Shibari Live @ JP Pub
September 1, 2006 by Shin
Photography: crystal
Judge, a friend of ours, has been enthusiastically practising shibari and was invited to JP Pub, a pub in Taipei, to do a shibari performance. We were then invited by Judge to join the performance too. So, here comes our first SM show on stage!
Before the show. We were trying to make TenNights envy us..
It would be the first time we get on stage together.
Here we go!
We started from one end of the pub so people could see us clearly.
I broke a glass while tying…
Then we moved to the other end and started tsuri.
Charming, isn’t she?
I was saying to akane: “We are doing well!”
Done!
Hey…
Gozilla helped serving the ropes.
Judge was scheduled to perform next. However, he hurt his back the day before, so I did the next performance with Asa.
Key could not help starting playing.
After all the shows, we secretly arranged a birthday party for TTCat!

Oh, I’m so happy that you updated your website!
Where is this bar?
I’ve never seen your ’shibari’ recently…….
But Akaneko-san is beautiful as usual, and you seems fine.
I will write to you later soon!

Rui san, wow! Thank you for leaving a message so quick! By mistake, I published the article before adding akaneko’s translation. Thank you so much for your constant help and care.
It’s a bar in Taipei. As the article says, we were invited to do a performance. I was very happy to be on stage with akaneko. With her I felt the most intimate and loving.
In fact I have not practiced shibari for months. Now I’ve kind of forgotten my skills and cannot even do a proper gyakuebi. So instead I tried something looking beautiful but actually quite easy. Perhaps you and Tougo san can see.
We were supposed to perform in two consecutive weeks. In the week after, however, the pub was raided by police and the show was cancelled. We will post more articles about it.

ニィハオ！Rui 小姐、ミロ先生、好久不見！（＝お久しぶりです！）
台湾で元気に生きてますよ〜。実は私にとっては半年ぶりの縛りなんでーす。
你好！Rui小姐，Ｍiro先生，好久不見！
我在台灣很好。這是我六個月來第一次被綁呢。
Hello, Rui-san & Miro-san. Long time no see.
I have a happy life in Taiwan. This was the first Shibari in the last 6 months!

上で Shin/epicure も言っているけれど、二週目の時は警察の立入検査を受けて（びっくり！！）中止になってしまいました。。。

Sorry to hear that the pub was raided by police . . . I hope the raid had nothing to do with your performance as from the photos it seems very PG-13 rather than anything crossing bounds. Be well. The photos are very nice. - Brian

我是九月八日在JP pub被臨檢的倒楣鬼之一的黃先生
很高興能認識小林先生與Akaneko san
我體會到縛與被縛 信任與被信任 彼此的情感交流
透過繩子神奇的描繪
浮現出悅虐的激情
非常高興台灣有自己的繩縛文化
讓我們激蕩出自己的風格吧
還有其他場次的表演要告訴我喔
我一定會再參加

Rui san もトリリンガルですねー
日本語、英語、ロシア語も上手です！
私は.. ２．５リンガルですか？
ひつじ さん、お久しぶりです！
Chris, 謝謝您來看我們！當天讓來捧場的朋友們撲了空，真是很遺憾。關於當天的情形，我和皮繩愉虐邦的朋友們另外有了一些討論：偏差、偏見、與權力 — 我在 JP Pub 的一堂公民課。
我和 akaneko 表演的機會可能不多。倒是今年十二月第一週，皮繩愉虐邦會再次從日本請人來表演。到時歡迎捧場唷！
Brian, we did intentionally kept the performance with in the PG-13 bounds. However, that probably did not help much, since the policemen needed no reason to raid a pub — Taiwan is perhaps among the few countries where everyone is required to carry their id cards all the time and the police has the authority to check everyone’s id in any ‘public space’, whose definition includes these pubs. Officially they visited the pub as a regular check. Were it 10 years ago, the police may as well raid a pub if they suspect it’s where gay people hung out — even if they did not violate any law. The thing is that it’s not about law, it’s about intolerance to differences.
I’ll give some more account about what happened in the police raid the next Friday — after I get the photos from Crystal.

小魚, JP Pub 位於中山北路附近。不過據我所知，繩縛表演就只有那麼一次了呢。
