    The Traveling Gas Shop at Picasso 347 in Shibuya. Update: As far as what is found at the shop, it doesn’t differ much from the stuff you’re used to seeing elsewhere from GAS (the books and DVDs, as well as tees), but the space is quite nice, especially the wall with their Shoppingbag display (pictured…

    Great, great news, if you’re fan of Taiyo Matsumoto’s work (like me): Anime News Network reports that Taiyo Matsumoto’s symbolic urban fantasy Black & White, released domestically by Viz, will be adapted into a movie for release in 2007.

    Are theses little gacha-gacha mini-DSes great or what? Need to get one, now! Found on Kotaku. Oh, and am I the only person who is completely obsessed with SHADOW OF THE COLOSSUS? Quite possibly THE game of the year, and certainly a worthy follow-up to ICO, another game I was quite obsessed with. Update (16/09/04):…

    Oh man, I want me one of these business card cases inspired by the classic Nintendo Famicom controller and games.

    The other day I posted about the NCM-designed Mamma Gun t-shirts that we will be selling at the event. Now, some people have contacted me about getting some, and although they were going to be sold at the cafe only, I’d just like to know if there would be actual interest in ordering them directly…

    I mentioned it in the post on the latest Stylewise column, but Martin‘s nice JAPAN TIMES write-up on the new Bals Store in Nakameguro deserves its own post. Personally, I’m really looking forward to checking out the Denz office supplies shop — it’s no secret that I have quite the stationary fetish.

    Dug up this old Muji tee from 2002 today which I haven’t in ages — an oldie but goodie. Also, I’m listening to latest The New Pornographers album, and loving it.
