i like them all... i wonder if Abe Mao’s influenced at all by Shiina. Gips sounds like a lot of Mao’s more hard rock and less cutesy-pop songs, or rather the other way around.

ater Judy & Mary pretty much disappeared after the Warp tour, Shiina is probably my favourite Japanese artist. her style is so quirky... and the album titles... where else can you get pop-jazz titles like Kalk Semen Chestnut Flower? Kuki is my favouite song in the album but i think Youtube is actively deleting any…

Our motives are multiple, our desires complex.

Part of what we do on Earth is for your own protection.

There are parasites. Creatures who dwell Beyond.

They have names, but you do not know them. They would like to find you

but they are blind to your presence... unless you show yourselves.

The Androsynth showed themselves,…

sold...

yep, more specifically, Korean, Taiwanese, and mainland Chinese massage parlors since the mid 90’s, actually they weren’t just limited to west exit, there were plenty of those upstairs shops back in the early 2000’s when i was going there often, for the arcades and for the card shops. (MtG was big back then) and in…

i want to see them tackle original Metal Gear and Solomon’s Key. those 2 games gave me so much trouble even when i was doing pretty decently in similar games on the NES.

in the case of these old cartridge games, some of us actually read the instruction booklet so we didn’t blindly fumble around and knew basics like 8 directional shooting, how to jump down, what those power-ups were, mashing the button(or had a turbo-button joypad/joystick). it’s also the style of gaming back then and…

try Animate in Ikebukuro. that building is floor to floor catering to women only. (i like momotaro’s dog Shiro and the goldfish plant from Hozuki no Reitetsu so i do go there to see what they have occasionally)

i’m guessing you don’t randomly waltz into Mandarake, Lammtarra or Toranoana, there’s still tons of child-unfriendly floors, but you’re right, street level is a lot more tame now than 10 years ago. hell, just reading Tokyo Reporter and seeing all the arrest of adult establishments in Japan employing underage girls…

it’s too bad EA killed Playfish and ended Restaurant City.

and that’s all some people focus on... those people ruined the game.

just head out the door and shoot, that’s not the hard part... it’s what to do with the thousands of clips, choosing the right ones and how to put them together that’s the problem... the editing of this video is very well thought out. editing is why i’m still stumbling on producing videos...

because a little flirting between 2 men = “hentai fuck buddies”.

you mean it’s not just cheesy she’s not being sleazy which is making me queasy?

tagline: it is heavy, black, and pendulous....

like this?

i’m a huge fan of her Japanese songs, from Automatic and Time Will Tell to Sakura Drops and Traveling... but Exodus? it’s because of songs like this... you’re easy breezy and i’m japanese-y.... *vomit*

does it have to be your own cat? i found this guy loitering outside a convenience store in rural Japan(Wajima) and he begs to have his picture taken... he reminds me a lot of this old Japanese manga called What’s Michael? .

Cat... nado? Catnado? someone turn that into a movie now!
