Weekly revue: 2013 week #12 (March 16 to 22)
Last weekend was rather quiet, except that a friend gave birth to a baby girl on March 14, and we went to see her at the hospital! Congratulations! :)
Food: - Lunch at Réfectoire (Le Petit Mec), Harajuku
- Curry at Curry Ohio, Nishi-Ogikubo
- Also, Wednesday was a national holiday and cherry blossoms were already showing up, so we went to have a great picnic with Sunday Bake Shop and friends, at Shinjuku Gyoen. Towards the end it got a bit windy but otherwise the weather was nice and we had a great time! :)
New music: I got Kyary Pamyu Pamyu's new single "Ninjya Re Bang Bang" (digitally this time, for now anyway). I like the lead track, which is full of 8-bit goodness. I'm not yet too sure about the B-side ("Unite Unite"), but I'm happy with the extended mix of "minna no uta", a song that I like a lot from her album. I like how it's a song about getting everyone to clap together, but yet she sings in a voice that sounds a bit uncertain.
Playlist: Vanilla Beans, CTO LAB., hitomitoi, Petset, Cornelius, Minekawa Takako, Perfume, Arasawa Fumika, Hamada Mari, Tarte Tatin, the hair
- I relistened to all of Minekawa Takako's CDs I had on hand ("Roomic Cube" and "fun9" are in Canada...), as I'll be seeing her live this weekend for the first time! Can't wait! "Cloudy Cloud Calculator" still sounds as wonderful as it used to, and I like "Telstar" more than ever.
Music release news: Tucker & Emeson Kitamura, BUBBLE-B feat. Enjo-G, Misola, Kirinji
Gig report: Event "Monochromoon!" w/ Tabuchi Jun, Nosa Lena, Nacional, DeliciouSweets (March 6 at tsukimiru kimiomou)
Tech: I've been confused about what to do since Google Reader will be closing soon (damn!). After trying a bunch of feed readers, the best option seems to be Feedly (thanks to Jean for recommending it!). Feedly also adds a social sharing feature to Firefox and Chrome (a mini toolbar in the bottom right of the browser), and I noticed that it didn't have a mixi Check button so I made a UserScript that adds it in there. Those who want the UserScript can get it here.
This week's video: Old Monk "Telephone Bones"
