There’s never a dull moment at Kinbaku Live Night at Studio SIX as previous visitors can attest. This past Saturday evening was no exception as we were treated to the delicious Cashew (her nom de SM).

Osada Steve holds various events within the context of the Saturday night shows at Studio SIX. Let’s see, just off the top of my head, there’s School Girl Night, Office Lady Night, Amateur Night and, of course, Picture Night. Picture Night is when the model is amenable to a bunch of drooling strangers snapping photos of her at a mad rate. You don’t have to take pictures on Picture Night but what’s the fun of that?

I don’t know why she goes by the name Cashew, and I don’t care. All I know is it’s a good thing I was wearing loose trousers because this girl gave me a tent pole Read more »

If you’ve ever wondered how certain actors and actresses got into a big time Hollywood picture, just remember two words: casting couch. Male or female, it doesn’t matter in hedonistic Hollywood. Those who don’t sufficiently impress the producer sometimes find themselves heading a bit north and a bit west to the Mecca of porn, otherwise known as the Sin Fernando Valley. They can break into pictures that way but their work invariably goes straight to DVD. You might think that any girl wandering into the dojo of Osada Steve gets a place on the card at Kinbaku Live Night at Studio SIX. You would be wrong. They get a tryout with no guarantees.

It was fortunate the air conditioner was in good working order because things heated up fast at Kinbaku Live Night at Studio SIX this past Saturday. The extraordinary Aiko-chan was the guest of honor and Saturday night’s performance was at once sizzling and bittersweet. Even with the A/C going full bore, it wasn’t long before beads of sweat started forming as we watched Osada Steve manhandle Aiko-chan, who was initially attired in an elegant kimono and then stripped completely nude. But all was not sweaty palms and aching groins. Due to her schedule, Read more »

I have some hard drives lying around and I started wondering what was on them. A couple have completely crapped out. One, a firewire drive, got corrupted, I think. You have to be careful how you “un-mount” these things from your computer. I didn’t know that at the time. So I’ll attribute that drive’s problems to pilot error. Another one, a USB drive, just died for no known reason. These are external drives, of course. I’ve heard that sometimes the problem isn’t the drive itself but, rather, the piece of shit enclosure. So, if you can pry the fucking drive out of the case, you can maybe connect it up and get the data off. Worth a try if you’re ever in this position. It’s on my To Do list.

I noticed that an edit I did of a Randa Mai live show was on one of the good drives. This is really a terrific show and it can be found Read more »

I received an email from Osada Steve informing me that he is back in Tokyo. Steve has been in Germany for a month performing and giving workshops and generally checking up on things, while also giving special instructions in Osada-ryu. If you’ve been patiently waiting for Steve’s return and need your shibari fix in a bad way, don’t go to Kinbaku Live Night at Studio SIX this coming Saturday evening — no one will be there. Instead, you’ll need to get your ass over to Yokohama. That’s where Steve will be performing Saturday night as well as Sunday and Monday. Kinbaku Live Night at Studio SIX will resume its regular schedule on June 14.

As far as the Yokohama shows are concerned, here are some reports from a future post on the occasion of the earthquake that crippled Japan in March 2011.

Sometime ago, Steve sent out a missive to a select few individuals concerning his thoughts on shibari and kinbaku and the terms bakushi and nawashi, Read more »

I mentioned previously that Ryo-chan often favors us with a self-bondage routine when she appears at Kinbaku Live Night at Studio SIX. This wasn’t exactly accurate. What happens is, Osada Steve binds her in a certain way and then she takes to the air on her own, swinging, gyrating and generally contorting her body into all kinds of positions in an acrobatic and arousing rope dance.

There are a few artists out there who do a purely self-bondage routine. It is quite remarkable how they are able to tie themselves up and even hoist themselves into the air upside down. I first saw this sort of thing in a movie called Shocking Asia. Read more »
