    Although I’m late with the posting — I’m just now catching up with all the blogging I should have been doing over the past few days — I did enjoy a few more programs on the final two days of the festival. On Monday, I was there for RESMIX Shorts, which is the Japanese-only program,…

    Momus has been doing some high-density blogging of late, and a recent entry takes a look at some Japanese-related cultural artifacts that you should be aware of — and it reminds me that I really need to write a MoCo Tokyo entry on Atelier Bow Wow. You should also download “I Refuse to Die,” and…

    Marxy tells us a bit about the magazine Saizou, which I’d never seen before. Damn, must kick my kanji studying into high gear!

    Looks like Miyazaki has another hit on his hands. Famed director Hayao Miyazaki’s latest animated film “Howl’s Moving Castle” chalked up 1.48 billion yen in box-office revenue and attracted an audience of 1.1 million people during its first two days of release, a record for a domestic film, Toho Co said Monday. For its first…

    This afternoon, after catching a Resfest program in Harajuku, I was off to the Tokyo University Komaba campus to watch a performance by Kiiiiiii — who I’ve been meaning to see for what seems like ages now. Oh man, what a show! I’ve rarely seen that much energy on a stage. The whole Kiiiiiii thing…

    I didn’t wake up early enough to catch the RESMIX Korea program this morning, but I made it to Shorts #02, and really enjoyed a lot of the shorts presented. Stefan Nadelman — director of last year’s great TERMINAL — was on hand after the program to talk about his contribution this year, ONE STEP…

    A TV crew from TV Tokyo approached Yuko today at school, asking her to be part of the segment they were shooting for a “Girls of Tokyo University” bit. I’m not sure on the name of the program, but it airs Saturday nights.

    Nicholas D. Kent sends me news that he’s just posted online an interview he did with the group Puffy back in 2002. Done to provide quotes for a magazine article, it wasn’t originally planned as a published interview. While on the subject of Puffy, I know that they’ve recently developed a following in America with…
