    I’m finding myself strangely attracted to Mikako Ichikawa, and I’m not quite sure why. Even though she played a nerdy sidekick to hyper-sexy Eriko Sato in CUTIE HONEY, I thought she was the best thing in the film. Today I watched the anthology film JAM FILMS 2 (quite a step up from the first one,…

    The Golden Week holiday starts tomorrow — I get one week off work — and there are usually special events that happen throughout the city, even though Tokyo tends to be sort of quiet, what with most people leaving for trips or going back to their hometowns. Looks like the Apple Store is going to…

    The NEW YORK TIMES has a piece on the RanKing RanQueen chain. At first glance, the neon-accented stores look like the sort of generic gift shops you would find in a mall: Backlighted display stands hold magazines, CD’s, candy and lots of knickknacks. Closer inspection reveals that like items have been grouped together, and each…

    Having a PSP has completely changed the way I watch TV shows (I’m even watching stuff on it at night when I’m in bed), and although I’m quite happy converting shows using ffmpegX, the new Media Recorder VRX-02 sounds quite interesting. From Kotaku: A Japanese company is developing a media recorder that can record video…

    A while back I posted about an exhibition by Zoren Gold and Minori Murakami at Depot. They’ve recently updated their site, and host a great portfolio. I really love some of the fashion photography.

    Ani Watanabe is the art director for GENEVEtokyo, and has a great photolog that you should really take a look at (the image above is from that log). Update (16/09/04): The image is no longer available.

    I can’t say that I’m really into keitai gaming — I pretty much limited my gaming to Solitaire, which stopped as soon as I got my DS, and then my PSP. But Paul over at In-Duce is really into mobile gaming, especially when it comes to networking and GPS-related functions. He gives us the lowdown…

    A few days ago I dropped by the Deux et Neuf Cafe, next door to Conceal Cafe (literally) in Shibuya. Deux et Neuf is actually more of a bistro, so it complements Conceal quite well. The two spots have become my favorite destinations in Shibuya.
