    As I mentioned in last week’s “This Week in Magazines” post, the new issue of OK FRED (7) magazine is out — covering the world of fashion — and they’ve updated their site to reflect it, including ways to order the issue online. In it I contribute my regular “Sekai no Mise” column, as well…

    The new issue of TITLE (74) takes you on a tour of “Rock Around the U.K.” It’s a pretty thorough guide, and I’m sure Toe over at Groovisual Diary has already picked up a copy. I don’t always browse through ESQUIRE, but the new issue (Vol. 20, No. 5) features a guide to Aoyama Dori,…

    Like beer? Like architecture? Then I’ve got the event for you: Part three of the Cafe Night Talk series at Asahi Art Square, the new hot spot on the left bank of Sumida River, is dedicated to architecture. In addition, beer is playing a central role in all of the events. Opening the first installment…

    I’ve talked a lot about Group, and especially its member Taichi, and now comes news that they have an upcoming release party for the album BEFORE TURNING OFF THE LIGHT (which happens to be a very nice album). The first live shows Group, a unit formed by electronica solo artist and drummer Taichi, Kirihito’s guitarist…

    So continuing from the previous post, I found that Taichi album because it was sitting next to the new album by Group, BEFORE TURNING OFF THE LIGHT. Taichi is the drummer in the band, and the album has the distinction of having been recorded and mixed by Dry & Heavy’s Uchida Naoyuki. You can listen…

    I actually did quite a bit of shopping at Tower today, and picked up another album by Taichi, WEEKEND CONTROL. It’s on the Revirth label, and you can listen to the tracks here. The reason I found it was because it was sitting right next to… (see next post).

    Thanks to one of the waitresses at Pause, I finally got a copy of Taichi’s AM I album last week, and I’ve been enjoying it since. I mentioned my first impressions here, and further listenings just confirm that initial feeling. The new release he was talking about when I saw him the other night is…

    Had a great time last night at Pause. Robert made his way over, and brought some friends. It was good to see Nao and Midori again, and I met OK FREDder Audrey. I think Yuko and me went a bit overboard with our manzai-like rants, but hey, we’re products of what we watch on TV.…

    After a very long time searching, I finally got myself a copy of the third issue of OK FRED. It just wasn’t available in the big shops here in Ikebukuro, and I wouldn’t always think to look for it when I was in other areas of Tokyo. Robert, who does some writing for them, recently…

    Anyone have good or bad things to say about Tujiko Noriko? Here’s the RT blurb, which makes her sound quite interesting: Tujiko Noriko looks back on a career that soared from Ginza bar hostess to prima donna of the Austrian experimental electronic music label Mego. The latest album of the (anti-)diva now living in Paris…
