  • Sponsor: H.I.S. Experience Japan

    —

    I’d like to welcome a new sponsor to the site, H.I.S. Experience Japan.

The sponsor love also includes regulars TAB Jobs, Chin Music Press, and Tokyo…

    What is TB.Pensar? Find out here. I thought MONOCLE had killed my keyboard. Huh?

    I just love this photo, taken by Sebastian Mayer, of (from left) Megumi (Assistant), Cyril (Item Idem), and Micke (PMKFA).
