  • Mamma Gun T-Shirts

    Mamma Gun t-shirt anyone? This is the NCM design for the tees that we plan on producing. A nice and simple look, and they should be relatively inexpensive. You’ll be able to buy them at Cafe Pause (while supplies last — we don’t plan on making that many) during the event.

  • Mamma Gun Update

    The Mamma Gun site has been updated, and now includes descriptions of our sponsor partners, as well as a press material page with quite a few downloadable high-res images. Also, I’ve added a “Mamma Gun” category to my site, so from now on I’ll be tagging every posts that relate to it.

  • OK Fred 6 Available Online

    Just wanted to remind you all that the 6th issue of OK FRED, released last week on newsstands and bookstores, can now be ordered online (here’s a link to the page for orders from outside Japan). You can even order an OK FRED cap, pink or white! And while on the topic of OK FRED,…

  • Moblog Updates

    Instead of writing a separate post on some thoughts from my day out walking in Ginza/Yurakucho/Marunouchi, I went and updated all the moblog entries I posted today, so scroll down to have another look. I tend to keep my moblog entries so short because of my extreme slowness when thumb-typing. Update: As I wrote in…

  • Kissa Ginza Site

    Remember Kissa Ginza, a place I checked out in Ebisu a while back (the picture in this post is the one I originally posted) and quite liked? The cafe/bar has a website, which I got from Toe’s site — she’s also a fan.

  • Oshare Majo

    I hadn’t heard of OSHARE MAJO — and usually I pick up on things that kids are into because of my students — but it’s certainly nice to see games expanding out of the boy-only ghetto. The DS is also helping a lot with this. From Kotaku: For boys, there’s Mushi King. But for girls,…

  • DCROSS

    At the Mitsubishi Electric-sponsored DCROSS cafe, near Maru Biru. I was going to go to the Dragonfly Cafe, but it didn’t look too inviting — very sparse, almost clinical, interior. Update: I was really disappointed by that Dragonfly Cafe. I quite like the one in Aoyama, and often go there (and bring people along), and…

  • Brutus at Maru Biru

    A Brutus taste-testing event at Maru Biru. Update: They also had a counter where they were selling past issues of the magazine.

  • Atelier Muji

    Atelier Muji is currently covering environmental issues. Update: This picture was of course taken at the Yurakucho Muji, but my big Muji surprise for the day was when I got back to Ikebukuro and went to another Muji to buy something (a mixer) and saw a foreigner working at a register! She was blonde, and…

  • Tigers GameCube

    Oh my — a Hanshin Tigers GameCube! Update: I spotted this at the Sofmap in Yurakucho (under the Muji store).
