    Photographer Moriyama Daido signing books yesterday at Nadiff in Aoyama. Nadiff is also hosting a small exhibition of his pictures, along with Araki’s, which I suppose is in conjunction with the Tokyo Opera City show, “Moriyama, Shinjuku, Araki.”

    In case you missed it, SAMURAI CHAMPLOO is back, and oh my, what a great return. The second season kicks off with a great episode that manages to allude to Harajuku (Ura-Edo), graffiti artists, and even manages a cameo by a certain Warholian lover of art… Seems like the show is turning more and more…

    I’ve been due for a new camera for what feels like ages now, and after a week or so of research, I settled on the Canon Powershot A95. It’s not the coolest digital camera out there, but it looks like the perfect combination of what I was looking for in a camera. I only got…

    Damn, can’t believe I missed this. Ends tomorrow (Sunday), but I won’t be able to go. “Move on Asia” is coming to Japan! Originally held at Seoul, Korea in May 2004, “Move on Asia” is an Art Festival covering animation and single-channel video art. Works by 45 artists from 11 countries will be on display,…

    I’m finally done uploading pics from my trip to Singapore on Flickr, and they’re all on one page, here. I would normally recommend viewing them in the slideshow mode, but they look quite awful that way, because of the compression.

    If you haven’t tried the PS2 game KATAMARI DAMACY yet, well, what are you waiting for? It’s fun as hell, addicting (believe me), and features a killer soundtrack. The following site has a pattern that you can print out to then build the main character of the game. Sure, doing so probably puts you in…
