Photo review
I've been a bit quiet lately, though I've been posting some photos occasionally to my Flickr account, so let me do a quick recap of my recent photos that hadn't made it here.
I had been noticing lately this pile of rocks in the middle of a small road in Itabashi-ku, but only this week I went nearby to see what it was all about. Turns out some dude decided to make this a "private road", probably because it was getting too much traffic from cars wanting to avoid two traffic lights on the parallel Kanpachi (a highway).
On July 29 I went to ICC, and there was this brass band with 4 saxophones playing in Tokyo Opera City's the semi-outdoor area. They weren't bad, but most interestingly they were wearing constuction worker outfits! Unfortunately, reading the flyers they were giving away, turns out they weren't real construction workers. Too bad.
ICC, which is now free, was full of fun installations! It's mostly aimed at kids, so there's lots of interactive and visual stuff, truly a lot of fun! Definitely go if you can!
And as usual I've been taking occasional graffiti photos...
1. I've been seeing this bomb-like stencil graffiti all over in north-west Itabashi-ku. This week I noticed there's a lot especially in Funado. I might take more of these soon.
2. Large QP tags "hidden" behind a town bulletin board, near Hatagaya, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo.
3. My first found Space Invader! Seen from a pedestrian bridge near the West exit of Shibuya station. Also a huge André tag!!
4. Some graffiti on Nakano-dōri, nearby Marui.
Also I had forgotten to mention it, but on July 19 I went to see Oh! Mikey Night! About half of the episodes shown I had already seen on the "Oh! Mikey Hardcore" DVD, but still it was a fun batch. My favorite new episode was certainly "Mikey the Star Man", which was played last and features six extra-terrestrial Mikeys! The six Mikeys were displayed at the theatre's entrance:
