I have been busy with various matters for some time. I have done some redesign and clean up on the site. I hope to get back into updating the website on a regular basis, mainly adding new recommended titles on a weekly basis as well as adding a new supplement page in November. The new supplement will be for my forthcoming book Tokyo Stroll, November is the e-book release with a print release coming in February. Today I can announce an addition to my Recommended Japanese Live Action Cinema page. A new entry for the 2007 film Adrift in Tokyo.
