  • Tokyo Midtown Opening

    —

    ,

    As you could tell from the moblog shots I posted earlier today, I did make it out for the opening of the Tokyo Midtown complex. I’ve written a post for Gridskipper that describes my feelings — it should be up soon enough — but in general I can say that I rather liked what I…

  • Solid State Society and Nissan

    —

    ,

    As promised, here are a few photos I took at the Nissan showroom in Ginza last year (August 2006), showcasing the concept car used in GHOST IN THE SHELL: SOLID STATE SOCIETY. You’ll find 5 in all on my Flickr account.

  • Agnes B. Vs. Obey Giant Vs. WK Interact

    I walked past the Agnes B. store in Aoyama today — on my way to the A to Z Cafe — and this is what you currently see. It announces the upcoming “Obey Giant vs WK Interact ‘East/West Propaganda Project’” exhibition at Tokyo Wonder Site Shibuya (I wrote about it yesterday).

  • New Construction in Aoyama

    —

    ,

    I was in Aoyama today and noticed this construction being done in that big parking lot area — across the street from Spiral, where they often have short-term event spaces. It seems major, since they’re working on the entire parking lot, and not just a corner, like they did for the Xbox Lounge and Nakata.net…

  • Signage Design

    , ,

    A recent exhibition at Matsuya’s Design Gallery in Ginza that covered signage design, like the kind you find in the vast new shopping/residential complexes that are all the rage these days.

  • Nagi Noda + Osamu Tezuka Collaboration T-Shirt at Uniqlo

    —

    , , ,

    I stopped by the Uniqlo flagship store in Ginza yesterday — the one designed by KDa — and picked up the t-shirt you see pictured above for my wife (they only have them for women), a collaboration tee between Nagi Noda and Osamu Tezuka. It’s a page from Tezuka’s PRINCESS KNIGHT (RIBBON NO KISHI) manga,…

  • Final Fantasy III Figures

    —

    ,

    In the past few years I’ve drastically reduced the amount of figures I buy, and have especially tried to ignore manga/anime-related stuff. But when I saw these Final Fantasy III figures, I just couldn’t help myself, especially since I’m currently playing the game on my DS. There are 7 in all, and I got these…

  • Juliana 2 Rocked the House

    —

    , ,

    Last night was another great “Juliana” party at Soft in Shibuya, courtesy of Tokyo Fun Party. HOME CUT played an amazing funky disco dance set that had everyone shaking, and Chimidoro performed a lively set that was much appreciated by the crowd. I’m of course not forgetting Juliana resident DJs Digiki, SoccerBoy, and KazuNoco —…
