Weekly revue: 2013 week #21 (May 18 to 24)
Last week marked the arrival of something I thought was lost, a wonderful care package from our friend Kinga in Poland! It took half a year! See Kinga's original artwork at her online shop.
Also I've been rather busy, which is why last week's post comes so late, and I'll have to catch up updating Tokyo's Coolest Sound. See what you might be missing on the release calendar page. (Such as the new Negicco single produced by Konishi Yasuharu! See the video below.)
Food: - Café Arie in Shin-Okubo, reusing an old house (aka Shinjuku White House) that has the oldest stainless kitchen sink in Japan
- Café momo Gärten (Facebook page) in Nakano, which also reuses an old "nagaya" building
- And a visit to Die Katze, a café in Shinjuku where the boss is a cat named König (pictured is another one called Kaiser)
Music event: On Konishi day (5/24), I went to see Konishi Yasuharu spin at department store Isetan. He was accompanied by Taque Miyazato (aka Petit Konishi who toured with Pizzicato Five in 1999) and they did a 2-hour 7"-only back-to-back DJ set!
Playlist: bice, InK, Takako Minekawa & Dustin Wong, Scooters, Hosaka Akane, Takanami Keitaro to Playtime Rock meets Shibata Kenichi, Chiroline ver.2, Pizzicato One, Kaji Hideki
This week's video: Negicco "Idol bakari kikanai de" (full version performed live)
