Meet the founders of Waifu, whose party is open to everyone regardless of gender, race, age or sexual orientation.
The group, which has held five events in the past year to resounding acclaim, say they are open to all people regardless of gender, race, age or sexual orientation. The group was formed after Elin was turned away from a lesbian party in Shinjuku Ni-chome for being a trans woman.
So they decided to organise their own event, one that would have a strict anti-discrimination policy. While Waifu only got up-and-running in the past year, the group is already looking into the possibility of hosting barrier-free events in collaboration with other queer parties with a similar agenda by inviting transgender DJs who are active around Asia.
The women have a clear understanding of exactly how they plan to expand their parties. There are only a few female DJs out there, so we want to provide a place for women to be able to cultivate their interests. Follow Waifu on Instagram or Twitter for more information on upcoming events. Nightlife in Tokyo is more than just the bars and clubs.
