Mizuya Restaurant & Karaoke
The touch screen guy tipped us off. He'd just installed an impressive amount of premium screens at a Japanese restaurant and karaoke bar in the CBD. On this basis we were convinced that Mizuya would be just like Shinjuku; the electric lights, the hidden restaurants, the sweaty microphones. Happily, it's not far off.
The new Cafe Ish
Consulting my learned friend, I found out 'Ish' doesn't actually mean anything in Japanese, negating my assumption regarding the name of the cult-popular original Cafe Ish on Albion Street. So you have to consider that ebonics came into the equation, right? You just have to. Ish, if somewhat crude, makes a lot of sense.
Here and There Volume 9 - Her Life
If you think you are going to understand Here and There magazine in the next 180-200 words, think again. Here and There appears rather than gets published. It is like a dropped diary on the street, highly personal in a way that deserves to be respected, but you don't have to return it to the rightful owner.

Description
This exhibition of new Japanese video artists is a spew of grandeur and will introduce you to an electric alternate breed. There will be screams, vomiting, vacuuming, body hacking and electrical impulses to the face. Heavily bent on the DIY aesthetic, the notion of 'expression' will come in colours you've never seen.
Event: Exhibition
Stimulus: Chaos
Love Grub
It's often difficult to whole-heartedly recommend a cafe. Ultimately, they all do roughly the same thing. Are you really, sincerely, going to tell someone to brave the weekend warriors in Bondi or roll across the bridge or, in this case, navigate Alexandria, for cafe fare and good coffee? I can't, so I'll figure that you're kinda local, or going to the nearby Mitchell Road Auctions, or something.
Monster Men: Bureiko Lullaby
Monster Men is Japanese manga gone septic. Sex with foetuses still in their wombs. Nun rape. A mutated sperm who has daddy issues. Takeshi Nemoto's Monster Men: Bureiko Lullaby, is a squalid cartoon collection, finally translated into English.
The book's central tale takes in the life of a transvestite sperm who, after being ejaculated to life by a masturbating sailor off the deck of a ship into the nuclear burn of an A-bomb test, embarks on a Henry Miller-esque voyage of discovery.
Ghost in The Shell, Soundtrack
We got reaquainted with this amazing soundtrack a few months ago by a friend of ours. The dark and atmospheric score sets the mood to one of the most powerful animes ever made - GHOST IN THE SHELL, directed by Mamoru Oshii. The Wachowski brothers pretty much lifted half of this anime when they put together THE MATRIX, but the one thing they never figured out was the soundtrack.
