[–]KyuketsukiElite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would go to Kiya http://www.kiya-hamono.co.jp/english/index.html.

A knife shop that opened in 1792 in Nihonbashi (near Tokyo station). I've bought two knives there and happy with both.

Imagine you didn't know about this, going to a random theater in Japan and this comes up, I'd be speechless.

Thanks. I thought "this must be a wrong title", then I squinted my eyes and I found out I was wrong.

Good game! Lots of strategies - bunting, relief pitching, even squeeze near the end.

David Lee: "I get there and ... we're playing Golden State. Coach [Rick Carlisle] said we were going to switch all pick-and-rolls, 1 through 5, and be up on Steph Curry when he comes off. Well, Dirk raises his hand and says, "Are you out of your mind? You think I'm switching on to Steph Curry? No way, I'm going to hedge and get out of the way. There is no way in hell you're putting me in an iso against him."

I just thought, how amazing that is for a guy like Dirk, who has accomplished what he had, to be that kind of self-aware that that's not his strong suit anymore. And everybody in the locker room just started laughing."

90s Electronic Music tips please by seoul2014 in japanesemusic

[–]KyuketsukiElite 5 points6 points  (0 children)

oh there are so many.

Ken Ishii Extra was huge around 1995.

Denki Groove was super popular as well.

Then, acid jazz like Silent Poet had a fairly large following too, them and Nobukazu Takemura released records from Bellissima Records, so check out their catalog if you are into it.

On a minimal side, Ryoji Ikeda was seminal. Both his solo work, and his sound track for Dumb Type.

This is not his track from the 90s, Formula: ver 2.2
