    I really like SAL, a free paper that comes out 4 times a year. The biggest mystery to me is how they can continue to offer this thing free. It’s huge (about the size of two magazines side-by-side), and features sort of glossy/paper pages that look really nice. The latest one (12) is the “Stereo…

    J-List have asked me to mention that they carry some of the Frog Style merch at their online store. I love these frogs, as this moblog pic will attest.

    During my outing in Aoyama yesterday, I spotted an interesting looking indie magazine called HERE AND THERE (at the Watari-Um bookshop, as well as Nadiff). Published by Hayashi Nakako, it features a lot of photography, some interviews, nice extras like mini-zines and cards, and takes the shape of a giant-sized tabloid. At 2000 yen it’s…

    I leave in the middle of the afternoon, and take the subway to Aoyama, accompanying Yuko as she heads out to Todai. I decide to get off at the Gaienmae station, as there are a few things in the area I want to check out. Things don’t start off so well. I start by going…

    REALTOKYO has some nice things to say about OK FRED, and the upcoming release party. OK Fred is one of the better Japanese music magazines with a pleasantly hand-made feel. Increasing its volume with each issue, the makers have geared up and presented a bilingual paper with volume 3, and in celebration of the publication…

    REALTOKYO art director Kosaka Jun has an upcoming solo exhibition called “Dot,” and it looks like quite interesting. REALTOKYO art director Kosaka Jun shows his works in a solo exhibition. Coming originally from architecture, his regular vocation is — very much like a contemporary creator — graphic and web design, showcased at this exhibition in…

    The other day I spotted the first issue of a new travel magazine called COYOTE. The emphasis seems to be on photography, and it’s really funky photography at that. As it’s Japanese only, I’m not sure how the articles are, but the vast majority of the magazine is composed of pictures, the kind you’d find…
