    Oh yeah, look at that freshness! The new OK FRED (4), just off the boat. Only problem is that because of a duty snafu, due to an obscure Japanese law, every copy had to be stamped with an indication of where it had been printed. It was hard work, but OK FREDders extraordinaire Yoshi and…

    The new issue of design ezine SHIFT (93) is up. This month’s cover interview is with Nakamura Yugo, who just recently launched a redesign of his site, Yugopop. I quite enjoyed the “Cafe Meets Gallery” section, that offers virtual gallery tours. Nice.

    With its latest issue, Tokyo’s English weekly city guide METROPOLIS has just launched an updated version of itself. I’d say they’ve done a good job, and I’m already liking what I see. More things to read, a return of the back page editorial (the old TOKYO CLASSIFIED, as the magazine used to be called, “Rants…

    During one of my frequent Junkudo magazine reading sessions, I had a look at a newish design mag from Turkey called 34. I had a look at the second issue, and quite liked what I saw. I would have bought it if not for the high price (foreign magazines are insanely expensive here). 34 is…

    I like these new t-shirts that have been produced by PAPER SKY and ROIAL. There’s one for all the different countries that have been featured in the magazine, in different colors. You can buy them at the BOOK246 shop, or online.

    Tokyo resident Audrey Fondecave acts as the editor of the culture magazine OK FRED (contrary to popular belief, it’s not just about music, as the last few issues have suggested), and is also an illustrator and photographer for the Slidelab group. On top of this, she works in fashion design, and has done various art…

    I just picked up the new issue of PAPER SKY (10), although there’s still no mention of it on their site. The cover story hits close to home as it covers the city of Toronto (in case you didn’t know, I’m Canadian), with a focus on its cosmopolitan nature. Reminds me also that I still…
