Tokyo Fun Party in Full Effect

Beat Vacation
Minna no Uta

It’s official, yesterday marked the release of Tokyo Fun Party’s first two albums on its music label, Digiki’s BEAT VACATION and Chimidoro’s MINNA NO UTA. The albums will be available in most stores — they even got a stand at Tower Records — and you can also purchase them online pretty much everywhere (all ordering details, which include album trailers: BEAT VACATION and MINNA NO UTA). Also, to celebrate the launch, TFP is holding a big all-night bash this coming Sunday (April 29, 23:00-5:00) at Hijouguchi in Shinjuku (entry 1500 yen, includes a drink). Get all the details on the event here, and go to show your support!

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).
