was like "ok, I can do this."

Margaret: I go natural, make the most of my physique (laughs). Those are my tactics, but if everyone progresses in their make-up techniques they'll get to that point too and so drag queens who're at that level, if they wanna be pretty and start wearing make-up then everyone's face'll look just like mine!! It's like "I win" *heart*!

Dada: I guess (laughs) By the way, taxis never stop for me when I look like this.

Margaret: Ah, I know~I have to get a friend to hail them for my while I hide in the shadow of a tree or something (laughs)...

Dada: Yeah, like I have to pretend I'm looking at a store, and then throw myself in front of them when they go by (laughs).

Margaret: I had one go by me once, and then do a u-turn and come back. The driver said "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I thought you were a manequin!" (laughs).

Dada: Gu-fu-fu-fu-fu (laughs)! ---Sooo, are you s/m?

Margaret: Even the beautiful and magnificent me has had to do it~ I've been beaten~ I've *ah...hah...hah...censured*, all that (laughs)

Dada: Woah! Can you really say that in a magazine (cries)?

Margaret: But, with that kinda self conscious attitude I couldn't be anything but m (laughs).

Dada: Ah~ (agreement) So it's like "wow, this person? It's like seeing a bad dream..." ... Like that?

Margaret: A naito-mea~~~~~~. *nightmare, said in english*

Dada: I see...and not just cause you said it in english (laughs)

Margaret: Right, right (big laughs). So, like, that's the big difference between being happy with just M. It's like noticing the boring way some people only describe who they are by how they look, like "I'm a man" and "I'm 180 cm." And then someone'll crumble their self-esteem for them, broaden their horizon, make and shift those boundaries with whips and stuff. I do that

Dada: Yup, someone's got a fe-tish ♥ Hey, didn't the store owner, Ms. Yukiko, go by a minute ago with queen Eve? Let's see if we can join up with them.

Yukiko: Yes, we sell s/m products, but they end they're really fetish. To the end, we're "fetish fixated on costume" after all.

Dada: I like it. The atmosphere here's really stylish, cute; it's gorgeous.

Margaret: Yeah, it's really appealing (laughs). People like us can feel at ease here.

Yukiko: If you say stuff like that the girls reading the magazine won't come here!

Dada: Ara! I though there was no deception in the world of s/m (laughs).

Yukiko: Well...about s/m, you do things that hurt, so it's a world were you can't deceive people at that instant.

I-bu: It's usually macho manly man people *and then whips and panda and I got bored*

Dada: ...... . Don't you think this conversation's gotten kinda outrageous the second time around...(laughs). It's like the M in MGazette's become...

Margaret: Maso-Gazette!! From now on, let's make it an s/m magazine ♥

Dada: ...was today's talk high style or highly vulgar? I don't kno~w! (laughs)

Margaret: High style for sure!
