    Designboom has an interview up with designer Tokujin Yoshioka. I quite like his work on the Muji/Infill installation. But then again, you all know that I’m hopelessly addicted to Muji design. I even bought a toothbrush from there today. Link via Dezain.net.

    Looks like Momus has become a fan of one of my favorite manga creators, Matsumoto Taiyo (BLACK & WHITE, PING PONG, BLUE SPRING). One thing I find so interesting about him is that he incorporates European BD in his illustrative style (if I’m not mistaken, he spent some time in France), which gives it a…

    Yes, indeed, it’s true, animation is not just for kids. Everybody outside of North America knows this. Women’s magazine publisher Shufu-to-Seikatsusha has just launched PASH, an anime magazine aimed at adult women. Japanese publisher Shufu-to-Seikatsusha, known for its numerous women oriented publications, has started publishing a new anime magazine aimed at adult Japanese women. The…

    Wired News takes a look at the Japanese Mac gaming market (pretty much non-existent right now), and how Microsoft is about to change this.
