Ki no Ie
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I want a Muji house! Pictured above is the “Ki no Ie” demo home they have on display at their Yurakucho store.

Mumbleboy
Mumbleboy is in town for just over a week, and I had a chance to drop by SuperDeluxe tonight after work to see some of his VJing for the “Animal Lounge” event. It was quite nice, with an interesting crowd — gotta love seeing Marxy making some political art aimed at Livedoor’s Horie — and…

Gallery Tips
Quick rule of thumb: don’t make any gallery outing plans towards the end of the month. During my walk through Harajuku, Aoyama, and Shibuya yesterday, I checked out the following, only to find that they were between exhibitions: Lapnet Ship, Nadiff, Spiral, and the Logos Gallery. Oh, and I’m sort of disappointed with the KDDI…

This Week in Magazines (Addendum)
A new issue of PAPER SKY (13) has hit the newsstands, and as expected, it is Japanese-only. I like what they’ve done with the format, reducing the size a bit — easier to travel with? But it’s still sad that they’ve decided to go this route, and ignore their international readers (even if we were…

Architecture Now!
Taschen, purveyor of drool-worthy titles, is celebrating their 25th anniversary with a special series of books that they are selling for ridiculous prices. I was at the Libro bookstore in Shibuya’s Parco earlier this evening, and picked up a hardcover copy of the gorgeous ARCHITECTURE NOW! for only 2000 yen! They also had quite a…

Seleqlo
I was in Aoyama this afternoon, and decided to drop by the Seleqlo guerilla shop (located at Rocket Gallery) to see if I could get my hands on the Groovisions designed tee. Well, you snooze you loose, as all the designer remixed Uniqlo tees were already sold out. They told me that another batch would…

This Week in Magazines
As mentioned yesterday, a new issue of ART iT (7) is now out on newsstands, featuring a look at “180 creators ‘with the jolt factor,’ together with lists of outstanding venues and books hints at Tokyo’s current cultural life.” There’s a very cute magazine out called CAMERA BIYORI (LIFE WITH CAMERA). Obviously aimed at girls,…

Blog Type
Well, looks like blogging has hit the Japanese TV mainstream. As I was flipping through the channels last night, I came upon BLOG TYPE (Saturdays at 23:30 on Fuji TV). They — including uber-gravia idol MEGUMI and actress Kanno Miho — basically dramatize posts that they find on blogs, and then chat about them. Oh,…

PSP Love
After my bittersweet introduction to the PSP earlier this week, I have to let you know: I’m in absolute love with my PSP! This is one hell of a nice piece of hardware, and I just can’t get enough of it. I’m now playing RIDGE RACERS, which I think I’m enjoying even more than WIPEOUT…
