NiGHTS! NiGHTS! NiGHTS? Today, I went to Tokyo Game Show 2007 to see the Video game, NiGHTS. Original NiGHTS was released from Sega sonic team in 1996 for Sega Saturn platform. Sega Saturn had analog controller in their optional peripheral, first. And NiGHT teached us that how funny the analog feeling. ( After that, SCE make analog controller as their standard controller, Nintendo and SEGA followed. ) And this winter, NiGHTS’ll be back! I played the playable demo. New NiGHTS is very similar to old one, But you may mind the controller’s difference, ( Sega and SCE’s analog controller have circle shaped edge, but Nintendo’s is Octagon. ) and I […]

Last week, I went to see the skate boad park in Yoyogi Park. The park was sponcered by NIKE and kept for the week only. After that, I went to laten music event in the valley of Roppongi hills Buildings. Salsa dance workshop was helded in the program. Lot of the peoples enjoyed the dance freely! It’s very important that a company make a space for such as minor cultures. If you want to keep a skateboarding in Tokyo, it’s not a easy way. Tokyo is not a small city, but too many inhabitants in there. And peoples keep their entitlement each other. You may make agreements and rules for […]

I got the Transformable Ball, latest Hoberman designed toy. Hoberman Designs was formed by Chuck Hoberman at 1995. And he made his name as Toy Designer by Very Expandable Sphere. http://hoberman.com/fold/Sphere/sphere.htm The Sphere’s function is expanding from 9″ to 30″ in diameter, that’s all. But everyone’s attention was engaged by the instructions and the geometry. Originally, He is a famous Architect. He made some of the Transformable Dome Architectures. The link is for Iris Dome at The Museum of Modern Art, at New York. http://www.hoberman.com/site/architecture/iris2.html They are trying to find new possibilities for product function by their transformation. That’s Idea is similar to my chair. I used furniture transformation to […]

I started to make this year’s my chair. And I tryed to design have an elegant round shaped one. But the elegance was incompatible with my gimmick. At last, it became a flop… I need my elegance :-P

Last night I took Juri-san’s pictures. When you take a picture, if you light an object directly, the object got a high light and heavily shade. But I wanted to use more soft light and shade. Usually for the purpose, Diffuser is used but it’s very expencive. My motive was to know my needs to use a such as expencive products or not. I putted a cheap white umbrella (instead of the expencive Diffuser) in front of my Flash Unit. The way looks so good :-) But Juri-san looks so bad.

Atemoya is a tropical fruit known as vanilla taste. Last week, I founded it at supermarket in Tokyo Midtown. It was very expencive, @$5, but I tryed. When I got it, It had bright green colour like a Star Fruit. Five days after, the Picture, looks so bad. But it was fit to eat. I felt the taste is not a vanilla, regrettably. But like a blend of mango and papaya, sweet and delicious. When you find it, let’s try! アテモヤを買って食べてみました。たしか１個500円ちょいくらい。 マンゴーとパパイヤのあいだって感じだけど アマくてウマかったデス。 Wikipedia: Atemoya http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atemoya

Last Friday, I went to Fuji Speedway Circuit to watch the Super GT championship. Fiji Speedway is the site for this year’s F1 Granprix in Japan. ( Moved from Suzuka by TOYOTA’s Power ;-) And nearest big circuit from Tokyo. Super GT is production car race. Most of the parts was replaced and original parts may only cavin’s frame, but they keep the design as well known production car’s shape. In the 500 hourses powered upper class, not only privateer teams but works team, Honda, Nissan and Toyota invest for it. On the other the 300 houses powered lower class, to be much more varied types of cars entered from […]
