    The events section of the Mamma Gun site has been updated.

  • TAB Mobile

    —

    , , , ,

    I used the new mobile version of Tokyo Art Beat today for the first time (I’d forgotten they had updated it — it used to be just the regular site, which was still viewable on most mobile phones, but not very user-friendly), and it’s a godsend. Works great, everything it formatted for a tiny mobile…

  • Mamma Gun Menu

    —

    , ,

    A sneak peek of the NCM-produced “Mamma Gun sager: Ta en PAUS” menu. Also, the postcards have been printed, and they look great. You can of course pick them up at Cafe Pause (and hopefully other places around the city sometime soon).

  • 18th Tokyo International Film Festival

    —

    ,

    I haven’t had time (and money) to really look into the 18th Tokyo International Film Festival (until October 30), but METROPOLIS has some good coverage here (as always, link dies after a week).

  • My Dream Come True

    —

    ,

    I can’t even find the words to describe it, but I am beyond happy — I’m going to see The Pixies perform live in early December (on the 5th at Zepp Tokyo), and this, my friends, is a big deal for me. See, The Pixies are, well, my all-time favorite band (I know that sounds…

  • Container Exhibition 2004 Movie

    —

    ,

    The official Tokyo Designer’s Week website is hosting a terrific video documentary (with no sound) of last year’s edition of their very popular “Container Exhibition.” This year’s show will be held at TDW’s main venue of Jingu Gaien (near Gaienmae Station, in Aoyama).

  • Production I.G Exhibition

    —

    ,

    I don’t mention exhibitions much anymore now that I have the TAB badge in my sidebar (you can also subscribe to a feed of my recommended events), but I do want to make an exception for this new show at the Parco Museum of Art and Beyond covering the work of Production I.G. “Production I.G”…
