    According to Kotaku, Adidas stores in Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka are going to be rolling out Xbox 360 kiosks this weekend that let you try out FIFA 2006. There’s a big one in Ikebukuro, so I’ll try and have a look — and this reminds me that I still haven’t posted all the pics I…

    I’m working on a piece for THE JAPAN TIMES, a sort of round-up of Tokyo Design Week, and I’d love to get your thoughts on the topic — and this could help shape the article, or suggest things that I should address. So if you attended, what did you think? What does Tokyo Design Week…

    In case you missed it, there’s a new free monthly Tokyo city magazine out called GO. The second issue has been released, and you can read the whole thing on their official site. I really like the format (square), the design and layout inside is quite nice, and they have some beautiful Superfuture-like maps. Still…

    Here’s another design-related job posting — which I think will make some of you readers happy — this time from the Nike Tokyo Design Centre, for a Tokyo Footwear Designer position. Nike is currently recruiting for a Tokyo Footwear Designer to join our Tokyo Design Centre. We are looking for someone with a strong cultural…

    PingMag has a report up on Tokyo Design Week. Going through it, looks like I was at a lot of the same places as the writers. As for my own coverage, next week’s edition of my monthly “On Design” column for THE JAPAN TIMES (on Tuesday) will feature a few favorite items spotted at 100%…

    I love the idea of creating collective art spaces like Kitanaka, but selfishly, wish it wasn’t happening all the way out in Yokohama. Approximately 50 units of artists, architects, designers and individuals engaged in other creative activities have found a new home in two refurbished, 80-year-old buildings that were dubbed “Kitanaka Brick & White”. Next…

    Yuki finally gave our (now over) Mamma Gun event at Cafe Pause a visit, and lived to blog the tale. Oh, and she still has t-shirts for sale.

    This month’s edition of SHIFT (108) is up, featuring a cover/interview by Paris-based film artist Yuki Kawamura. Also reminds me that I need to post something about the Dotmov Festival 2005, which I completely forgot about — there’s already plenty of stuff to enjoy online. Damn, and Resfest is in town this weekend, and it’s…
