    I got back from HK yesterday, and had an absolute blast. I’ll be putting up some pics on my Flickr account over the week, so if you subscribe to my picture feed, you should see them pop up there (I won’t be posting them here). Pictured here is me with my good friend Torahito, enjoying…

    Nice day for a flight! I just hope the weather is as nice once we get to HK. Now I’m waiting in the gate area, while the wife does her rounds in the duty free shops. Time for some PSP action!

    Before I head out, I leave you with this pic of me and Yoshi enjoying a bento on the roof of the OK Fred HQ yesterday. Can’t remember what was so funny though.

    I’m off to HK for the weekend! I know, a weekend is not a lot of time, but I actually really like just popping into cities like that for a couple of days. No pressure to see everything that you usually “need” to see. And tomorrow I get to see (nerd alert) EPISODE III! Of…

    If you read my Tokyo Q anime column regularly, then you know I’ve been promising to review KARAS, one of the new shows (but not on TV, it’s an OVA) set to premiere this Spring, for a while now. I finally got a chance to see it this past weekend, and it led me to…

    Even though I’ve lived in Tokyo for years now, I was in Takadanobaba (two stations away from where I live) for the very first time tonight. Met up with Craig, who brought me to a great little Okinawa restaurant (loved the taco rice), and then we sort of wandered around, ending up sitting under Waseda…

    The first issue of SHOJO BEAT (previously mentioned here) is out in the US and Canada. It leads off with 100 pages of NANA. Here’s a review of the first issue. When I was at Junkudo the other day, I noticed they had quite a few volumes of NANA in French, and so grabbed the…

    More on the ICC “Open Nature” show: This exhibition takes place at ICC, under the curation of Shikata Yukiko. But what seems like a rather straight project at first turned out to be slightly different, kind of softish in a way. That’s not only because the theme is nature. Robert Smithson’s “Spiral Jetty” (1970) for…
