My man Maco-chan's Video Jockey posse called "Heartbomb" rocks! I really love this one. Awesome!
He and I went to the same art university. We also were the members of a graffiti crew at that time.
I remember all the good time when we had before... Yahman!

I believe so. This rumor about his death must be a plot of the US government.

Someday, I wanna be a great thief for my mom.

This is an incredible self-customizable-good-design-internet radio. It's a little hard to find really underground songs, but anyway there are many many songs in here. Of course these songs are full-length, and this service is completely legal, whatever.
But you gotta select 45 songs though (if you push the button "I'm lazy", then the list will be filled automatically).
Try!

I found a very talented Canadian artist. Everything's oil paintings. Very beautiful colors, huh? I want one for my bedroom.

Friday night, I went to a party at club Macao which is in Sen-nichimae, Osaka.
Actually, when I was in Tokyo, all my friends who had come from Osaka said about club Macao "There's an unbelievably crazy place in Osaka! You should go there!". So I was really interested in this place, but I'd had no chance to be there.
Then my friend told me that the place's gonna close soon! Yeah, Friday was the closing party (actually, I heard that the party was continuing till 6 PM on Sunday...).

That was a very amazing night. I totally enjoyed myself and met a lot of old friends.
I really regretted that I went there for the first time on closing night!

It is very strange. Is this story true? Why they didn't notice that before?

Corporate World Meet Web2.0
I love this joke very much. Esp the AC/DC and the fruit (t-shirts) ones. Certainly, almost every recent logos look very bright and reflect to the floor.

Actually I've had a very sad news recently. A person at my old company's who was a coworker has died by a traffic accident. He was a totally good person. So happy, laughing all the time, and very warm...
We were working together making some websites and ads. He was a very talented producer.
And now, I've just remembered this essay. I was introduced to this by my friend who is a copywriter, when I was working in my old company with him. And I've been very influenced by this since then.
So this essay makes me remember that era, and that era makes me remember this essay.
I want everyone to read this, if you are making something. It might effect to your creative thinking I think.
Well, He and I were making something together, and got a lot of things from that experiences. I really wanna say thank you so much to him.
Rest in peace...

This is my skratch teacher DJ YASA's routine at the final round of DMC world championship 2006 in London!! Check this out.

Recently, I'm really into Myspace. lol
I didn't know that this was so much fun. Actually I had left this page for almost half year.
I thought this was just a normal SNS like Mixi or something, but the system is totally different. I mean, there are a lot of possibilities for customizing because the programming is not perfect!
I've not customized so much yet though, but I'm gonna try little by little.
And the concept of adding friends is totally different with Mixi. It's just same as type of community. Basically, It's just showing that what's kinda celebrities I'm interested in. It means that there are almost no real friends (In reality, if I wanna have a real relationship with those "friends", it's not so easy).
Anyway this concept of SNS was so fresh and fun for me.

Whatever, add me to your friends!

Mom just give me a Pepsi please
All I want is a Pepsi, and she wouldn't give it to me
All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi, and she wouldn't give it to me.
Just a Pepsi...

What is Hip Hop?

Oh my! These are dazzlingly cool! SO-SO-SO-SO-SO why does it gotta be so damn HO-HO-HOT-HOT-HOT???
...But this page is supposed to be divided into 10 pages at least. Too fxxkin' heavy yo! lol

Recently, Flash source codes (Action Script) have become totally complicated. That means, writing scripts from the beginning is getting meaningless. If someone writes this kinda base source only once, we can share and customize it.
This idea is not brand-new at all. We've called it as "Open Source" in the internet industry already.
But in Flash world, it is one of the very fresh movements I guess (but yeah, some designers for example Joshua Davis, they've already shared their Action Script since a long time before. But it's a rare case. Isn't it?).
I think, sometimes this kind of things are called "Web 2.0", "Mush up" or something like those kinda words (usually mixed with XML, Javascript...). But I still don't understand exactly the meaning of that yet.
I just wanna call it as "Lazy Way" instead (of course it's a good meaning!). lol

I made a simple example by this.

I've learned the Crescent Orbit yesterday. Yasa actually uses this combo in his freestyle a lot. The sound is so simple but very dopey yo. If you mix up with the normal Orbit like this diagram, you can make a very funky rhythm. But for me, to insert this combo to a beat perfectly is not easy at all. Gotta practice a lot!

My friend James came to Kyoto from Tokyo yesterday.
We hung out in a club till 6 am with another two of his friends, Dylan and Takashi.
They are very talented persons, I have been influenced with their ways of thinking very much.
Dylan made his own game company in Kyoto. Guess what, he made the "StarFox" when he was a teenager! Yeah, he's kinda genius...
And Takashi is working in Nintendo's Frankfurt branch office.
We talked deeply about the details of the game industry. I got to know a lot of stories behind such totally interesting things about video games.
Well, after eating, we drank sooooo much in the club as usual!! They are British (even Takashi was living in London for more than 10 years), so they were drinking an unbelievably amount of alcohol!
I'd reached my place around 8 am... And still feeling drunk... zzz

I just wanna eat this.

Happy New Year!! Yesterday, couple of my friends came to my place to stay from Tokyo. They just went back now. I was really enjoying this Shogatsu (New year). We went to a temple and drank, went to Kobe and drank a lot more, hanging out around Shinsaibashi and drank and drank... Year, I'm so drunk now. Why not? ;P I wanna make this year very nice. I'm gonna do my best to study hard. And stop drinking so much. Well, you all have an amazingly happy year and let's get drank!! lol
