Yeah, I saw one recordshop. Didn't really check it out that well, maybe next time. I'll probably be back in six months time. You staying in Japna at the moment?

ah crap. or maybe not. did you like it in japan?

― Nathalie (stevie nixed), Thursday, 8 February 2007 17:15 (seventeen years ago) link

Tokyo's nice, but I like Kansai prefecture much better. Better food, music, art, shopping, fashion, record stores, etc. People are a lot more laid back and friendly too.

At the sushi restaurant the cook came up to talk to me. He was from Kansai. Fucking hard to understand what he was saying. I mean, shit, my Japanese is pretty basic, but I can usually getthe gist of what a Japanese person is saying. But I know what you mean, Kansai people are much friendlier.

Hakone was amazing however.

― Nathalie (stevie nixed), Thursday, 8 February 2007 17:23 (seventeen years ago) link

That's great. Next time you meet a person from Kansai at a restaurant (esp. a chef!) say "kuidaore!"

Book Description
The Ganzfeld returns with a special issue devoted mostly to Canadian and Japanese artists. From Japan, legendary animator and designer Keiichi Tanaami contributes a 20 page section of new work. Cartoonists King Terry, Shigeru Sugiura, Yuichi Yokoyama, and Tanioka all are represented with substantial amounts of their work printed in English for the very first time. This nearly 80- page section will be a manga-lover's delight. Also featured in the Japan section is EYE (from the Boredoms). From Canada, Marc Bell, Julie Doucet, Scott Evans, Marc Connery and Destroyer's Dan Bejar will all be featured. From beyond Japanada, artist Jim Shaw contributes a section of his visionary dream drawings, British illustrator Will Sweeney is featured with a brand new comic story, and the issue is filled out by articles on record cover designer Barney Bubbles (The Damned, Elvis Costello), mushrooms, and Steve Gerber (the creator of Howard the Duck).

I don't know where they get their data then, or what's weighted how for their COL. I honestly don't think that list is accurate at all, based on my admittedly limited experiences. I also have friends in Asia and elsewhere who I think would disagree with that ranking, but like I said, whatever. I don't know anybody who "lives" in a hotel room

I thought this was funny. But then I don't live in Tokyo. It's not so expensive... if you're homeless. I wanted to say that it's cheap if you don't leave your flat, but then the rent is so high! My parents were lucky though, great flat and a good deal (2500 dollars or something? probably more)... if you live in Tokyo.

― nathalie, Thursday, 9 August 2007 13:39 (sixteen years ago) link

Yeah, in retrospect that ranking absolutely makes sense. TOMBOT is the new gabbneb.
