Tokyo Jazz Festival impresses again
Sitting in a muddy field is taken as par for the course, and possibly even part of the attraction, at major summer festivals like Fuji Rock. But rain would certainly have put a damper on any jazz festival set in the heart of the capital. Luckily, although the clouds threatened to burst on both Saturday and Sunday, the rain mainly stayed away, and thousands of music fans were able to get the most out of the 13th Tokyo Jazz Festival.

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Tokyo: Walking the line
The menswear schedule looked somewhat lacking on paper this season at the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Tokyo. The big names that would normally take the lead in international coverage — namely, Takeshi Osumi's post-Phenomenon project, Mr.Gentleman, or the internationally friendly Whiz Limited — were both absent from the runway or else content to broadcast their collections online. This may have deprived the week of the crop of brands that bounce off and refine that which has already proved palatable to international tastes, but instead left the stage wide open for an altogether more honest face of Tokyo and its fashion to emerge for the international fashion community to see.
