Weekly revue: 2012 week #27 (June 30 to July 6)
Food: - I had some tasty Singapore chicken rice at newly opened Mr. Chicken in Harajuku! They also have paper chicken and bak kut teh that I'd like to try!
- Dropped by Sunday Bake Shop at the Tokyo Gas Showroom in Shinjuku Park Tower. I also took a photo with mascot Pa-cho. :)
Music event: On Thursday I went to a Ustream recording at MP3 online store OTOTOY's studio in Yoyogi! The show was hosted by Honda Michiyo (Overrocket) and featured Yasuda Toshiyuki (ex-FPM) and Omodaka! That was really great, and I also got to shake hands with all of them!
Instead of describing the show here, you can watch it yourself. Maybe you'll even see me in the audience. :)
Stuff: - I got a new pair of Amadana earphones... my 4th pair..!!! This means two things: 1) They don't last much more than the 1-year warranty..., but 2) I love them!
- I bought Vanilla Beans' photo book!
New music: Old Monk "Birds of Belize" LP in my hands! I've been totally out of the U.S. indie rock scene ever since I came to Japan, but this rocks and sounds great! Also the yellow marble disc is beautiful! I hope to see them live someday! :)
Playlist: capsule, Love And Hates, Sunahara Yoshinori, Towa Tei, Perfume, overrocket, hitomitoi, Yucca, Aira Mitsuki X Saori@destiny, Les Jeunes Étoiles, Julie Doiron, ...

Tech: Changed the power supply in my 3-year-old computer, and this fixed the freezing and blue screens that had been happening way too often lately! Yay!
