    This weekend is definitely looking like a great one — on top of the already mentioned Tokyo Fun Party “Juliana” on Sunday, the night before sees the all-night “FAMIMODE,” produced by the great Kichijoji retro game shop Meteor.

    The latest issue of BRUTUS (609) follows brain scientist — and all-around celebrity these days — Kenichiro Mogi in a cover feature they call “Mogidas.” Won’t be of much interest unless you read Japanese.

    I don’t just like The King of Games, in fact, I love The King of Games, and I’m absolutely overjoyed with my new “Zelda 20th Anniversary Hoodie” (in grey). As you can see in the detailed pics from the site, it looks awesome, and I can’t even start to describe how much it looks like…

Even better, they’re looking for participants! In the Tokyo Ubiquitous Technology Project in Ginza, you can experience various types of information provision and services utilizing ubiquitous…
