    This weekend is your last chance to catch the “Reactivity” exhibition at the ICC (and it’s a good one, according to Toe). Print out this page from Tokyo Art Beat and you can get a discount. I plan on going today or tomorrow.

    As part of the TDB event, there were a few installations at Parking 246, a temporary showplace where the Kinokuniya grocery store used to be. These pics were taken in a tent for an office furniture brand. Anyone could pick up some chalk and leave a message. Shots taken with the AU W21S mobile phone.

    This sounds like something to check out. Have you ever thought about how the nightscape of Tokyo in the year 2050 could look like? The “One million people’s candle night” is enjoying popularity, so maybe the habit of using flashy lights will disappear, but we might as well experience a growing development of LED and…

    I’ve talked a lot about Group, and especially its member Taichi, and now comes news that they have an upcoming release party for the album BEFORE TURNING OFF THE LIGHT (which happens to be a very nice album). The first live shows Group, a unit formed by electronica solo artist and drummer Taichi, Kirihito’s guitarist…

    Toe has loads of pics up from her day checking out TDB events in Aoyama. We were probably at some of the same places at the same time. I’ll post my rundown of that day later. Today I was really tired and didn’t end going out, so missed out on the stuff happening at Roppongi,…

    A fellow Tokyo blogger (he runs the following Lomo site) is holding a photography exhibition called “Tokyo Exposed,” with the opening party happening this week. This series of over one thousand photographs captures the Tokyo lifestyle from the unique vantage point through the lens of alternative photography. Using a well known technique called cross processing…

    Looks like Uniqlo is continuing on its quest to become the Japanese Gap, which honestly, is not something the world needs more of. Fast Retailing Co, the casual-clothing store operator known for its Uniqlo brand, opened its first large-scale Uniqlo Plus outlet in Osaka’s Shinsaibashi district as part of efforts to improve its brand image…

    Even with the rain (I was still shivering from being soaked this morning when I woke up), last night ended up being lots of fun. I met up with Jesper in Shibuya after work, and we walked to Daikanyama, stopping at a few places along the way. We first stopped at Collex Speakfor and Gallery…
