Featured Event Photo

Luke Chueh will be on hand to sign the super limited edition vinyl figure, which features a black rabbit in a white bunny suit, with a smattering of red blood all over from his latest kill! Eerie yet cute, fans will want to line up early to get these! This RED ALL OVER series is a variant of Luke’s original BLACK IN WHITE figure which will ONLY be sold via Munky King!

Not only can fans get their goods signed, they can also pose and snap pics of the mysterious RED ALL OVER Bunny girl who will be making her FIRST ever appearance to celebrate the release!

Right after the signing, there will be a party you won’t want to miss! Bubble Punch is helping to produce a truly RED ALL OVER event, with epic blood splatter decor and music by DJs R Rated and Colby, along with complimentary beverages, snacks, and the YATTA Sushi truck!! We love those guys! Of course Luke Chueh and the mysterious RED ALL OVER girl will be in attendance, with a photobooth to capture the best of the night, so makes sure you come on over for the shindig!

Here are the deets!

Dokidoki my heart! The 6%DOKIDOKI Fan day and talk show

Posted in Bubble Punch Events, Event Report, Gallery Opening, promotions on September 14th, 2010

On Sunday, September 12, 6%DOKIDOKI hosted a fan day, which was lead by the brand’s owner, Sebastian Masuda.

Fans crowded around as Sebastian delved into his own brand’s image, and why he chose to start a brand based on “kawaii.”

His lecture included points about the development of Harajuku, as well as rare footage of Harjuku’s Omotesando pedestrian area in the 1970s. His primary insight into the evolution of Harajuku street fashion is that, although once flourishing with originality and DIY fashion, is actually now in a decline, because of the easy availability of cheap clothing, such as Forever21 and H&M. In retaliation, Sebastian has created 6%DOKIDOKI to bring back original kawaii to their shoppers!

6%DOKIDOKI fans lined up to listen to Sebastian's talk show!

Yuka & Vani are dressy from front to back as they greet fans.

After the lecture, 6% held a group Jan-ken-poi (or “Rock, Paper, Scissors” as we call it here in the states) competition to with special gifts from their brand! Everyone tried their best to win against 6% models Yuka & Vani. There were 4 winners in all! Congratulations to all the winners!

Jan-ken-HOI!

The entire weekend was a ton of fun, and brought together artists, Japanophiles, fashionistas, and fun lovers from all over! We appreciate all the guests and friends who have made this possible!
