    This week’s issue of city guide METROPOLIS has quite a few interesting articles in it, which I’ll rundown in one post instead of multiple entries. After a week, look in their sidebar archives for issue 553. The cover feature is a short story — “Watercolors,” taken from his DARK WATER collection — by RINGU author…

    A DAILY YOMIURI article takes a look at the growing popularity (and expanding number) of late-night TV animated shows. The number of such shows in late-night slots increased to 17 this season from 10 last autumn. Many of these shows are produced with viewers in their 20s and 30s in mind as producers hope to…

    Just picked up the new issue of PAPER SKY (11), featuring a cover story on Shanghai. The city really seems to be getting a lot of coverage of late, like TIME’s recent cover story proclaiming it to be the new “it” city in Asia. It’s definitely up there as one of the cities I want…

    I picked up a flyer for the “Creativity Now Tokyo” event, organized by TOKION magazine, and it does seem like something quite cool. From REALTOKYO: Tokion magazine presents a Harajuku-style “conference” event at Laforet Museum. A brief look at the official Website shows a mixed lineup of speakers including Uchida Yuya, Fujiwara Hiroshi, Kurosawa Kiyoshi,…

    Can anyone tell me what the building that is featured in this moblog picture is going to be (I’m assuming a brand store). It’s on Omotesando, still under construction, just a bit further up from the Dior store. I got the question from a reader, and it also got me curious. Update: It’s the Ito…
