May 2008 Archive

Recently, I've just realised that some softwares based on Adobe AIR (this was known as "Adobe APOLLO") are really awesome, at last. Especially this "Adobe Media Player" has really nice interface, beautiful effects, nice contents and so on. I really recommend this!
But we can't watch those MTV videos because of the region cord in Japan! I really wanna watch The CRIBS and The MTV Raps!!! ;(
Whatever, the Japanese version is gonna be launched around this summer.

This is a really nice idea. I didn't notice that there is such a good synergy between Beatport and Youtube. So far, the matching is not so correct because of beta version. However, I expect to this a lot!

"What would it be like to know the vast majority of Generation X and Y has seen you naked? When I saw this photo I was blown away. This is Spencer Elden, the infamous baby chasing a single from Nirvana's Nevermind album cover. He is now 17 and finishing up his final year of high school in LA. It is amazing to think of the part he played in music history without ever having experienced it."

So funny!

BLU is an amazing graffiti artist from Argentina. He's also shooting, editing, and so on. Very very talented. I really love this movie. Amazing.
By the way, this movie reminds me a little bit about Barnstormers' style. Check it out below! ;)

Stussy was my youth. Every time when we were skateboarding, going to some gigs, having a date with girlfriend..., Stussy was there with us. Thx! :P

By the way, do you know the photo retouch software called Adobe Lightroom?
My friends who is a professional photographer taught me about this. I tried and thought it's really great! Try it.

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.

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!
