Dear reader,

As we're approaching our first big event, the RT staff has moved from daily web
magazine publishing to event preparations. As a result, we have far less 
time available
for updating REALTOKYO, as a result of which in the last 1-2 weeks event 
information
has become a little thinner, and columns less frequently updated.
We hope you recognize this as a mere, temporary shift in activities, since 
with the
upcoming REALTOKYO MARKET we are going as REAL as never before, and I think
the items and information you will find at this unique event will make up 
for things you
might have found missing on RT recently.

See you this weekend!

Andreas
Vice editor-in-chief

Ozaki Tetsuya (editor-in-chief of REALTOKYO)

Vol. 046: Kobayashi Yoshinori and the Manipulation of Images

Before closing down the BBS section [on war/terrorism], and for those who 
haven't
read my own recent entry, allow me to quote myself here. I'd like to talk 
about an
interesting story that is neither directly connected with "9.11" or the 
following
assaults on Afghanistan, nor problems such as the continued Middle-East crisis.
It's a certain aspect of 'image manipulation' that I discovered after one 
reader
expressed doubts concerning the illustrated book "One Hundred Years of Idiocy,"
which I helped create as the editorial director. The reader pointed out 
that there are
powerful theories saying that the photograph of an abandoned, crying baby 
in the
rubble of a war scenery was acted and manipulated, along with the question
whether we knew about that when we decided to include the photo in our book.

Vol. 035: Hirota Joji

Hirota Joji is a composer and performer who has been living in London for 
30 years.
He came to Japan last year as a percussionist for the Royal Shakespeare 
Company,
and is appearing regularly as a Japanese representative in Peter Gabriel's 
"WOMAD"
festival.

REALTOKYO MARKET

It's been almost two years now since the launch of REALTOKYO, and since 
it's not
satisfactory anymore to operate only online, we decided to go out and 
conquer the
streets. For two days REALTOKYO presents a unique, select-shop kind of market
event. On display and for sale will be CDs, records, books, videos, fashion 
and art
goods, but also bonsai trees, vegetables, and other items that represent in 
one way
or another the RT staff's taste. During the two days of the event you'll be 
able to meet
our editor-in-chief as well as newly arrived contributors, and above this 
many of the
artists, label owners, event organizers, etc. that REALTOKYO has paid special
attention to in the past. Among the articles sold at the market you'll find 
many limited
items that aren't available anywhere else in Japan (or even the world!), so 
drop in for
a moment or two and explore, look, listen, chat, shop...
