COVER INTERVIEW WITH TAKESHI HAMADA
A graphic designer Takeshi Hamada made a cover design for
this issue. I guess not many people knows that it is Japanese
who makes this statelessness magazine "Tiger".
Not only a production of "Tiger", but also he creates works for
overseas magazines and his working place is now world
widely expanding. He participates in the web cinema "Trunk"
as an art director as well.
SOUND REPUBLIC VOL.4
The fourth round of "Sound Republic" was held at Think Zone
in Roppongi, Tokyo on the 1st of March under the theme
"collaboration with the electro media and creators from
various genres." There was a downpour on the event day but
the number of visitors reached to about 900 and they enjoyed
a mixed space of high quality sounds and motions.
Featuring artists are Funkstorung, Akufen, Unit9, Fixer, Klock,
Jonny Hardstaff and others.
DOT SOSO#12 FEAT. ATSUSHI TOYAMA
"Dot Soso" is a creative event where you can enjoy a creative

Toyama from Tokyo. From illustrations for magazines, such
as "Casa Brutus" and "relax", producing home pages to
editorial designs (magazines, books etc.), he is making
various works. A collaboration with Ado Mizumori at "Versus
Exhibition 2001" (at Shibuya Parco) was very prosperous. He
must be a new and powerful illustrator you have to put your
keen eyes on.
