  • Spider-Man 3

    The last day of Golden Week, I went to see Spider-Man 3 with my friend. I see very few movies in Japan, in fact, this was only my second in a year. I’ve always been a fan of the Spider-Man series, and really liked the first and second movies. The first is better than the […]

  • My feeling about Japanese comedy

    I saw a great post over at the (sadly) now defunct Japanmanship blog about Japanese comedy teams. It explains how I feel about Japanese comedy almost completely, along with some nice diagrams. A funny read and worth checking out.

  • Japanese traditional music, and modern indie Punk

    Things have been busy at work lately, so I haven’t been able to post much. Of course, since it has been busy there hasn’t been much going on for me to post about. Last week though, I did venture out for two music-related events. I posted up a blurb on my Japanese Mixi blog, but […]

  • A School Uniform and a Machine Gun

    A while ago I downloaded the Japanese drama セーラー服と機関銃 (A School Uniform and a Machine Gun) and I’ve finally gotten around to watching the first episode. Sometimes Japanese dramas can be really hit and miss, but this one looks kind of interesting. I’ve decided to write a brief summary of the episodes as I watch […]

  • The Prestige

    I just saw The Prestige and was very impressed. I really liked this movie a lot. I haven’t read the book, but I am very impressed with the movie. It isn’t subtle, and in fact was pretty hard for me to watch because it is violent and scary in ways that I do not handle […]

  • Fumie Hiratai’s closing party / Viola performance

    A friend of mine, Fumie Hiratai (平体文枝), is an artist and recently had a show at a very interesting book shop, the Morioka Bookstore. It is a cute little book store in an art building (the Inoue Building in Kayabacho) that has a bunch of old photo books and other random art focused books. There […]

  • Namja Town

Ice Cream City All my Namjatown pictures All Flickr Namjatown pictures On Wednesday, I had a day off from work on Wednesday, so I met up with Risa and we went to Namja Town. Namja Town is a strange place in Ikebukuro, Tokyo that is essentially a food-based theme park […]

  • Little Barrie and Big Strides in the Liquid Room, Ebisu, Japan

    Last night I went to see Little Barrie (with a Japanese Fan Site too) and Big Strides at the Liquid Room in Ebisu. I really liked the Liquid Room. It reminded me a lot of the Mercury Lounge in NYC, a place where I’ve seen a lot of great shows. It was about the same […]

  • Cherry Blossoms in Shinjuku Gyoen

    Shinjuku Gyoen Sakura Photoset On Sunday, April 1st, the weather suddenly became beautiful, despite earlier predictions of rain. My friend Risa and I decided on the spur-of-the-moment to head over to the Shinjuku Gyoen National Park (新宿御苑) for some Cherry Blossom Viewing. It is hard to think of anything more traditionally Japanese than a good […]

  • Sakura on the walk home

    The other day, while walking home from Jiyugaoka, I was struck by how pretty the Sakura were on the main shopping street. I snapped a few pictures, and of course since the weather was nice there were lots of people lined up for Crepes at the cute little crepe stand. There were also some nice […]

  • Ishiyama-dera

    Dragon’s Hole Pond Entire Ishiyama-dera photo set on Flickr.com After the Japanese Natural Language Processing Conference, I had a few hours before returning to Tokyo, so I went to the nearby Ishiyama temple, which is said to be where the Japanese author Murasaki began writing the Tale of Genji. It is a really beautiful temple, […]
