    I’m a sucker for Bearbrick/Kubrick toys. Don’t think I’ll have time to check out this Medicom thing, but I have to say that charging 300 yen doesn’t sound right. Medicom Toy, makers of BE@RBRICK and KUBRICK and promoters of the idea that toys are art, will be showing their BABEKUB CITY lineup, made in collaboration…

    Oh, I would so love to attend this — damn my schedule! Although North Korea is geographically close to Japan it’s a far country full of mysteries. How does a girl get into the “Group for Pleasure”, and who is it that came up with Mr. Kim’s funky hairstyle? And what about his rumored relationship…

    Sign Daikyanama is celebrating its first anniversary with the release of a collection of coffee tumblers designed by the likes of Groovisions, TEN_DO_TEN, and Shu-Thang Grafix (there’s a fourth one, but I’m not sure who the artist is). I think they go for around 1000 yen.

    Found this on Boing Boing: Apparently this new Japanese girl subculture is called “Decorer” (one who decorates, or is decorated). A little candy-raver, a little kinderslut, a little goth lolita, and a little Cindy Lauper. Pretty amazing. Link The page he’s referring to is currently not loading (probably too much traffic). Never heard of this.…
