[TL] #142: DRUM BROTHERS FT. PFEL & ATOM (C2C) - LIVE & UNCUT
2008-05-19 09:26:00
C2C rocks! Very nice and smooth. The quality of French Hip Hop is gettin higher and higher, day by day. My first contact to French Hip Hop was the movie "La Haine" by Mathieu Kassovit. I can't forget the scene that a boy was setting up his speakers face to outside by a window, turn up the volume, and starting the very nice juggling. At that time, I knew only MC Solaar in the French Hip Hop scene though, but when I watched the movie, I totally realized that Hip Hop is very popular in France too. --> C2C DMC 2003 --> C2C DMC 2004 --> C2C DMC 2005 --> C2C DMC 2006 --> Drum Brothers

THUGLIFE #141: DROPCLOCK SCREENSAVER / SCR
2008-05-09 06:55:00
Recently, I'm using such a beautiful screensaver "DROPCLOCK" made by Yugo Nakamura's creative squad called THA Tokyo. And SCR is kinda experimental lab founded by the members. He's the one of genius programmers, and he always on the top of web creative scene for long time. About 6 years ago, I offered to do a job together to him. I'd got very impressed at that time. And the website that we made got the Cannes Advertising Award. He was a very relaxing guy. But the atmosphere from his inside was totally different with the other creators. I could tell that he had very strong confidence. Nuf' respect! Information from: IWKN --> SCR | DROPCLOCK

THUGLIFE #139: NAGISA MUSIC FESTIVAL
2008-04-30 06:22:00
I'd joined Nagisa Music Festival yesterday. It was enjoyable very much! Techno, Hip-Hop, Trance, Reggae, Rock... many kinds of genres were mixed up at that party. Do you know especially Trance music is very very popular to younger generation in Japan lately, so many Trance headz were there. (I was already too old to enjoy Gore-Trance anymore, though. lol) Well, this kinda big party is very rare in Osaka. Gimmi mo' pls!! --> Nagisa Music Festival

THUGLIFE #138: BRAND-NEW THUGLIFE LOGOTYPE
2008-04-26 17:08:00
Recently, I'm trying to change the design of my blog THUGLIFE. This design's theme is "The most dangerous blog you've ever seen before." lol Actually, every Japanese think like Osaka is one of a very rough places. Especially everyone in my home town Tokyo think like that. You know there are only people who's very loudly, ignoring any rules at all, only talking about money... blah blah blah. ...I've got an idea from that. But this logo above is just made by me without any thinking of that. Just making what I wanted in anytime, and then mixing everything. I like this way to create something, whatever. Well, I'm gonna be making it customize little by little for a while. Keep it real!!! ;P

THUGLIFE #135: SONY'S LATEST ADVERT; FOAM CITY
2008-04-20 07:37:00
Sony Digital Imaging Europe held such an awesome event in Miami, Florida for its "like.no.other" brand-new advertising. The foam machine produced 2,000,000 liters of foam every 60 seconds! I've never watched before like this kinda crazy plan, but everything's absolutely beautiful though. It's dazzlingly good. Actually, I think this's a much stranger plan especially for Japanese than Europeans / Americans, because in here we don't have customs like enjoying bath foam at all. Although I really wanted to be there! ;) --> Director: Simon Ratigan @ HLA --> Images --> Download movie

Lately, some illustrations on flyers caught my attention many times. Those must be created by same artist, but I didn't know who was it at all. At last, I found the artist on the net, and I was very surprised. My image of the artist was like B-boy or some naughty guy. But the artist was a young woman! Whatever, I really like her artworks. I'm dreaming of a chance we can do some job together. Big up! What Tokyo Bitch is; "Material, not spiritual.

#129: TOY "DIGITAL" CAMERA; VISTAQUEST VQ1005
2008-03-19 10:36:00
I bought a cute toy camera named VistaQuest VQ1005 recently. Someone said that those photos' flavor shoot by this seems like Lomo or something like half-film-spy cameras' ones. Yeah, after I saw the pics (actually this camera doesn't have any screen to check pics), I totally understand why it was thought like that. Look at the photos above. Very strong contrast, the balance of blur and sharpness, and darker frame etc... Nice toy! --> Flickr: The Vistaquest VQ1005 & Genie III Keychain Camera s Pool --> VistaQuest Product Detail

At last we can see the sky without any softwares! Good job Mr. Google ! And also can put the constellation's pictures upon the sky map, like below. Then you can control the transparency level by the "Historical" slider on right-top. I think we can use this for some romantic things. ...Oh No, this is not a romantic idea at all. Too geeky. lol --> Google Sky

This's a very interesting video. Are those real bombs? How was it taken? Actually, since when I was a teenager, I've been into the Spike Jonze world. The first video I'd watched was the Beastie Boys' "Sabotage" one. This's my classic video. And of course I love the another really important Sk8 video by him, called "Yeah Right!" too. I found the 64 min full version video on Youtube. Enjoy it!

#119: TOKYO'S CLUB YELLOW ENDS ITS 16 YEAR HISTORY IN JUNE | BEATPORTA
2008-02-08 05:33:00
2 February, 2008 | 12.45AM   * Written by: Yuko Asanuma Another shocking and extremely sad news hit Tokyo on Friday, February 1. Space Lab Yellow , the city's one of the longest running dance clubs and the world's top DJs' most favoured spot, has officially announced it's closing in June 2008. The place, widely called as 'Club Yellow' or just 'Yellow,' opened in Nishi-Azabu, Tokyo in '91, and they just had huge parties last December, one with David Morales and Frankie Knuckles, to celebrate the 16th anniversary of the club and also the 20th anniversary of Def Mix together, and another one with Moodymann. Regardless of its rather small capacity of approx. 800, Yellow has been hosting the nights with the world's A-List DJs and artists. From Francois K to DJ Premier, Laurent Garnier to Mad Professor, Chicks On Speed to Joe Claussell, Lee Perry to Carl Cox... and it has been the most established, quality club in town throughout its history.   R...

#118: SWITCH BACK TO MOVABLETYPE AGAIN
2008-02-06 15:30:00
I've switched this blog's CMS to MovableType again. I was using MovableType before, but I switched it to WordPress because of just my interest. Actually, I've realized that MovableType is much easier to use than WordPress. This is my opinion. I know it depends on the way to use the blog for, but I can say that especially for designers, MovableType's construction is very sophisticated and easy. I hate that I have to republish every fxxxing time but that's very small thing. I don't mind. Anyway MovableType4 is totally different with the older version ones. The biggest reason is MovableType had changed to open source, I guess. This was a very great decision. But there are some problems at the importing entries from WordPress to MovableType. Every line breaks had gone away!! I have to fix one by one... ;-(
