    The new issue of TOKION JAPAN (55) is out, sporting a beautiful cover with Megumi and Micke, and a big feature inside. Congrats to the both of them on some nice coverage — they definitely deserve it — and I’m just hoping Megumi won’t hate me too much for posting the picture above, taken at…

    I don’t have a lot of pictures of myself, so figured I’d share this one. Taken by a drunk Jesper with my camera, at the end of the “Nudie Cafe” event party.

    I’ve done a lot of these “Afternoon” posts, but I think I’ve yet to write one for Ikebukuro, my hood, and so here is what amounts to a rather typical Saturday (or Sunday) with the wife. We started off yesterday by heading out around 13-14:00 to get lunch at Cafe Add+Ress inside Parco. We pretty…

    I stopped by Ikebukuro’s Parco yesterday, and really liked this stationery from Tsubame Note Co., Ltd. at the Ocean Union store (part of the General Store chain).

    It’s a new month, which means new Graniph tees for me, right! Recently I’m really into their long-sleeved shirts, so picked the two pictured above yesterday. I quite like all the shirts by Build (I have the first one they released as well), so couldn’t resist this new long-sleeved one — and I liked the…

    Even though urban renewal can be an exciting topic — I’m a sucker for big projects that “positively” transform neighborhoods — Joi Ito tears down the “Chuoism” happening out in Chiba.

    Jeux France posts a few images of a store that has already set up displays for the Wii, ahead of the December 2 sale date (they don’t say what store this is from though). Me, I’m still excited about the Wii, but I have to say that the only time I started having some reservations…

    Lisa, who wrote that piece on Kami-Robo in WIRED a while back, is doing a giveaway and offering one as the prize on her blog! The one I bought recently was a plastic version, but it was still really fun putting it together, and it looks terrific.

    Muji is doing another Christmas campaign this year — they started last year — with plenty of gifts offered only during the holiday season, and again creating a cute little bilingual catalogue that you can pick up at all stores. I quite like their city handkerchiefs!
