    I was looking through book/magazine distributor Yohan‘s website, and found this section where they review/point out various nice-looking cafe/bookstores in the city. Pictured above is Book Club Kai. Update (16/08/27): The photo is no longer available.

    I’ve had an account on Flickr for ages, but never did anything with it. I’ve never really found any use for all the community sites that have come and gone over the past few years, and this just felt like more of the same. But I recently read an article at Wired News that made…

    Christmas giving in the form of music continues with Patrick’s Christmas medley done in the style of his Glad en Mono alias. Get into the holiday spirit, Casio style!

The Yahoo! Japan Shopping section lists the most popular sales, and the top 5 are all from Ikebukuro’s Taishouken shop. I…

    Marxy points us to a NEW YORK TIMES article on the opening of the new A Bathing Ape shop in New York, and then goes on to explain why Bape is dead (or at least isn’t the Bape of old anymore).

    Yesterday I had a look at the documentary that was made on Jesper‘s Tokyo Style in Gothenburg (TSiG) project, and quite liked it. It gives you a nice look at what happened during the event, interviewing a lot of the participants, like Namaiki, ODD, Afrirampo, Shing02, and more. A good document of something I wish…
