After the exhibition, I decided to check out the MyWay shop by Trico, and I’m still there, enjoying a second beer and chatting up with the staff.

Design Overload
Well, three hours later, and I think I’m experiencing design overload. It’s a great event, but there’s just so much to take in. Taking a breather now, before I start the long trek home.
About to enter.
Tokyo Big Sight
I must be nuts — I just biked from Ikebukuro to Tokyo Big Sight to see the Good Design Presentation.
Rather nice packaging and logo design for the new Acuo gum, done by Nendo. Link via Design BLOG.
Looks like they’re already sold out of the DS version of Final Fantasy III at the Bic Camera in Yurakucho. It came out today.
My Beautiful Tokyo
Some beautiful cityscapes from Yuki. She shared a few more at PauseTalk this past Monday.
GITS: SSS Trailer
It’s really the day for previews and trailers: here’s one for the upcoming GHOST IN THE SHELL: SOLID STATE SOCIETY film, which is a follow-up to the 2 recent STAND ALONE COMPLEX series, not the Mamoru Oshii-directed films.
Freedom Preview
You can view a long-ish preview (low, medium, high) of Katsuhiro Otomo’s upcoming FREEDOM project — what you saw in those recent Cup Noodle commercials — which gets released in October (part 1 will be out October 27). From the look of this preview, I think this is going to make AKIRA fans very, very happy.
Shift Blog has info on an upcoming series of live performances by Masakatsu Takagi at the Laforet Museum in October.
