As a change is by all accounts as good as a rest, then Tokyo Times should be relatively refreshed after this, its most recent redesign. A modification that one hopes will, at the very least, make it a little easier to read, although as I’m as fickle as Japanese fashion, it may not last seven days, let alone a season.
Still, after cajoling this burly bloke into a comment,
he very kindly belted out a brief, but at the same time still belly bulging, “banzai!â€
Due to an upcoming month long sojourn back to the motherland, Tokyo Times will have something of a summer slowdown from this week. But, while I may be putting my feet up and lounging around a little, the site will continue to be updated — just not quite as regularly that’s all.
A change that means the usual five or six weekly posts will slow down to a somewhat more sedate and suitably summery four, which should be enough to keep things ticking along nicely.
Oh, and, should you have any complaints, I’m afraid to say you’ll have to answer to my PA, and you wouldn’t want a playful little pawing now would you?
Maybe it’s the upcoming festive season, or that the previous form was far from fetching, but with another new look in the space of a month, Tokyo Times is arguably changing as fast as Japanese fads.
Still, with its clean form and colossal Hello Kitty header, this one is a keeper — for now.
Hopefully everything will work, although if there are problems please leave a message or send me a mail. And, in the meantime, here’s a model from the Tokyo Motor Show sporting almost as much white as the site.
Sort of.
Fashion in Japan certainly changes quicker than the face of Tokyo Times, but in a desperate attempt to appear up-to-date, I’ve launched a new look. Hardly a drastic change it has to be said, but it is different — sort of. Miniaturising the Hello Kitty header was a major decision though, and if it’s missed I may have to go back. Basic isn’t always best.
Anyway, hopefully everything will work as it should, but if it doesn’t please leave a comment. And in the meantime, here’s a far more fetching redesign by motor car maker Suzuki. The company’s new model currently making more than a few waves at the Tokyo Motor Show.
Apologies to those who may have seen this picture when it was briefly posted yesterday. A few major issues meant that it quickly had to be yanked, so to speak, until the problems were solved.
