    Marxy offers up some thoughts on Karl Taro Greenfeld’s 1995 look at Japanese youth culture, SPEED TRIBES. I’m quite interested by the reading suggestions he makes at the end of the piece, things I haven’t had a chance to read (I’m so behind on book reading actually, finding it hard to get through books these…

    One thing I wasn’t really expecting with the Canadian Style event — or rather didn’t really think about — was the fact that there might be some interest from the Canadian press. Last Friday I did a phone interview with a Canadian reporter, with the article appearing in Saturday’s edition of Canada’s NATIONAL POST newspaper…

    Yuki writes that she got an Omotesando Hills brochure in the mail (what you see above), and that the Hills will be hosting a Taschen store! I plan on going on opening day (February 11) to take lots of pics for a Gridskipper post. Update (16/09/10): The image is no longer available.

    My favorite little Tokyo (OK, Tokyo/Seattle) publisher, Chin Music Press, has done it again with the release of their brand spanking new book, DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO MISS NEW ORLEANS? I got my copy in the post today (which I had pre-ordered), and as with their previous effort, KUHAKU, it’s an absolutely…

    I just got back from the cafe after the Canadian Style party, and already Yuki has a bunch of pics up on Flickr of me. I am so happy with the turnout — I think we even beat the turnout for the Mamma Gun party, and we also sold out of beer! Huge thanks to…

    Last post before the opening party at Cafe Pause for Canadian Style (from 19:00). I just added a few pics to the Canadian Style photoset, including the one you see here, of the “Red + White/Read + Write” installation (where you are invited to leave your markings with white chalk on the wall). Hope to…

    I’ve mentioned Masako Ban’s jewelry in the past (regarding Ubushina), and now PingMag has posted a nice interview with her.
