Giant Robot Store and GR2 News

I'm staying at Noriko Ashino's place. She designs, art directs, does graphics under the name of APOD. No site to see her works, but if you like toys, then you probably own something she's art directed. We were at yoshitomo nara cafe in Tokyo - A to Z. Full report in the future.

Koji Harmon from UCLA. He lives in Japan now, and I saw him today. We walked through Nakano Broadway, the mecca. He's...

Getting over jet lag, I get hit at around 11pm. If I fight through it, I’m fine, I can stay up until 1 or 2, but then I wake up at around 7am. I guess I’ll be doomed if I don’t sleep in. I’ll see what happens later tonite. Right now, I’m filled with energy, it’s 8:15 am, and today is an off day, where maybe I’ll buy a new camera.

jeffstaple and mr kaws. As Brad Pitt said so many times and in so many tones in SEVEN, “What’s in the box?” Reed Space Aoyama interior. Amazing store just like Reed Space in NYC, many of the same elements, and that makes you feel at home. This’s me and Kohei, you’ll hear about him later on one day. He’s an amazing designer. Between us, that’s a sashimi salad from this little spot in Nakameguro. Can I find this little joint again? Maybe. It was amazing and actually low priced for sushi in Japan.
