    I grew up on BD (French comics), and still have a special place in my heart for Spirou — I still try to get all the new albums — and I was shocked and pleased to learn that the new album (49) brings our great adventurer to Tokyo! Even more intriguing is the fact that…

    I still have never been able to get into using community sites — yes, I’m on Mixi, but I don’t really use it, and only go to my account page when someone sends me a personal message — but for those who do like them, I was recently told about Asoboo, which is a Japan-based…

    If tonight’s anniversary party for Tokyo Art Beat at SuperDeluxe wetted your appetite for more events there, this Friday’s “Dada Night” looks to be a worthy follow-up. Expect all sorts of visuals, music, dance performances, and what I’m told are stacks of free books to take home! More info here.

    I’ve decided to let my .Mac account expire (it did so today), which means that whoever used my Mac address (probably next to no one) should not use it anymore. I’ve been a .Mac subscriber since it first launched, and over the years have found it harder and harder to justify renewing, and this year…

    Let me start off today by giving on update on things, since from the look of the site this past week, it could seem like I pretty much disappeared. Looks like I had a bout of flu, so after a feverish first couple of days, I’m now at a point where I have a cough,…

    Patrick just sent out the 200th edition of the weekly newsletter for his Tokyo Recohan online music store — which translate to over 4 years because of a few skip weeks — and shares the following facts: – Tokyo Recohan opened on May 12, 2002 with only 3 CDs in stock – Newsletter #001 was…

    Don’t really know what to expect from this, but might be worth a look. As reported by Patrick: Nomoto Karia will have a series of daily very short films viewable for free on the columbia*readymade site. The first film will appear on October 10 at 0:00 and will change everyday! Archives will not be kept,…

    I’ve never been to No. 12 Gallery, but this “Zine Library” show sounds nice. A collaboration exhibition between Nieves Books from Switerland and NO.12 GALLERY will be held. Nieves’ publisher and editor in chief, Benjamin Sommerhalder, is coming to Japan for this occasion. At the exhibition, you can enjoy the zines from all over the…
