    I just wanted to clear something up, since I’ve gotten some mail about it — following this post, and a post I wrote on Game|Life. The version of Arcade Mania now on sale at Amazon Japan is indeed in English, and is the exact same edition that will be released worldwide in January.

    My good friend Patrick had his turn as DJ last night in Koenji at the “Tokyo Boys Bravo” event, and he’s posted his set list. Looks like I need to try and get him to do something at Cafe Pause next.

    Uniqlo comes out with a new fancy flash-based web promotion, this time called “Dry in Motion.” I don’t really understand it, but it sure looks cool.
