I was in Tokyo for six days last week, meeting with other scholars and visiting archives and bookstores. I also had a chance to get together with the good people at [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Now that her band Tokyo Incidents is history, Shiina Ringo isn&#8217;t standing still. She has a new single out, &#8220;Jiyu e michizure,&#8221; in which she taps into her punky shrieking-guitars vein. I kinda like it: J-Rock veterans Grapevine will be providing a free live Ustream feed on May 2 of the final date from their [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week, we attended a terrific sold-out show by Rodrigo y Gabriela at the Chicago Theatre. For the most part, I agree with Greg Kot&#8217;s concert review in the Chicago Tribune. The concert began with the duo backed by a band of supporting musicians from Cuba&#8211;but a bad mix often drowned out the guitars, especially [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In my book, Sayonara Amerika, Sayonara Nippon: A Geopolitical Pre-History of J-Pop, I trace the hints of coming revolution that seemed to reverberate within guitar noise in Japan circa 1968&#8211;and the ultimate absorption of that political edge into the new commercialism of 1970s rock. My primary focus in that section of the book is on [...]]]></description>

This is the annual one-day event organized by Yellow Magic Orchestra, with YMO as headliners and a changing roster of supporting artists, all hand-picked by YMO. We very much enjoyed [...]]]></description>

I did a little web surfing after getting home and learned that it is now available on DVD in North America. It&#8217;s a funny, cartoonish (not surprising, [...]]]></description>
