    Here’s a nice big feature on some of the best venues to check out in Tokyo for audiophiles, and includes some really beautiful photography for each spot. Pictured, Oath in Aoyama.

    Another great shot by my friend Tatsuo, taken in Shibuya. I love the framing of that Hikaru Utada billboard.

    I point to yet another great piece about Japan from Said, this time this short guide of his favorite spots in Osaka, done for VSCO. The video montage made up of his photos is fun to watch.

    My friend Mare is a game creator (maker, with her partner Raigan, of the fantastic N series) and she’s currently spending some time in Tokyo, something that has turned into an annual sojourn for the team.

    My buddy Said Karlsson has written quite a few guides for Navitime’s JapanTravel site, and his latest contribution is for the lovely Yanaka neighborhood of Tokyo.

    My friend photographer Genevieve Daniell is heading back to Tokyo for a few weeks — she used to be based there, and we met through my PauseTalk events — and she’ll be doing shoots while she’s there. She’s fantastic at what she does, and so book her while you can.

    Being Tokyo (@beingtokyo) is a #rocur (“rotation curation”) Twitter account that sees a different person based in Tokyo take over each week to share their personal take on the city, and this week it’s my buddy Gueorgui who has taken control, until October 4.

    I remember seeing Michael Wolf‘s “Tokyo Compression” series — photos taken of people commuting on the train — a while back, and was reminded of it through this post on Fubiz. I’ve definitely had my face in a position like this.
