About Us

Planet Tokyo… it’s place not very far
In your stereo… it’s as close as where you are
On the radio… it’s a sound that you can see
Planet Tokyo… it’s the place you want to be

Tokyo has captured our imaginations with its kawaii kogals and j-pop idols, trendy shopping districts and cool street fashion, rotating sushi tables and hi-tech cell phones and so much more.  This site is about the Tokyo lifestyle through fashion and urban culture.  In much the same way that Hip Hop grew out of New York and spread around the world, pop culture out of Tokyo is the next wave.  If its cute and cool in Tokyo, we’ll tell you about it.

Our site is divided into three main categories, each with subcategories.

Fashion:
Interview – interviews with people about fashion
Trends – what’s hot and where to get it
Snaps – photos of Tokyo style
Accessories – latest info on accessorizing your look

Living:
Shop – info on cool stores
Living Spaces – tips on interior design
Eats – food and restaurants
Do It Yourself – for crafties and d.i.y.ers

Culture:
Art – Japan-inspired art
Film – cool Japanese films
Music – hot Japanese music
Book – novels and books about Japan
