Dear Nettimers, I am a Tokyo-based journalist/multimedia producer. I've just started a cultural web magazine on 'what's going' on Tokyo's scene. It's totally bilingual with English and Japanese (The language will be automatically selected according to your browser's preference). Enjoy! Tetsuya OZAKI Editor in Chief / REALTOKYO ozaki@ realtokyo.co.jp (sorry for any cross posting) ------------------------------------------------------------------ REALTOKYO is Japan's first web magazine to present a variety of cultural information about the Tokyo metropolitan area in both Japanese and English. It is an urban cultural magazine offering carefully selected quality content to Internet users wanting to know what's on in this world city. The sophisticated design and content will appeal to residents of the city and other parts of Japan, as well as English-speaking people throughout the world. Structure of the magazine:---------------------------- 1. Information about films, music events, exhibitions, the theatre and other events in Tokyo. 2. Cultural information dispatched from other world cities. 3. Articles related to cultural issues. 4. Several other sections describing what's currently on in Tokyo. 5. Users can search events by keyword, date and category. 6. A convenient tool for managing a schedule of events chosen by the user. 7. An email service to remind users of events that they have marked on their schedules. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Welcome to the first issue of the web magazine REALTOKYO! 'Never miss an event again' With a single mouseclick, save information on films, concerts, plays, exhibitions, and clubs to your own personal web scheduler. The first issue of the REALTOKYO web magazine was released November 1. Check it out at http://www.realtokyo.co.jp/ Greatly improved content and functionality (especially the search feature!) since the 'preparation issue'. - Tokyo, 4 Weeks Every week REALTOKYO will present an essay on 'recommended events of the month'. Our event advisors will take turns writing each week, but the first will be a special quatro feature by writers in charge of evaluating events in 'Before and After'; Unita Momiich, Sadayacco, Margarita and Mizumoto Akira. Ito Gabin writes about a new ambitious exhibition of Exonemo in the second issue. - RealCities These columns feature news from other world cities by contributors living there. The first issue has reports from Takahata Yuki in Paris, Nomura Shinobu in Berlin, and Kasaki Yasuko in New York. The second issue has a report from Nonaka Momo in London. - Must-see Events Around the World Journalist Fukuda Miki navigates us to significant cultural events taking place in various spots around the world. Traveler or not, this will make you want to take some virtual journeys. - Before and After Fifty or more events chosen by REALTOKYO are evaluated by experts in two ways: in the first they rate their expectations before the event and in the other they give their impressions after it has taken place. REALTOKYO users can join in with their evaluations too. You'll also enjoy high-quality serial articles written by editor in chief Ozaki Tetsuya and publisher Serizawa Takashi. In the second issue, Ozaki writes about the world premiere of cyclo., a new unit consisting of Ikeda Ryoji, who is also sound designer for Dumb Type, and Carsten Nicolai, a.k.a. NOTO, a Grand Prix winner in the digital music section of Ars Electronica 2000, comparing with a recent exhibition of the media artist Iwai Toshio, also a Grand Prix winner in the digital music section of Ars Electronica 1997. And$B%N(B. - Event Scheduler and Reminder Email Service REALTOKYO also offers a free service for keeping you updated on events you want to see using its Event Scheduler and Reminder Email services. Together they offer an easy-to-use method for staying on top of all the exciting events that are happening in this amazing city. We believe that this may be the first service of its kind in the world. REALTOKYO is now open full time to receive event information from users.
