    Damn. I’m in Ginza right now (writing this at the Apple Store), and wasn’t able to see this month‘s GGG exhibition, missing it by two days. I got there and could see them working on next month’s show, ANOTHER SIDE OF AYAO YAMANA, 1720s-70s, starting December 1. While I’m here, I think I’m finally going…

    This sounds like it could get me interested in musicals. Another explosion of Kegawa leader Emoto Junko’s charisma! The unique blend of gorgeous show elements and excessive expressions of eros and violence has won Kegawazoku a huge number of fans ranging from would-be actresses to lecherous daddies. Their fourth year of activity marks the troupe’s…

    Excite Japan features some of the new Fukasawa Naoto designs for the Plusminuszero brand. Also, I’m not sure if this is new, but the recently opened Aoyama shop — I still haven’t made it there — has a nice-looking cafe on the premises. The Excite link is via Dezain.net.

    Patrick reminds me that I need to go see the Kusama Yayoi show, Eternity – Modernity, happening right now at the National Museum of Modern Art (until December 19). I missed the Kusamatrix show earlier this year.

    Oh my. With everything happening in Tokyo this month, the Dotmov festival completely slipped my mind. Get thee to the official site right away and have a look at the tons of shorts that are there, waiting to be enjoyed.

    The Sound X Vision 2004 event, which I’ve often mentioned here, is about to make its way to Tokyo, to the Laforet Museum. Sounds like the opening day will be something special. Following acclaimed shows in Osaka, Sendai and Yamaguchi, this is the Tokyo edition of the audio-visual spectacle that features a number of outstanding…

    Although I’m late with the posting — I’m just now catching up with all the blogging I should have been doing over the past few days — I did enjoy a few more programs on the final two days of the festival. On Monday, I was there for RESMIX Shorts, which is the Japanese-only program,…

    I don’t normally gravitate towards fashion related events, but the following does sound quite interesting — and I’m quite fond of the graphic that advertises the exhibition. This is an occasion to reinforce Koike Kazuko’s reputation as a curator of fundamental power. The exhibition she put together introduces pieces of “clothing”, divided into five categories…
