  • How to Give a Good Presentation

    —

    In his latest OUT OF TOKYO column, Ozaki Tetsuya completely blasts the presentations made by Kaikai Kiki’s Aoshima Chiho and Takano Aya at the “What’s Good Conference” in Hong Kong. Honestly, I have to agree with what he says — if you’re not going to play the game, then best not to go and end…

  • Radio OK Fred in Limbo

    —

    Bad news for Radio OK Fred. As you know, the two shows that were uploaded haven’t been available for a while now, and it seems like there’s no clear solution to our problem. It’s all about the bandwidth, and the OK FRED server just can’t take it. We have a new show waiting to be…

Along with forging a new era in the advertising and design world since the 1970s, Katsumi Asaba has displayed multiple talents while…

  • Casa Brutus 59

    —

    The new issue of CASA BRUTUS (59) is also out, and it’s a bilingual one. The cover feature “My Home 2005” looks at building or remaking your home, a subject that seems to be popping up everywhere lately (probably to do with the new property laws that make it a more attractive option). I want…
