Month: March 2004

  • Hikaricho Ramen Meisakuza

    I’ve been meaning to write a post about this place for a while, but just sort of forgot about it until this weekend. The Hikaricho Ramen Meisakuza recently opened in Ikebukuro (sometime last month), and is composed of 7 ramen shops that serve different specialties of ramen all in this tiny street off of Sunshine…

  • Seung H-Sang and Yung Ho Chang

    These days I’m getting more and more interested in art happenings from China, be it design or architecture, so this exhibit taking place at Gallery MA that looks at the architectural works of Seung H-Sang from Korea and Yung Ho Chang from China might be worth a visit. Here’s the RT blurb: “A showcase of…

  • iSight Versus Yuko

    As I wrote in my post on Saturday from the Apple Store, I was seriously looking at the iSight webcams, and ended up getting one. Just had a quick chat with Chad, but being at work he was really limited in what he could do. As you can see, Yuko is enjoying it a lot…

  • Innocence

  • Cafe Pause

  • Arcade Maestro

    This is absolutely insane. Link via Chad.

  • Sync with the Mobile

    I’m at the Ginza Apple Store right now, and I finally found out what the deal is with those 2 different products that were at the Reudo site regarding using iSync with your mobile phone. The difference between the Sync Plus and the Sync for Mac OS X is that the first one (the newer…

  • Morning Musume Go Oi!

    Oh man, you need to listen to super idol group Morning Musume’s new single, it’s hilarious. They’ve gone punk-pop, including background choruses of “oi, oi, oi…” It’s so funny to see them in their “attitude” black and white garb, throwing fists in the air, looking as tough as their 15-16 year old bodies will let…

  • Mini

    A few of the customized Minis that were on display at Roppongi Hills. The bottom one is the “sakura” model.

  • Goodbye Godzilla

    Seems like the next Godzilla film, GODZILLA – FINAL WARS, to be released at the end of the year and directed by Kitamura Ryuhei (VERSUS), is to be last in the series. More in this article from the DAILY YOMIURI.
