    Thanks to some gift certificates I received from my credit card company (yes, there are some times when using a credit card can be a good thing), today was a magazine purchasing bonanza. I picked up the latest AXIS (112), ART iT (The Korean Art Scene), and +81 (26). This of course brings me feelings…

    This week’s issue of city guide METROPOLIS has quite a few interesting articles in it, which I’ll rundown in one post instead of multiple entries. After a week, look in their sidebar archives for issue 553. The cover feature is a short story — “Watercolors,” taken from his DARK WATER collection — by RINGU author…

    Just picked up the new issue of PAPER SKY (11), featuring a cover story on Shanghai. The city really seems to be getting a lot of coverage of late, like TIME’s recent cover story proclaiming it to be the new “it” city in Asia. It’s definitely up there as one of the cities I want…

    Seems like the second issue of MASSAGE (and some info in English here) came out last month, but I haven’t spotted it anywhere yet. I’ll have a look this week at Tower Records in Shibuya (where I picked up the first issue).

    Stefano Guerrini is a reader of this site, and he’s also the fashion director for a very beautiful magazine called LABEL, which bills itself as “the Italian style magazine for international dreamers.” I’ve read the two most recent issues, and I’m definitely liking it. Presented in a bilingual format (Italian/English), it features all sorts of…

    Yes, indeed, it’s true, animation is not just for kids. Everybody outside of North America knows this. Women’s magazine publisher Shufu-to-Seikatsusha has just launched PASH, an anime magazine aimed at adult women. Japanese publisher Shufu-to-Seikatsusha, known for its numerous women oriented publications, has started publishing a new anime magazine aimed at adult Japanese women. The…

    I guess my magazine service is no longer needed. I just learned that Amazon Japan now has a magazine section. I imagine that ordering magazines from there will be cheaper than what I can do, and it’ll also be nice to be able to browse yourself, and get costs right away. What I will do…
