Weekly revue: 2012 week #14 (March 31 to April 6)
Food: Couscous lunch at Tamtam in Nishi-Ogikubo, and Moroccan sweets.
New music: - New single from Kyary Pamyu Pamyu! "Candy Candy" really has a catchy chorus. The B-side is also fun. As usual the limited edition photo book is quite nicely done! A first album was announced too so I'm looking forward to that!
Music release news: - Vanilla Beans new single "Choco Mint Flavor Time" coming this week! Can't wait! :)
Playlist: Necozawa Emi & Sphinx, Towa Tei, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu (new single too!), Twinklestars, Merpeoples, DadaD, "Crue-L Café", Sunahara Yoshinori, ...
Tech: - I had a bit too much fun with an idea for April Fool. I made a page which when shared on Facebook or Mixi it appears as a news ("Japan has delayed April Fool to April 2"), but when clicked the page just says "April Fool's!". I used Open Graph Protocol meta tags for the fake news, and made it in 3 languages: English, French and Japanese. Unfortunately it didn't have any viral effect, though I did get a few likes and laughs which were enough to make me happy. :)
- The April Fool's joke that surprised me the most was Google Analytics where was quietly introduced a feature that played your stats on piano or sitar!
- The funniest was of course The Aprils', who this year took on Kyary Pamyu Pamyu!
This week's video: capsule "Feelin' Alright"
