    Seems like the site has been switching back and forth between MT and WP because I didn’t really delete my MT installation, thinking I’d keep it there so that I can revert to it in case of any problems that I might encounter. Problem is, as a lot of people probably get to my site…

    Yuko lost her mobile phone the other day. Well, she didn’t exactly lose it, she dropped it in the huge fountain in front of her library at Todai. It was impossible to retrieve (it’s quite deep), and so we had to get her a replacement. After some visits to Bic Camera and Sakuraya, we ended…

    Just a quick note to announce that the site will be switching from using Movable Type to WordPress either tonight or tomorrow. This won’t affect readers of the web version of the site, but I’m posting this here now while still on MT for you RSS feed users, as those will change. The following are…

    We were about to go to this ramen shop in Suidobashi, but as we got there we found out that it was a fish-based soup, a taste I don’t really care for. Ended up going to a Freshness Burger across the street. We decided to walk to Ochanomizu to come home, and I spotted a…

    After my big gushing over Taichi recently, I was very pleasantly surprised to see Pause selling a new remix album by him at their cash register (first time I see them selling a CD), which I quickly picked up. It’s an exclusive release from Jet Set Records, featuring 21 remixes of artists like Matmos, Tortoise,…

    A quick heads up to and upcoming Tokumaru Shugo live show at Enban in Koenji on July 1. It’s something called “Den-Den Mushi Night,” presented by Majikick Records. Show starts at 7, and it’s only 1000 yen. Alas, it’s another one of those early weekday shows that I can’t attend…

    Inside Atelier Muji, at the flagship store in Yurakucho. They had some really nice things on display, objects from different parts of the world that might lead to future Muji products.

    Let’s celebrate the return of my iMac (and TB.Grafico) with a couple of shots of the Apple Store in Ginza. Shots taken with the A5403CA mobile phone. Update: Patrick lets us know that Towa Tei will be giving a talk there this Thursday (June24). It’s actually part of a SAL magazine event that “will introduce…

    Just a quick note to say that I’m back on the iMac. Talk about a quick turn around: after it got picked up Saturday night, I got it back with a new HD early monday morning. On top of feeling speedy (probably mostly because of the clean install of Panther), they cleaned it up to…
