    Ever since I first saw a trailer for Fez at a PauseTalk a couple of years ago — when Polytron‘s Jason DeGroot (6955) was still living in Tokyo — I’ve been anxiously waiting to get my hands on a controller to bring that little Gomez to life myself. Well, I finally got my chance this…

    I’ve mentioned it a few times already, but let me take some time to try and convince you why you should be picking up a copy of The Otaku Encyclopedia: An Insider’s Guide to the Subculture of Cool Japan. The book was written by Patrick W. Galbraith, and if anyone was to write a guide…

    Yes, it’s been a slow week here in terms of updates, and I just wanted to reassure everyone that this is just temporary. Basically, real life has gotten in the way. First, as seen in the photo above, we have a new dog. His name is Confiture, he’s a Great Pyrenees, and he has his…

    Well, sort of. For tomorrow night’s edition of PechaKucha Night in Tokyo (Vol. 62) at SuperDeluxe — or tonight (May 27), depending on when you read this — I helped Tomoko curate by suggesting a few presenters who, ahem, just so happen to be PauseTalkers (with one exception). Names you will recognize if you check…

    Swedish illustrator Daniel Johansson, otherwise known as Venom Palette, will have a show this coming week (May 8-14) at the Design Festa Gallery in Harajuku. Some of you may remember that I featured a piece Daniel created for PKN Gothenburg a while back over at PechaKucha Daily.

    I’ve been very much enjoying working closely with Klein Dytham architecture (KDa) on PechaKucha Night-related projects this year, and it also pleases me to see them celebrate their 20th anniversary in Japan with a retrospective exhibition at Gallery MA, as well as the beautifully-produced book of their works and design philosophy that accompanies the show.…

    On Wednesday I attended the opening for this year’s second edition of 101TOKYO, held again in Akihabara, but this time at the Akiba Square event space inside the UDX building. It’s not really fair to compare this edition to last year’s — they were quite different beasts — so I’ll just congratulate Jason, Kosuke, Donald,…

    Spotted on Facebook: the 101TOKYO event space being put together. The show itself runs April 2-5 at Akiba Square (inside the UDX building) in Akihabara, and make sure to drop by Thursday evening (April 2, 18:00-20:00) for a special edition PechaKucha Night hosted by our very own Mark Dytham.

    I posted about it over at PechaKucha Daily last week — where you can see a few images from a PKN presentation — but I certainly need to mention here as well Claska‘s new bilingual (English/Japanese) pocket cityguide, Tokyo by Tokyo. The idea was to invite 70 creatives — our good friend Marxy is even…

    I’ve been meaning to highlight this: last week over at PechaKucha Daily I posted all of Chris Kirby‘s presentation from PKN Tokyo Vol. 59, in which he walked us though the slipcasting process used in his “Negative Series.”
