501030811cov_white The first issue of TIME ASIA out after I leave (I subscribe, so I’ll get it when I’m back in Tokyo) features a special report on “Cool Japan”, as well as Shiina Ringo on the cover. Looks like there are a whole bunch of articles on different aspects of what is cool about Japan right now (mostly in arts and design it seems). You can read the whole thing online.

Previously, he was based in Tokyo for over 15 years, where he lived and breathed design, pop culture, and gaming, sustained by an unhealthy addiction to magazines and frequent visits to his favorites cafes (he was also Executive Director at PechaKucha). He has reported on these obsessions for various online/offline publications, including the following: Time, Inside (Australian Design Review), Gizmodo, Gridskipper, Kotaku, 1UP, Tokyo Q, Superfuture, OK Fred, Arthur Frommer’s Budget Travel, I.D. (International Design), Metropolis, Azure, MoCo Loco, Kateigaho International Edition, Wired’s Game|Life, PingMag, CNNGo, Phaidon, and The Japan Times.
