  • Famicom Card Cases

    —

    Oh man, I want me one of these business card cases inspired by the classic Nintendo Famicom controller and games.

  • Mamma Gun T-Shirt Interest

    —

    , ,

    The other day I posted about the NCM-designed Mamma Gun t-shirts that we will be selling at the event. Now, some people have contacted me about getting some, and although they were going to be sold at the cafe only, I’d just like to know if there would be actual interest in ordering them directly…

  • Bals Store

    —

    I mentioned it in the post on the latest Stylewise column, but Martin‘s nice JAPAN TIMES write-up on the new Bals Store in Nakameguro deserves its own post. Personally, I’m really looking forward to checking out the Denz office supplies shop — it’s no secret that I have quite the stationary fetish.

  • Bullet’s Compilation 01 Release Party

    —

    ,

    Fans of the tiny club rejoice! Bullet’s hasn’t really hosted any huge events so far (partly because it isn’t really a huge space), but with nice little ambient and experimental electronic music parties that often serve as a gateway for young talents, the venue has gained a high reputation across the country. Almost a natural…

  • Tokyo Asia-Pacific Entertainment Festival

    —

    , , , ,

    This looks like fun, and I believe it’s the event where Sony is going to be premiering some PS3-related vids (and possible hands-on gameplay). While the contents of the “Tokyo Content Market” […] is rather business-oriented, this festival here is more for the end user. It’s the first big event gathering various aspects of entertainment…
