  • Cap Exhibit at the GGG

    —

    As moblogged, I was at the Cap (a magazine design group) exhibit at the Ginza Graphic Gallery on Saturday. It’s great, and you should really try to have a look at it if you’re in Tokyo. Covers a lot of cool magazines, and I just love how page layouts are plastered everywhere. It’s no secret…

  • An Afternoon in Ginza

    —

    We start another Saturday morning at Kamiyacho, paying visit to the Tokyo Medical and Surgical Clinic (without going into details, things are better now, and this will hopefully be the last visit for a long time). Instead of staying in the area like previous weeks, we hop on the the subway to backtrack two stations…

  • Hikaricho Ramen Meisakuza

    —

    I’ve been meaning to write a post about this place for a while, but just sort of forgot about it until this weekend.

Here’s the RT blurb: “A showcase of…

  • iSight Versus Yuko

    —

  • Innocence

    —

    Damn. I was all excited about seeing the new Ghost in the Shell film, INNOCENCE, this week as it was supposed to play at the Roppongi Hills Virgin Cinemas with English subtitles, and while checking the site for times I found the following: We discontinue the show of “INNOCENCE” with English subtitle for imperfect subtitle.…

  • Cafe Pause

    —

    We were back at Pause this afternoon, and I found out that all the books on display are for sale (and you can of course browse through them while you’re having your drink). I had also mentioned a link with Roughtoyz, and this time I noticed that they actually have an office in the back,…

  • Arcade Maestro

    —

    This is absolutely insane. Link via Chad.
