Last night was another great “Juliana” party at Soft in Shibuya, courtesy of Tokyo Fun Party. HOME CUT played an amazing funky disco dance set that had everyone shaking, and Chimidoro performed a lively set that was much appreciated by the crowd. I’m of course not forgetting Juliana resident DJs Digiki, SoccerBoy, and KazuNoco — great night guys!
On top, HOME CUT, bringing down the house, with Brad catching it all on video. Bottom, Chimidoro in action.

Update
Looks like this collection of Putimo Hi-Tec-C mini-pens would accompany the rest quite nicely.

This weekend is definitely looking like a great one — on top of the already mentioned Tokyo Fun Party “Juliana” on Sunday, the night before sees the all-night “FAMIMODE,” produced by the great Kichijoji retro game shop Meteor. I’ll let Jason, aka 6955, tell you why you’ll want to go:
Doors open at midnight, and check out the event’s official site for a peek at the event-specific collaboration tee from The King of Games that will be on sale (at 3500 yen).
Update
I also posted about Meteor and “FAMIMODE” on Gridskipper today.
