TOFU MORNING

I went to Nezu all the way down to have 

this special TOFU breakfast with my friend, around 9 AM.

There is this train-shaped bookshelf called 

"NEZU METRO LITTLE BOOKSHELF" in the metro station,

people feel free to borrow books from here,

 I guess all the metro stations should have each of those that would be much fun! 

only Japanese soy beans are used, even costs just 890 yen. 

healthy, delicious, and reasonable. not bad at all. 

"Please call a police if you see someone climbing this wall"

At night, city looked different through the car pane.

... My friend gave me a call and asked me to drive to Roppongi together. 

She picked me up at Asagaya Station and we went through Shinjuku Nishiguchi, 

finally arrived at  Roppongi Hills. We had some sushi rolls there.

I wonder what always makes me so excited just to be on a car in Tokyo.

I thought that may be because it reminds me of a scene of Lost In Translation 

but probably not.

Hot Spring in the far west Tokyo.

Unfortunately, the place we were supposed to go was, 

though it took 2hrs and more than 9 bucks, closed,

but still we had some warm good "Kamameshi", 

the hot pot mixed rice, and were able to see beautiful 

autumn leaves in the rain,prayed in the shrine of romance,

and nice outside hot spring(the view wasn't the greatest tho).

the water in the river looked completely clear and pure,

and so was the air! it was so refreshing, it is almost unbelievable 

that it is still Tokyo!Tokyo is vast.

good bye and see you sometime

Boutique Mon, 

where I had worked for a year is closing this month.

I Loved it when polishing 

some pairs of Pierre Cardin's vintage boots,

listening to Donovan and all the other 60-70's music as BGM. 

Lemon Milk or such.

This is a sort of milk 

which is very very sweet and tasting lemon. 

assuming it is very common around Tochigi region.

though I never had it (even heard of it!) before, 

I very much felt like I had had it 

when I was infant for some reason.

You and Me and Everyone We Know

colourful. sensuous. touching.

really, really love this film.

<3

my favourite fluffy creatures.

 he at the sudden darted off at full speed... still he looks so carefree and easygoing as usual.

How fluffy are they!

ADOREBLE.

"Welcome to the Pandemonium"(Yes, it is in shrine!)

Once a year, at a shrine located in the centre of Shinjuku,

one of the most crowded districts in Tokyo,

 there is a festival for the prosperious business,

 thousands of people coming...

 ...and there is a "Freak Show" still going on here..

I cant tell what was going on inside..

it is too cruel yet fescinating and beautiful.

you have to come if you REALLY want to know. 

but it deserves. for sure.

waseda-sai the school annual festival 2010

I saw the band called Triple Fire (http://triplefire.aikotoba.jp/top.htm) there and afterwards i went to see DE DE MOUSE and Zazen Boyz which I concluded that I neither like.

abondoned fortress.

i cannot help being enchanted by these ruins just because

they seem to establish its autonomy as "pure" architecture

after forgotten and away from the practical use of humans.

underground wonderland

Mystical dungeon of tranquility only 2.5 hours away from Tokyo.

"the difinition of self" exhibition at Midtown, Roppongi



there is this gate which judges oneself

"socially" and "objectively" by a sort of special camera, 

whether he/she is men or women, over 30 or under, smiling or blank.

however i tried real hard to smile at the last gate,

i ended up to be judged to be blank,

which made me a bit sad.

there is also a computer exhibited,

of a renowned(?) Japanese composer Cornelius.

which does not look too special ;)

diskunion in a while.

i got two new CDs very reasonable here.

Bishop Allen and The Broken String

They shoot, We Score/Yo la tengo

this is a soundtrack for 4 independent films,

and most of the tunes are yet released in their original albums.

this film, Junebug, is NOT shown in Japan.

such facts always annoy me so bad.

...i end up realized that this is really where i belong.

Diskunion Shinjuku, Floor 6, alternative/indie rock.

NOT small music in Koenji.
