An hour in Osaka

[imomus]

Someone called Richard Henderson sent me $7 for the radio piece I made in Kurama last week. 'Just getting round to listening to this,' said the Paypal note, 'fantastic, more of this kind of thing, please. It'd be even better with video! You've already got iMovie, right? Drop a few hundred bucks for a used cam on eBay, and you could release a new documentary/lifeblog snippet with a self-composed soundtrack every couple of days!' Well, daily movies might be a bit of a stretch, but Richard encouraged me to make a new radio piece. This time it's an hour-long ramble around Osaka. You'll hear (and see in your mind's eye) an Australian rabbit giving a guided tour of an art centre called Graf, a bunch of funny Jinglish mottos on girls' T shirts, some tips on killing cockroaches, the lowdown on an up-and-coming district, some thoughts on homelessness, and a serenade by a sad restauranteur. All in glorious low-res mono. Come ramble with me!

Hey Nick - awesome walking tour. I love Osaka and agree with you in that Osakan women are - mysteriously - the most beautiful in Japan. I'm not sure why. I've been told many conflicting stories from my Japanese friends as to why Osakan women are the most beautiful. And an equal number of stories as to why Osakan women are not beautiful at all! However, I'm on your side on this one.

Here's a picture I snapped in New Osaka Station, relating to your radio show.



Cheers!
