Sony celebrates 40 years of Walkman in Tokyo – The Verge

Comment

The Sony Walkman TPS-L2 was released 40 years ago this summer, forever changing the way the world listened to music. It became arguably the most iconic brand in Sony’s history, with hundreds of devices bearing the name and continuing to be released today.To celebrate the Walkman’s legacy, Sony held an exhibit in Tokyo until this week called “Walkman in the Park.” The venue is Ginza Sony Park, a new public space that sits on the site of the iconic old Sony building that was recently demolished; another Sony building will be constructed here next year.

The Restaurant of Mistaken Orders

Comment

 

The servers at The Restaurant of Mistaken Orders, a series of pop-up restaurants in Tokyo, are all living with dementia, which means that you might not receive what you ordered.All of our servers are people living with dementia. They may, or may not, get your order right.However, rest assured that even if your order is mistaken, everything on our menu is delicious and one of a kind. This, we guarantee.“It’s OK if my order was wrong. It tastes so good anyway.” We hope this feeling of openness and understanding will spread across Japan and through the world.At the first pop-up, 37% of the orders were mistaken. This video explains a bit more about the concept and shows the restaurant in action.

Supreme’s new feature phone is for hypebeasts only – The Verge

Comment

A 3G feature phone with a massive Supreme logo.

ive been trying to get a working feature(ish) phone, with google maps and Spotify. my latest attempt was a Japanese domestic Sharp Aquos Keitai 2 flip phone. it is awesome, long battery, but unfortunately I can’t do security updates on it without a y!mobile sim on a Japanese domestic network… and no app installs.

I might revisit and see if I can install custom firmware or something… but for now, its calls and Line only.
