the guy playing the guitar song in the movie Kill Bill. He’s from Boowy.

Can’t help falling in love by Glove

Tyyyypiskt 90s j pop with high pitch voice and catchy melody. I think TK was the late 90s j pop

Blue Tears by Judy and Mary

she is electric.

mmm now I feel like going to karaoke all night. Of course all you can drink, all you can eat ice cream included…   well, j pop is all about the japaneseness. you shouldn’t expect a good quality. if you want the high quality music, you have it in sweden jag ska åka se Radio Dept imorgon Yay!

the new trend in Tokyo for boys is : Skirt!

the mode fashion style boys (boys in aoyama, omotesando and urahara if I categorize) started wearing legins a while ago and now skirts. the tokyo fashion doesn’t have any rules unless you wear them cool.

Lately the mode style girls look like skinny boys and the boys look like tall girls in Tokyo.the girls wear over-sized clothes so that they look cute and skinny, the boys wear legins and high heels because it’s simply good looking. the time of unisex has started from the fashion culture.

(all the pictures are of boys.)

There was a graduation exhibition of Tokyo Uni of Art a week ago. this is graduation work of a studen from Architecture course. It reminded me of Stockholm somehow.

I think there’s no point to live in Tokyo where too many peole live, the trains are packed all the time and a lot of people are looking like back ground, if people are lazy. It’s same as living in a country side if we never go out than work. But if people can force themselves to be energetic to go here and there even after work, Tokyo is a totally super big city with too much things going on to check out, and I think that is the reason to live here. Stay tuned and stay busy if you have  a chance to come here, too many temporary scenes to check out, like art exhibiton is always held all over the city and events and everyday everywhere if people try to catch those information!

Only Japanese people can think of inventing ” Sparkling Chocolate ” flavored drink. None of my friends liked it but everybody says it smells like real chocolate. that doesn’t sound attractive faktiskt….

Went to a party of the 20th anniversary of the PUMP at Mado Lounge in Roppongi!

The place is on the top floor of Roppongi Hills with super cool view over Tokyo! It also have club events often so you should check this place out when you come to Tokyo. There were model of designed pump shoes for each city, and this one was for Berlin. For Sweden, they have coraborated with SNS. det  var soft ! live dj + pump + interesting people!

BAPE STORE IN SHIBUYA!

The lights are always flickering! posh/hip hop shop. strange combination! and the shoes are below thick glass, so we can walk over the glass which is over the shoes over the flickering floor! feels like being in a game… tetris or something…
