    I checked out the new Marronnier Gate shopping center the other day, mostly to have a look at Ginza Hands, a new brand concept by Tokyu Hands. It occupies 5 floors of the new building, and pretty much remixes the typical Hands offerings into a slightly more upscale version. You can listen to me describing…

    I really like the bikes from Tokyo Bike (or Tokyobike.com), and I’ve pretty much decided on getting their Tokyo Bike Sport model. At the new Ginza Hands store, inside the Marronnier Gate shopping center, the bike corner is pretty much just made up of various models from Tokyo Bike, and includes a very expensive gold-plated…

    Yes, that’s right, believe it or not, but there’s a new episode of my TOKYO BOY podcast up! It was recorded yesterday afternoon in Ginza, and was cut short because of a little incident that involved blood… How’s that for a tease! As with the recent episode of my TB.MUSICA podcast, it uses chapters so…

    A few of the shots that I took the other day during our 8mm outing were for a panoramic stitch, which you can better see here.

    My friend Denis Goguen loves his 8mm cameras, and he keeps buying new ones. He recently built a small timer that would let him shoot with a time delay, and so the other night we walked around Ikebukuro and did some shooting. I’ve posted a few more photos after the jump, and you can see…

    With all the mountain trekking I’ve been doing of late, I had to update my gear, and bought quite a few things at the Mont-Bell flagship store in Shibuya. As you can see, you can even practice some climbing in the store.

    You all know how much I love hanging out at Minami-Ikebukuro park, and here’s another shot, taken at night, from the perspective of where I always sit. What you see way beyond is Ikebukuro station, which is just 1-2 minutes away. I always grab beers from the convenience store before going, and tonight I was…

    I actually do make it out of the city every once in a while, and last week we did 3 outings for some mountain treks, first up north in Oze, then on Mitake-san (still officially within the boundaries of Tokyo-to), and finally this past weekend on Karamatsudake, near the city of Nagano. I’ve put up…

    Here are a few shots (the rest after the jump) of the performance by Singapore’s The Analog Girl at Cafe Pause, this past Friday (August 17). I also recorded video of a few tracks, but unfortunately the completed file ended up being too big (1.7GB), and caused problems when I tried to transfer it. Thanks…

    What have I been doing during the current Tokyo heatwave? Mostly staying indoors (except for the occasional mountain hikes), often at the cafe, and putting together these Speakerdog paper toys. I can’t stop making them, and I imagine I’ll have quite the army by the end of the month.
