    Oh man, there’s a report on the news right now on Dr. Nakamatsu, and they’re playing the Dr. Nakamatsu theme song during the report! Yappari, yappari, Dr. Nakamatsu, yappari, yappari, Dr. Nakamatsu… For those not in the know, Dr. Nakamatsu was one of the candidates for the governorship of Tokyo last week. He’s also a…

    Some of you who have been visiting the site in the past 24 hours (especially PC users) might have experienced some problems with viewing the new moblog column.

    As you can see, there’s a new column that’s appeared to the right of this one (if you’re reading this entry from the main index page) which is going to be the location of my mobile phone entries (or moblog). I’ve rebranded things a bit. I used to call my photolog TOKYO BOY, and now…

    Lil, who has posted quite a few comments on this site, has recently launched her own blog, esthet. As the tagline for the site announces, “a Tokyo perspective on photography,” and a good one at that. It’s now been added to my list of daily blogs to visit.

    My wife Yuko was at the Junkudo bookstore last night, and she caught a man masturbating while standing in back of woman who was checking out some books. She says the guy was realling going at it. She went to get some workers, but the guy quickly ran out. This is not her first encounter…

    My new keitai is the A5302CA model by Casio. The image above is the black berry model, but I got the static silver one, and Yuko got the virgin white one. I’ve setup a test blog that includes a new sidebar with the moblog (and for this, a huge thanks goes out to Kurt Easterwood,…

    I was walking around Ikebukuro on Saturday and noticed that one of the McDonald’s in the area was closed for renewal (re-opens May 5th). I took a picture of the poster in front that showed the new design. Sort of looks like a 50s sci-fi design, something that you would see on the JETSONS. McDonald’s…

    The big news today is that I got a new keitai (Japanese word for mobile phone that everyone uses here, even foreigners who speak no japanese), one that lets me take pictures and film short 5 second videos. This of course means that the moblogging I recently started is now going to go into high…
