Weekly revue: 2013 week #11 (March 9 to 15)
Food: - Thai and Myanmar curry at Bamii, Kōenji. The old café is full of records, and the curry was good too!
- French bistro Organ, Nishi-Ogikubo
- Homemade red velvet cake!
Exhibitions: - Julie Watai's "My Computer Magic" at P/I Gallery, Shibuya Parco (Part 1 6th floor). Displayed are various photos by the photographer/model/tech geek, and also a figure of herself created with a 3D printer, and a costume with lightings controlled by an Arudino board. All photos can be downloaded for free via QR codes! Until March 18.
- Went to a sugar sculpture exhibition by artist Ameshin aka Tezuka Shinri. There are many of the small and precise sculptures. This is held until Sunday March 17 only (until 20:00) at Tensai-sansūjuku in Asakusabashi. Entrance is free but you must order a drink (¥500). Event Facebook page here.
Music events: - I went to Enban to see electronic artist Akane Hosaka, who released new album "pikkonoco" towards the end of last year. I have seen her many times before, which was usually made of songs from her albums, but she now does an improvised show using a Pocket Piano, a modified TR-505, and a looping.
- And on Wednesday I went to see Denki Groove at Zepp DiverCity in Odaiba. That was a big show! The first part of it used projection mapping on large 3D face sculptures on the stage, that was really awesome! The two first appeared wearing hospital clothing, with Ishino Takkyu sitting on a trolley with an IV stand, and Pierre Taki pushing him. They played over 20 songs in total. I had a great time! This show is expected to be released on DVD.

New music: Forgot to mention it last week, I got a 7" split single by keyboardists Tucker & Emerson Kitamura. 4 instrumental nice good-feeling tracks. Availability online had been flaky, but it just showed up again on Jet Set so I wrote it up here. Highly recommended!
Music release news: Sloppy Joe, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu
Playlist: "kui tan" soundtrack (Konishi Yasuharu), Denki Groove, Kavinsky, Vanilla Beans, CTO LAB.
Tech: I made a userscript for use on mixi. It changes the "イイネ" (like) links to "イイニャー", and when clicked it plays the sound of a cat meowing. :) It can be downloaded here (works with Chrome, Firefox and Opera).
