    The new issue of COMPOSITE (1) is out, and it looks really nice. The previous issue, labeled 0, announced a renewal that saw the magazine become bilingual (translations of the articles appear at the end).

    Wired News has a piece up on a store in Aoyama that caters to iPod aficionados, but with a twist. The owner recommends pairing up an iPod with antique radios or receivers with the use of an FM transmitter, like the iTrip. In the back streets of Tokyo’s upscale Aoyama district, there’s a little antique…

    And I’m not sure how this makes me feel. I’ve seen so many Asian movie directors get sucked into the Hollywood abyss, and I don’t really want to see the same thing happen to such an interesting filmmaker (although he already has his hits and misses). The film with Kuriyama Chiaki (KILL BILL’s Go Go…

    KUHAKU is a book just published by Chin Music Press, and it looks really nice. One of the people involved lives not far from here (we’ve talked about cafes in the area).

    Paul moblogged me right back the other night, at Pause. And speaking of Paul, I hope it’s OK to tease you a bit by saying that he’s getting ready for the upcoming launch of something really cool, that will make it so much easier for you to enjoy the city. It’s coming very soon. I’ll…
