    I picked up this flyer at Pause last night, for a Shu-Thang Grafix exhibition called “Grand Touring Special.” It takes place in Kyoto, at the Sfera building, which is great because I’ll probably be heading to Kyoto early next year. It starts today, and ends January 30.

    Pause is currently hosting an interesting visual/sound installation by Keisuzuki called “Dustleum.” A mic hovers in the middle of the cafe, and making sounds under it, like clapping your hands, creates random graphic visualizations that are projected on a wall. There is also a DVD for sale. It lasts until December 16. The image above…

    You’ll notice a new logo in the sidebar. I’ve always been a big fan of the Superfuture site, and as of now I’m writing reviews for them, as well as news bits. My first review, of Pause Cafe, is up. And a big public thanks to Wayne, co-creator of the site, for the excellent Superfuture…

    Paul moblogged me right back the other night, at Pause. And speaking of Paul, I hope it’s OK to tease you a bit by saying that he’s getting ready for the upcoming launch of something really cool, that will make it so much easier for you to enjoy the city. It’s coming very soon. I’ll…

    I leave in the middle of the afternoon, and take the subway to Aoyama, accompanying Yuko as she heads out to Todai. I decide to get off at the Gaienmae station, as there are a few things in the area I want to check out. Things don’t start off so well. I start by going…

    This mention in Momus’ latest Click Opera entry made me blush: His blog jeansnow.net is, indisputably, the fastest-moving and best blog guide to what’s happening in Tokyo. The pic was taken during our Pause outing from the other night.

    I am so in love with my new Captain Porno. Designed by Shu-Thang Grafix, it’s a product of Roughtoyz. A huge thanks goes out to Jun, who not only runs Roughtoyz and the Pause cafe, but also the Rough empire, which includes the Collector’s Showcase figure shops. One of them is just down the street…

    Thanks to one of the waitresses at Pause, I finally got a copy of Taichi’s AM I album last week, and I’ve been enjoying it since. I mentioned my first impressions here, and further listenings just confirm that initial feeling. The new release he was talking about when I saw him the other night is…
