The giant Gundam statue in Odaiba, Tokyo, is complete. And I make no reservations in saying that it is undoubtedly one of the coolest things I have ever seen.

SHAZAM
13/06/2009
Shazam is a precocious music producer and DJ from Perth, Australia. Club monkeys the world over have known his name (or his tracks at least) for years, thanks to a string of remixes so slick, so lush and apparently so much better than the originals that they could only be described, as his moniker suggests, as magic.

Japan is well known for a many things. Temples, kimonos, sushi… and giant robots.

To mark the occassion, Bandai Namco are spending some of the gadzillions they’ve earned from the franchise to build a 1:1 scale, 18 metre tall, 35 tonne Gundam model in Tokyo’s Shiokaze Park.

HRAUN
15/05/2009
Hraun (pronounced “Hroin”) are an indie folk rock band from Reykjavik, Iceland. I know absolutely nothing more about them, other than the fact that they’ve managed to rattle off one very neat cover of the classic Ghostbusters theme.

It is possibly the greatest doughnut on Earth.
No your eyes do not deceive you. That is sugar-glazed cheese and white chocolate.

GO!GO!7188 パラボラナイト @ SHIBUYA O-EAST
18/03/2009
Less than a month after the release of their latest album, アンテナ (ANTENNA), fidgety Japanese rock band GO!GO!7188 were on the road again with their first nationwide tour of the year. The so-called ヘンテナ グルメツアー09 (HENTENA TOUR 09) didn’t officially kick off until the 6th of March in Chiba, but fans lucky enough to be within easy access to Shibuya were in for a treat - a somewhat last-minute, one-off “pre-tour” gig on the 2nd dubbed the パラボラナイト (PARABOLA NIGHT). Needless to say, as a fan lucky enough to be within easy access of Shibuya, I didn’t miss it.
