    I walked past the Agnes B. store in Aoyama today — on my way to the A to Z Cafe — and this is what you currently see. It announces the upcoming “Obey Giant vs WK Interact ‘East/West Propaganda Project’” exhibition at Tokyo Wonder Site Shibuya (I wrote about it yesterday).

  • New Construction in Aoyama

    I was in Aoyama today and noticed this construction being done in that big parking lot area — across the street from Spiral, where they often have short-term event spaces. It seems major, since they’re working on the entire parking lot, and not just a corner, like they did for the Xbox Lounge and Nakata.net…

    A recent exhibition at Matsuya’s Design Gallery in Ginza that covered signage design, like the kind you find in the vast new shopping/residential complexes that are all the rage these days.

    I stopped by the Uniqlo flagship store in Ginza yesterday — the one designed by KDa — and picked up the t-shirt you see pictured above for my wife (they only have them for women), a collaboration tee between Nagi Noda and Osamu Tezuka. It’s a page from Tezuka’s PRINCESS KNIGHT (RIBBON NO KISHI) manga,…

  • Final Fantasy III Figures

    In the past few years I’ve drastically reduced the amount of figures I buy, and have especially tried to ignore manga/anime-related stuff. But when I saw these Final Fantasy III figures, I just couldn’t help myself, especially since I’m currently playing the game on my DS. There are 7 in all, and I got these…

    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 —…

    Added these 3 frogs from the latest Frog Style series (’06 Winter Ver.) to my collection the other day — it’s harder to find the gacha-gacha machines that sell them these days, but I did find one at the Bic Camera in Yurakucho.

    I wrote about the Midwest Cafe in Shibuya the other day on Gridskipper, and so here’s another photo I took, as well as a larger version of the one that was included with the post.

    Earlier tonight I attended a presentation by the Swiss design unit Atelier Oi at designer/architect Keiji Ashizawa‘s office — they are collaborating together on a new Swatch Group building in Ginza. It was quite nice to learn more about how Atelier Oi approaches their various projects — all quite diverse — and I also got to…

    This past Sunday marked the debut of Tokyo Fun Party‘s new series of parties, “Juliana,” at Soft in Shibuya. It was an absolute blast, and I’m already looking forward to the next one. Pictured above is the space very early on, before it got packed, and below are the two masterminds behind the event, Digiki…
