Posts in "A Week in Tokyo"

Attempting to try to bring you more life from Tokyo as it happens using Instagram. All these are posted live from my iPhone to my Facebook, Twitter and now Tumblr. This batch of photos actually taken over 2 days. I *usually* try to post Instagram p...

Been playing around with Instagram of late - the mobile app that allows you to easily snap and share to multiple social networks. I currently use it to update my Facebook and Twitter. It really is hard finding time these days to just sit down and wr...

The A Week in Tokyo series started back in 2007 - the purpose was to help me keep a log of my life and to share what life is like in Japan with folks around the world. 2007 was when I started up my company Mirai Inc and if you read through the serie...

More slice of life in Tokyo. Eventful day today where I head to meet with many folks from Sanrio (the Hello Kitty peeps) and also learned loads about the licensing business in Japan which I will talk about when the timing is right. Starting off at lu...

More life in Tokyo through photos. Photos taken throughout today on the Sony NEX-5N with Zeiss Sonnar f1.8 24mm lens. This snap taken at Gotanda [五反田] during lunch. The Rollerblades have been an incredible time saving tool. Have only fallen over o...

I thought I couldn't get any busier during the last quarter of 2011 when I was in the middle of producing Culture Japan Season 2. Was hoping to make it to January alive where I could take a couple of days break. Now that its January however, its bee...

Recording 2 studio episodes for Culture Japan with my AFA co-host Yoshimi in the office - and had a few readers come to join in on the fun n games. Filming for most of the day and then its off to treat everybody to a well earned dinner. Can you recog...

Photos taken throughout today on the Sony NEX-5N which just came back from repairs. Wee too much going on of late with most of my time taken up with TV production of Culture Japan. Season 2 comes to an end December 24 - hope I can make it to the new...

Today we cover life in Tokyo since I got back from Los Angeles. Awaiting me back in Tokyo was a hideous amount of work that piled up during my 3 week absence ^^; Currently in the middle of Culture Japan Season 2 production. Last time I directed and p...

This photo post covers life in Tokyo since A Week in Tokyo 66. Spent a week in Shanghai before arriving back in Tokyo to prepare for a long trip abroad to France, Germany and Los Angeles. Needed to do a load of prep work before the trip so I reduced...

Better late than never I guess ^^; Today we look at life in Tokyo leading up to when I left for Shanghai. Before I leave for France, hopefully I'll get time to post events have happened since I got back from Shanghai. First photo - taken nearby our...

Looks like I left it for over a month this time ToT I'm sure one day I'll actually be able to write these every week like I did back when I started the A Week in Tokyo series back in 2007. Maybe when I retire? ^^;

Its been 2 weeks since the Tohoku-Kanto Earthquake hit Japan and today we'll take a look at whats been happening in Tokyo since then. First photo taken in a small street near our station - we've got a load of streets around here full of personality.

Time passes. Life is over before we know it. Not afraid to die but am afraid of dying without achieving anything. We must achieve that something before we kick the bucket! Didn't leave it as long as last time but still late ^^; After a load of plann...

One of my goals this year is to get round to writing the A Week in Tokyo more often ^^; As usual am late and the last time I wrote this was just before Christmas. Today we start off with a photo around my neck of the woods. There are a load of buildi...

Had a health checkup this time last year and wrote about it in the Health Care in Japan article. "You never know until you ask" has been a motto I've been religiously following and this time asked if I could bring my camera to take pics of the medic...

Looks like I'm only getting round to doing these once a month ToT. Will try to do the next one again within a week before this series gets renamed "A Month in Tokyo" ^^; Today we look at everything that happened up to my arrival back in Tokyo after a...

Yikes. Looks like I left it another month since the last installment of A Week in Tokyo. Have completely lost track of time and find myself regularly looking up the current day of week/date/month ^^; What century is this? Anyway, been constantly thi...

I feel like I'm in some sort of time tunnel. So much has been going on that I loose track of what day of the week it is. Just finished 6 days of filming for Culture Japan. When I got home yesterday it felt like a Friday but this morning I thought it...

Been trying to comprehend how so much has happened over the past few weeks - the sands of time are running out fast! This installment of A Week in Tokyo is very late and covers some of whats been going on since we got back from Anime Expo. The first...

Photos from the week leading up to Anime Expo 2010. Lots of food and outdoor pics as I had a load of external meetings before the trip to LA - the last week before a trip overseas is always packed with meetings n wot not - the reason being so that I...

A couple of weeks late but not as bad as last time - the latest installment of A Week in Tokyo. Been spending much time thinking about all the things I want to achieve in the remainder of my short life. The catch is that I don't know how much time I...

Please forgive me once again for yet another late installation of A Week in Tokyo. Since we last spoke, had a trip to the UK, France, Malaysia and came back to Japan to start work on producing a TV show called Culture:Japan and soon its off on the pl...

Writing up this A Week in Tokyo 53 part 2 on the plane back to Tokyo. Starting off with a glimpse of a Tokyo 2.0 event hosted by Steve Nagata which I'll cover later on in the post.
