    Sunday morning at Pause, taking pictures of kids playing with the Snapazoo. It’s for promotional material.

    From Travellers’ Tales, the Far Eastern Economic Review’s blog: How do you find entrepreneurial employees in Japan? The founder of a leading boxed-lunch seller has found the answer. According to the latest issue of Japan Entrepreneur Report, the head of Tamagoya, Sugihara Isatsugu, hires school dropouts and juvenile delinquents rather than college graduates. Because they…

  • MoCo Loco Nightmare!

    —

    If you’re tried to visit MoCo Tokyo (or its parent site, MoCo Loco) in the past 24 hours, you probably came up with nothing (and you might have noticed that there are no MoCo Tokyo posts listed in my sidebar). Seems like the hosting company, Hostway, has suspended the account and email for alleged spamming,…

  • PINE*am on TV

    —

    I watch G4’s ATTACK OF THE SHOW regularly, and yesterday’s show (Friday) featured a live performance by PINE*am!

The Japanese comics for gals are…

  • The Dancing DJ

    —

    Spotted in the current issue of RELAX (“Visit Tokyo, Accept Tokyo”): a profile on the dancing DJ GEDO SUPER MEGA BITCH GM KAICHANMAN 4 (all-caps were used in the magazine), who you can catch at Tokyo super-clubs like Womb. They also mention her email address: gedosupermegabitchgmkaichanman4@hotmail.co.jp

  • This Week in Magazines

    —

    The July issue of TITLE features a cover topic that I can’t say I’m very much into: “We Love Cars.” Bah. On the other hand, I sure wouldn’t mind taking the Yamaha Electric Commuter EC-02 for a spin. The world of manga gets another magazine cover with the June issue of GIRLIE, on a topic…
