    Back in November of last year, I wrote about getting an iPod shuffle, and then in the comments thread mentioned that the clip didn’t feel very strong, and that it wasn’t the sort of thing that would let you run safely (depending on where I clipped it, it could fall). I just thought it was…

    From TUAW: Gizmodo is reporting that Apple has installed an “iPod Bar” in the Tokyo Apple Store, which functions like the Genius Bar, but fields only iPod-specific questions. I can just hear the Genius Bar workers from across the globe exclaiming, “We’re sick of resetting iPods!” Hence the iPod Bar was born. Check it out…

    Wow, talk about fast service. I brought my iBook to the Apple Store in Ginza yesterday late in the afternoon because of a problem with the right speaker (it’s been crackling for a couple of months now). It’s still under the warranty, so wouldn’t cost anything, and they said it would take about a week.…

    I was in Ginza yesterday, and I stopped by the Apple Store to get my iBook fixed (the right speaker crackles), which of course gave me a chance to play around with the new iPod nano. The first thing you notice is how unbelievably small and light it is, even more so than the images…

    Damn rain! I was planning on going out to Ginza today, for my monthly gallery tour, to stop at the Apple Store to get my iBook looked at (one speaker doesn’t work properly), and to record my first Tokyo Boy podcast. Well, doing all that in the rain just doesn’t sound too enticing, so I’ll…

    After I wrote my last post at the Ginza Apple Store, I made my way to Muji Yurakucho only to find it so packed that I couldn’t have my usual snack and latte in the Meal Muji area (I didn’t want to wait in line). Also, the Atelier section was lame, only featuring new beds.…

Along with forging a new era in the advertising and design world since the 1970s, Katsumi Asaba has displayed multiple talents while…

    Damn. I’m in Ginza right now (writing this at the Apple Store), and wasn’t able to see this month‘s GGG exhibition, missing it by two days. I got there and could see them working on next month’s show, ANOTHER SIDE OF AYAO YAMANA, 1720s-70s, starting December 1. While I’m here, I think I’m finally going…
