    I’m taking a breather at the Apple Store in Ginza (the new iMac looks even better up close), coming from this month’s exhibition at the Ginza Graphic Gallery: Graphic Wave 2004, featuring the works of Kudo Aoshi, GRAPH, and Namaiki.

    When the Apple Store opened in Ginza last year, 5,000 people queued up outside, more than for Louis Vuitton’s Omotesando store opening the year before.

Thousands of people lined up outside electronics stores in Japan on Saturday as Apple Computer launched sales of its iPod Mini digital music player. About 1,500 people were lined up outside Apple’s store in Tokyo’s Ginza district before the store opened…

    It’s a nice sunny Saturday, and we leave our place unusually early (noon) in order to make it to the Muji flagship store in Yurakucho for lunch at Meal Muji. After a nice healthy lunch and a bit of shopping, we make our usual stop at the Okinawa shop (picking up a Taco Rice kit…

    I’m at the Ginza Apple Store right now, and I finally found out what the deal is with those 2 different products that were at the Reudo site regarding using iSync with your mobile phone. The difference between the Sync Plus and the Sync for Mac OS X is that the first one (the newer…

    Can anyone tell me when Apple’s iLife ’04 gets released in Japan? Today’s the American release date, but I went to Bic Camera and they didn’t have it yet, and had posters announcing it, but nothing more specific than January. I can’t find anything mentioning the release date at the Apple Japan site. I’m really…

    What the hell is going on? What’s up with all this cool stuff happening in Tokyo right now! When I’ll be in Ginza to check out that Kono show, I think I’ll have to give the Asia Videoart Conference a visit too (and of course, any visit to Ginza must now include a look-see at…
