 From New York: Susan Sontag on Japanese Film
by Kurosawa Leica

With temperatured dropping as low as minus 12 degrees, New York
is experiencing a cold season where icebreakers working their
ways up and down the frozen Hudson River. On January 24th a lecture
where Susan Sontag introduced eight Japanese movies she holds
important as classics was held at the Japan Society, opening a
series titled "Critic's Choice: Susan Sontag on Japanese Film."
The event saw Sontag standing behind the microphone and
enthusiastically talking about the 'golden age' of Japanese cinema.

(2) Tokyo Editors' Diary

Nakanishi Daisuke ("Little More" magazine) vol. 007

I'm visiting Club Quattro in Shibuya to see Harco's concert.
As promised, I help distribute matches Yamazaki Yukari created
instead of a flyer to advertise Kuki Kodan's "Oto no tenji 2003"
event after the show. Although I readily offered my assistance,
on the inside I'm a little scared of making a fool of myself in
case we get stopped by a supervisor, as in some venues they're
watching really carefully (Yamazaki-san has no problem with that,
she's still young...). But then a powerful helper suddenly surfaces.
Fujita Osamu from the "ficciones" bookshop in Shimokitazawa, who
was also in the audience, happens to be something like a relative
to the Kuki Kodan troupe. Together we manage to distribute about
200 pieces, and with a couple of drinks the three of us have after
that Fujita explains his views on literature and others.

(3) Event Pick of the Week
===============================================================

Timepieces & Insector Labo presents Tied#4

This event is presented by two Tokyo labels that have both just
released new EPs in January, Timepieces and Insector Labo. What
awaits visitors to this party are gradually building instrumentals
and deep, reverberating soundscapes that make one imagine Balinese
gamelan players doing trance. Although the two labels share a basic
concept, their music's styles range from earthy, percussive
breakbeats to subtle downtempo numbers. I suggest you first try
and listen to some sound samples on their web sites (links on the
Details page), which will surely make you want to go and see how
that sounds live.
