I was recently contacted by someone from THE GUARDIAN about using a few of my pictures in a piece they were doing on Tokyo, and they ended up using 2. Bonus points if you know which ones!
Update
Momus takes a look at the article.

Jean Snow lives and breathes design and pop culture in Tokyo -- sustained by an unhealthy addiction to magazines and frequent visits to his favorites cafes. He has reported on these obsessions for the following online/offline publications: Time, Inside (Australian Design Review), Gizmodo, Gridskipper, Kotaku, Tokyo Q, Superfuture, OK Fred, Arthur Frommer's Budget Travel, I.D. (International Design), Metropolis, Azure, MoCo Loco, Kateigaho International Edition, Game|Life, and The Japan Times. He also manages the gallery space at Cafe Pause.
Jean Snow is a daily contributor to Wired magazine's game blog, Game|Life, covering game news from Japan and beyond.
Tokyolife: Art and Design covers Tokyo's cultural output of the past few years, covering the works of over 80 influential creatives. Jean Snow provided coordination assistance.
The Superfuture Superguides are a series of PDF travel guides to some of your favorites cities, updated monthly, and obsessively compiling the best places to shop, eat, and drink. The Tokyo guide is edited by Jean Snow.
He is also the design/culture editor at Neojaponisme, a web journal covering social and cultural aspects of Japan. Read the manifesto, by founder and chief editor W. David Marx, here.
PauseTalk is a regular series of events that take place at Cafe Pause on the first Monday of every month, with a start time of 20:00. The idea is to create a forum where Tokyo-based creatives can get together and discuss their own projects, as well as cultural currents of the city. The next edition happens August 4 (there is no July edition).

Oh hey! There you are.
I would say the cafe and the one with the mural on the walls/designery looking guys.
I blogged about that article here without knowing you were involved. My illustrations were street fashion pictures from Street, FRUiTS and Tune, which I think give a better picture of Tokyo than the usual cliché Gothic Lolita stock shot they’ve run with. So I’m hoping at the very least that the Gothic Lolita isn’t yours, Jean!
That caffe you blogged about definately! the other one I have no clue! I want half of my bonus points :D
Everyone got the cafe (Sign Gaienmae). The other one is the interior of the Maisen restaurant (below the Gothic Lolita).
I got them both!
