If this is what the ongoing cleaning-up of Shinjuku’s notorious red-light district means, then bring it on.
The AV and gravure idols magazine Weekly Playboy is opening a bar in Kabukicho from June 10th.
Every night, different gravure models will be serving drinks at Shupure Sakaba (Weekly Playboy Bar) to a few very lucky customers.
This is an exclusive VIP bar with just five seats per session and a limit of only three seatings per night. Needless to say, reservations are a must and there is a hefty cover charge of ¥10,000 for one hour and a four-course meal (drinks and food not in the courses are extra).
The first night on June 10th will see the curvy delights of Ayaka Sayama and Mai Hakase serve 15 patrons. Other ladies announced on the schedule include Aya Kawasaki, Tomomi Morisaki, Nene Matsuoka, Aya Hazuki, Momoko Tani, Emi Ito, Saki Suzuki, and Yui Konno.
No AV porn stars are on the roster yet, but surely that’s the next step for this concept! The bar will also host talks and other events with glamor models and various celebrities.
From the looks of the interior, the planners appear to have opted for a stylish vibe that nonetheless pays tribute to the retro charms of Shupure’s decades of sharing the delights of glamor models. There also seems to be a massive poster of Fumika Baba in a bikini on one wall. Now that’s what we call distracting.
Shupure Sakaba will be open for a year and is part of the magazine’s 50th anniversary celebrations. It previously celebrated its milestone by bringing together 51 naked porn stars in one shoot as well as 50 scantily clad gravure idols. It also had an awesome billboard with life-sized images of 10 models in Shinjuku.
