    This week’s TIME also has an article on Masakazu Takei, the president of Little More, a very cool little publishing company. He’s behind the magazine FOIL.

    This week’s TIME ASIA has a bit in their Global Adviser section on how the new trendy area of Beijing is Houhai, taking over from Sanlitun. When I was last in Beijing a year and a half ago, it was actually the area I enjoyed the most, and I hung out at the mentioned No…

    A nice design shop in Shibuya’s Parco Part 3 called Westream. It’s in the B1 level, which is one of my favorite places to visit when I’m in the area because of Apres-midi Selecao, a few design shops, and the big P-BC bookshop.

    Just found an online shop with a treasure trove of design goodness. Print’em is: “the poster output center managed by Mitsubishi Paper Mills. [They] offer graphic artwork posters created by young Japanese creators, on white polyester film based inkjet media which has high quality image, good water-fastness and non-glossy surface.” Me likes very much. Spotted…

    A while back I mentioned that I was slowly starting work on a secret project that I code-named PLR. Might as well let the cat out of the bag and say that the project in question is a teeny-tiny record label that I’m to start with my good friend Marc Xavier LeBlanc, photographer and DJ…

    Taiyo Matsumoto has a new book out called GOGO MONSTER, and you can watch two cool little TV commercials online here. Another site talks about a five-minute animated pilot done by a French group for Matsumoto’s BLACK AND WHITE series. I keep getting an error message when trying to download the pilot, but you can…

    I found this interesting because it’s the first time I see an ad painted on a wall like this, this is not a poster. The pic was taken in Shibuya, near Parco Part 3.

    I’m at the new Apple Store in Ginza right now, using one of the 18 iMacs that are freely available for Internet use and video chatting. It’s nice to be in a place where you know everyone is pretty much a Mac user. I was at the Genius Bar getting my iBook looked at, and…

    You can finally see Halcali in full video action, including their wacky little dances, by going to the following site. The have 3 videos there (one of them is a performance on the mega popular TV show MUSIC STATION), but you need to scroll way down, past all the Morning Musume clips, to get to…
