  • Sync with the Mobile

    —

    I’m at the Ginza Apple Store right now, and I finally found out what the deal is with those 2 different products that were at the Reudo site regarding using iSync with your mobile phone. The difference between the Sync Plus and the Sync for Mac OS X is that the first one (the newer…

  • Morning Musume Go Oi!

    —

    Oh man, you need to listen to super idol group Morning Musume’s new single, it’s hilarious. They’ve gone punk-pop, including background choruses of “oi, oi, oi…” It’s so funny to see them in their “attitude” black and white garb, throwing fists in the air, looking as tough as their 15-16 year old bodies will let…

    Momus’ latest Click Opera entry, Kahimi Currie, sees him looking back at his relationship with Kahimi Karie. Also includes a link to a preview of Carie’s new single, “Nana,” which should lead to a new album, MONTAGE, in May.

  • An Afternoon in Roppongi

    —

    Last Saturday I’m off to Kamiyacho again to get a new prescription for the pains in my legs. We make it there just before the pharmacy closes (13:00), and then decide to stop at a ramen shop for lunch. The last time we came to the area I had noticed a Kouryu shop, like the…
