Here’s a little fun video I took while hanging out at Tokyo Hackerspace yesterday with Akiba, Deeana and Raphael. Deeana and Raphael have just finished their last leg of their Japan tour and are heading back to New York today. Raphael graciously bought a bunch of components for the Hackerspace. He then proceeded to sort out and cleanup the general mess of electronics that has been hiding in the nether regions of the cupboards.

I’ll hopefully interview them on their trip to Japan for Learn Japanese Pod.

Enjoy.

Tokyo Hacker Space is now running iPhone and iPad programming classes every Monday in Shirokanedai. If you are new to programming, don’t worry because it is for complete beginners.

It costs 1500 yen for non-members of Tokyo Hacker Space.

This is a great opportunity to learn a new skill, create cool software and meet experts in the field. The classes will also be generating new online tutorials which will be posted on the main site.

Please feel free to come along and check out the classes.

Here are two of his songs he’s been working on recently. You can usually find us on Thursday nights at Cozmo’s Cafe in Shibuya. You can see some of our videos here.

Here’s a rocking blast from the past I recorded…I forget how long ago. I’m posting it here to remind myself to get back into the studio and record some more guitar.

For you audio engineering nerds this was done on a lap top using Logic Guitar Amp Pro, not a bad little set up.

Yoroshiku.
