  • Redesigning Tokyo

    —

    REALTOKYO has started a new column called Redesigning Tokyo, and the first person featured is Klein Dytham Architecture’s Mark Dytham.

  • Cafe Lumiere

    —

    This looks like it could be quite interesting. I definitely need to be exploring some of Ozu’s original works too. Produced as a part of Shochiku’s “Ozu Yasujiro 100th Anniversary Memorial Project 2003”, this is an homage Hou Hsiao-Hsien dedicated to the filmmaker he admires. The concept, along with the fact that Hitoto Yo is…

  • Mobile Sites

    —

    ,

    Now that I have my new WIN phone, I’m trying to find some good sites that are mobile phone or PDA-friendly. Good RSS feeds are also welcome (full feeds, as excerpt do me no good as I’m looking for some stuff to read). Since getting the phone, I’ve been reading the great mobile version of…

  • Terratag

    —

    Paul sent me a link to the Terratag site a while back, and I just totally forgot to mention it here. Terratag takes the spirit of Japan and fucks it up, twisting Japanese themes into a unique graphic vocabulary. Mutating and originating a truly innovative Anglo-Japanese hybrid. He first pointed out the following page.

  • Pepsi-fu

    —

    I really like the following Pepsi commercial, that uses Japanese bunraku art. You can watch some more examples of this type of stuff, as seen on Japanese TV, here (one of those segments, the ping-pong Matrix one, did the internet rounds a while back). Link via Newstoday.

  • W21S

    —

    Thanks to help from Yuko’s mother, I was able to replace my lost phone with the Sony Ericsson W21S phone from AU, the “future white” model. This is one of the WIN phones, which is the high-bandwidth line from AU. What it means, is that I have a flat-fee unlimited 2.4Mbps connection to the internet.…

  • LiveJournal Feed

    —

    A reader pointed out to me that there is a LiveJournal feed to my site (don’t know how it got created though), so I’ve added it in the list of feeds that you’ll find in the sidebar. Speaking of feeds, I’ve finally started getting into RSS feeds (of other sites) after having discovered the recently…

  • Kiiiiiii and Tokumaru at Uplink Gallery

    —

    ,

    If you can, try to catch the gig tonight at Uplink Gallery that features Kiiiiiii and Tokumaru Shugo. Present finances won’t let me go, which bums me out, but I’m consoling myself with the thought that I’m sure I’ll get to see them another time. I just noticed that there’s a matsuri (festival) outside my…
