Tokumaru Shugo in Koenji Again
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…

Propaganda at Todai
I should maybe go have a look at this thing: “Propaganda 1904-1945: Between Modernism and Totalitarianism.” It’s at Todai’s University Museum, at the Hongo campus, so it would be easy enough to drop by next time I go there with Yuko. Admission is free. The ASAHI SHIMBUN has an article on the show.

Euro 2004
—
I am so annoyed that most of the Euro 2004 games are only available on pay channel WOWOW here in Japan. I so want to watch that Spain/Portugal match tonight. It’s simply unbelievable that a major world (OK, Europe, but come on, this is next biggest deal after the World Cup) tournament like this is…
