    After I wrote my last post at the Ginza Apple Store, I made my way to Muji Yurakucho only to find it so packed that I couldn’t have my usual snack and latte in the Meal Muji area (I didn’t want to wait in line). Also, the Atelier section was lame, only featuring new beds.…

    After 2-3 weeks of being out of action because of my succession of health problems — I’m not completely out of the woods yet though, with allergies currently annoying the hell out of me — I’m finally able to go out for some city walking. First up, the GGG, where I just saw the excellent…

    Uniqlo keeps trying to do something interesting in the tee market — and I still have yet to find anything I really like. This “Uniqlo Creative Award 2005” thing happening at Spiral this week might be interesting though. The concept of the Uniqlo Creative Award 2005 was “freedom and fun” to the ultimate basic casual…
