Comment on Kuniyoshi: Spectacular Ukiyo-e Imagination by dokool

Went on opening day – absolutely incredible work. Unfortunately they switched out almost all of the pieces halfway through the exhibition so if you go now you’ll only see half of what they had to offer. Highly recommended.

Miyake’s work is truly inspirational and so unique. Looking forward to seeing the show.

Comment on Reimagining Japan by jeffrey

Actually, I was thinking that there are at least a half dozen contributors, Sanger near the top of the list, who really don’t know *&$%-all about Japan and never should have been included.

I don’t know how long the Metropolis editorial staff has been in Japan, but when Sanger was NYT Tokyo bureau chief back in the early ’90s he did nothing but embarrass himself. He doesn’t speak Japanese and, apparently, knew next to nothing about the country before landing what was once considered a plum assignment and proceeding to write the same tired “boy Japan is a unique” puff pieces for the “paper of record.”

The inclusion of people like Howard Schultz, Thomas “the Mustache of Understanding” Friedman and Tyler Brule, the latter knowing Japan as nothing much more than a very well-healed tourist with a hobby business, are insulting and bizarre.

Metropolis sets a new low for condescension in its music coverage. It’s a shame there were apparently no writers available who gave a shit.

You honestly think she doesn’t know that? It’s an aspiration, rather than ignorance.

Comment on Mothercoat by Favourite Tree Records » The Watanabes / Towns And Houses / Take To The Seas » Blog Archive » Summer in the City

[...] Mothercoat are arguably one of Japan’s most successful indie acts. They’ve developed a cult following across the UK, and America, where they have toured extensively and played two showcase gigs at the SXSW festival; one of the largest and most highly respected festivals in the world. In regular demand at big venues across Japan, they are quirky, innovative and exhilarating. If you haven’t already seen them, you undoubtedly should. Mothercoat have technically just released their fifth album, Egobag, but with new members and a new sound, it is being touted as their first. With the final night of their EgoBag tour, and a “One Man Live” on July 17th, we are incredibly lucky to have them with us. [...]
