    The title pretty much says it all, but read more about it here. Thanks, David!

  • Radio OK Fred 11

    It’s been barely a week, but yes, we already have a new episode of Radio OK Fred up! Episode 11 has a theme of “animals,” and as you can see from the cover, me and Yoshi even grew mustaches for this one — you’ll have to listen to the show to find out what this…

  • PauseTalk Vol. 29

    38. That was the attendance for last night’s PauseTalk (Vol. 29), and I’m still not quite sure how it happened. I usually get an average of 15-20 attendees at each edition, which is a nice number — remember, PT is meant to be a salon-like event. The huge crowd also meant that for the first…

  • My City

    Ain’t she nice? Taken from the 52nd floor of the Mori Building in Roppongi.
