    Marxy explains the success of Uniqlo over at The Business of Fashion blog. My favorite bit from the piece: In fact, perhaps the brand’s most powerful asset is its neutrality. Wearing Uniqlo carries no meaning of its own. It’s as close as apparel has ever come to interchangeable LEGO blocks.

    Live from Tokyo is an upcoming documentary on Tokyo’s independent music scene, directed by Lewis Rapkin. And yes, that’s Marxy that you see pop up a few times in the trailer.

    For his latest project, artist Yuken Teruya turns trash — like disposable paper bags from MickeyD’s — into beautiful art installations, like the scene pictured above. Via Marxy.

    I was really upset that I had to miss last week’s Néojaponisme joint at the SO+BA gallery — it was to be my first DJ stint, dammit — but I am glad to hear that it turned out to be a great NJ lovefest. And now time to point you to the site today for…

    Uniqlo does it again, introducing yet another flash web app to help promote the brand, this time in the form of a calendar that shuffles time-lapse videos of tilt-shift style photos. Looks great, and they’ll release it as a screensaver soon too. Via Marxy.

    During his recent visit to Tokyo, Patrick Macias sat down with Marxy at a discount tonkatsu shop, and they then proceeded to record for Neojaponisme a talk on, among other things, the state of the Japanese recession and current yankii culture. I give you, The Tonkatsu Tapes.

    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…

    Marxy has the final world on the McDonald’s viral Quarter Pounder marketing in Japan over at Clast. Me, I never had a chance to check out the shops when they went black — since I’ve been based in the area, the Omotesando branch has already closed and has yet to re-open, probably as they renew…

    Either I’m really short, or Marxy is really tall (actually, it’s both). Photo taken at last Wednesday’s United Bamboo party (thanks, Marie). Bonus game: spot the PMKFA.
