Arcade Mania, in English
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.
The Bulletin of China Studies
This week is not just about the release of Arcade Mania, it also sees my wife’s first publication in a research journal (not counting university journals). My wife, Yuko, has had an article based on her current research published in the current issue (No. 8) of The Bulletin of China Studies (Chugoku Kenkyu Ronso). The […]
PingMag Shop
You know all that cool stuff you’re used to seeing on PingMag? Now you’ll actually be able to buy some of it, thanks to the launch of ShopPingMag! The site only launched last week, but already it’s filled with very “ping” products — they even have a “PingPicks” section — and you can expect the […]
Koob’s
Shantell Martin just never seems to stop. Next up, her very own DVD, Koob’s, which covers the artist doing what she does best: creating. It comes out in November, but you can already pre-order it from this page, which also includes a video preview.

The show covers gothic, lolita, and punk styles. Patrick Macias has plenty more info over at his […]
DJ Chipple
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.
Dry in Motion
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.
Arcade Mania Now on Sale!
And it starts! Arcade Mania is now available for purchase on Amazon Japan! Buy a copy, hell, buy two, you never know when you might lose one. The book sells for 2,100 yen, and that’s with free shipping if you live in Japan — remember, Amazon Japan does ship internationally. If you prefer to wait […]
