Halfway up the exit stairs of a Kyoto subway station lies the entrance to a small nightclub called, appropriately enough, Metro. It’s been there for several decades, serving a cosmopolitan mix of people drawn from the art schools and universities in the immediate neighbourhood and non-mainstream music scenes from across the wider Kansai region of western Japan. Once a month it also hosts the region’s longest-running queer event – a drag-based club night called Diamonds are Forever, which was launched in 1989.

我和某人跳舞：一家日本夜总会的酷儿历史

京都地铁站出口楼梯的中间是一个小夜总会的入口，这个夜总会被称为地铁。它已经存在了数十年，为来自邻近地区的艺术学校和大学以及来自日本西部更广阔的关西地区的非主流音乐界的国际人士提供服务。它每个月还会举办一次该地区运行时间最长的酷儿活动-1989年发起的基于阻力的俱乐部之夜，名为Diamonds are Forever。
