^ It should be, it costs him 4,000,000 yen a month.

Watched a bit od Bape TV in Tokyo the other night....bapesta wrestling was on it.

Unless you're a hardcore wrestling fan, it's complete shit. Shameless promotion, but then again, wrestling is big business for the young generation in Japan, so once again Nigo comes up trumps.

Yeah mate, always good to get that first day out of the way.

Who ya working for anyway?

soon. All I know is that since the last camp out at the Bape store in NYC. They are trying to keep the drop date as hush as possible.

Same in Tokyo.

These were all released mid-week......hush-hush.

BWS and Bapexclusive have had a lot of midweek releases recently.

Personally, I don't rate the kaws camo.

^ To be honest, I thought they all looked a bit shit.

In the pics they look pretty cool, bu in the flesh I7d rather stick the bape camo released earlier this year.

Pics I posted on Crooked Tongues:

Just saw the bapexkaws camo hoodies in the flesh in Tokyo......shit, a bit gawdy imo.

There's another forum about teaching in Japan somewhere here.

Plus:

www.gaijinpot.com

http://classifieds.japantoday.com plus their forum section

Failing that, mail me.

There's one in Harajuku.

The missus dragged me there on one of her many shopping sprees....

I've liked stussy since I bought my first tee back in '90....although, the S/S '05 collection over here in Tokyo is piss-poor imo.

Never really felt Supreme stuff, although some of the jackets are pretty cool. But Supreme is a bit pricey in Tokyo.

You've wracked up 67 posts in a matter of weeks...not bad for someone with such strong views against the internet.

^Ebay gave Evisu a bit of a battering, too.

bape x good charlotte...can't see the sense.

Some of the colab. designs have been poor lately, but there are still some good things comin' from bape.

I picked up the beige skull stas and tomorrow the blue camo full-zip hoody is rumoured to be released in BWS Tokyo. I'm chasin' that.

What you coming here for sugarboots?

Work, study?

Got here last sunday...

www.stay246.com has possibly the best selection, but I`m not sure if they ship outside Japan.

conceptshop.com.hk has good selections too.

I`m in Japan now, so gimme a shout if you are lookin for something in particular.

I'm goin' to Tokyo on saturday.

Checked your site.

You Japanese, my man?

For a large city like Tokyo, the banks aren't open for long hours...if I recall, they close around 3-4pm and are closed weekends.

ATM's are usually a little more accessible, though.

A bank account is a must if you wanna get a mobile phone. My job paid cash in hand, so I only opened an account for a phone.

However, I did bring a lot of cash with me and it did put my mind at ease depositing it.

I suggest you bring as much cash as possible and deposit in to a Japanese bank.

I never used Citibank, so I can't give you much info on that.

My account was with Mizuho bank in Tokyo.

Some of the cities series have dropped in Foot Patrol, London.

Word has it, the Tokyo's are sold out....

....haven't been down myself, prob. sat, but the Tokyo's are sweet.

Thought you'd like it!

You're spot-on. You need a good few hours to sort through the clothing. Some of the deadstock shit they've got there is crazy money!!

I've found a few great places in Harajuku. Buy 'Smart' magazine, they've got all the ads in there for the shops.

And in Ebisu, on the same street as the EVISU store, there are some ok used stores. Worth a look.

Most played this week, in no order:

The Stooges - Funhouse

Tim Love Lee - Continuing confessions

The Hives - Tyrannosaurus Hives

Curtis Mayfield - Superfly

David Holmes - Come get, I got it

Beastie Boys - 5 Boroughs

Ian Brown - Solarized

Shuggie Otis - Inspiration Information

For Dior and Gucci, you might wanna check out Ginza area.

And Harajuku is always worth a look.

Dunno if you guys have checked this out. They've got pics of 34 designs.

And Dolo, how many ya re-selling?

You might wanna check out the forums on crookedtongues......they've got a lot to say

What were the retail prices of some of the 35's?
