A young babyfaced prostitute drifts through the sharp-edged world of kinky sex. An older callgirl in the agency schools her on the trade. Numbed by drugs she encounters a string of wealthy johns with bizarre fantasies. Her own fantasy about love leads Ai away from the skin trade and on the trail of a married artist.

Their 2006 EP, "A Lesson In Crime", elicited raves from Entertainment Weekly, Rolling Stone, Interview, Blender, and Nylon, among others. Since then, TPC have been touring virtually nonstop, pausing only to release last year's "Smith" EP and the digital-only single, "Your English Is Good." Now Ontario's favorite sons offer their first full-length.

A touch of color! Tokyo Flash watches are coveted for their spectacular original digital animation style. Add a designer touch to your daily attire with a flashion watch.

Bring your style up to date with the Barcode watch for men by Tokyo Flash. This tech-savvy, "flashionable" watch indicates the time with white LEDs shining in binary code. Not only does it tell time, it has a light-up function that starts at 6 p.m. and goes on every minute until 1 a.m. The 32-millimeter black ion-plated stainless steel case and matching bezel house an AM-PM indicator, date-and-date calendar, and light-up function. For long-lasting comfort, the black band is constructed from ion-plated stainless steel and fastens with a fold-over clasp with double push-button safety. This digital-quartz-powered watch is a hip addition to any night on the town, and is backed by a 1-year manufacturer's warranty.

This is the updated third edition of an atlas first published in 1998. During the past six years, the transportation network of the metropolitan area of Tokyo has changed a good deal. In the case of the subway system, lines have been extended, and some rapid-transit lines have been added, so code numbers for each station are given in our atlas for foreign travelers to identify them easily. In addition, as a result of urban development in areas such as Roppongi, Shinagawa, and Shiodome, quite a few new company buildings, stores, and hotels have appeared. These developments are also covered in this updated edition.
- 21 area maps of Metropolitan Tokyo (42 pages) showing not only chome numbers but also block numbers (banchi).
- 18 detailed maps of Central Tokyo (30 pages) to guide the reader even to numbered subway station entrances.
- An additional 7 maps of central Yokohama and Kawasaki and access maps to 3 U.S. military bases (Yokosuka, Yokota and Zama).
- Comprehensive index: More than 3,600 entries of town and station names, as well as major organizations and buildings, provide the user with easy access to all destinations.

Import pressing of this quirky Toronto band's debut mini-album featuring one bonus track: 'Cut Cut Paste'. TPC play a unique style of high energy Indie Rock with nods to bands like Bloc Party and The Strokes but end up sounding completely different. Eight tracks including the singles 'Cheer It On' and 'Nature Of The Experiment'. Memphis Industries. 2007.

It's nigh on impossible to review a young, indie rock band anymore without referencing their predecessors, their colleagues who have created the anxiety of influence. Here, David Monks' voice, combined with Joshua Hook's compressed-spray on guitar, certainly conjure early Strokes, but then comparisons just fall short. Tokyo Police Club's command of multiple tempos and rhythmic palettes sets up spacey atmospheres to tumble through, with a hefty blast at their beck and call. There's a languid undertow here, Monks pulling you in with a slow, warm-water voice only to let his pals bludgeon you with just-so rhythms that, even in flight, last a sharp, fast two minutes on average. --Andrew Bartlett

A touch of color! Tokyo Flash watches are coveted for their spectacular original digital animation style. Add a designer touch to your daily attire with a flashion watch.[Ion Plated]

Tokyo Flash makes timepieces like no other, and its Star Performer is a stellar example of its futuristic design ethos. This tall-profile stainless steel digital men's watch has a sleek black ionic plating and a multi-colored LED display. Time is indicated by the number that's lighted up in each of the four vertical rows--for example, 1-2-5-3 would be 12:53. The display also has four icons at the top that indicate the selected mode--clock for time, martini glass for PM, sun icon for day and date, and dollar sign ($) for year.

The special Pimp mode lights up all the lights in a fireworks-like manner and automatically turns on at 7:00 PM and turns off at 1:00 AM (it can not be switched off). This flashing feature can be demonstrated during the day when you press the time display button, and it runs for 12 consecutive minutes before it goes back into battery-save mode. It's complemented by a black ionic-plated stainless steel bracelet band (with a double-pushbutton, fold-over safety clasp), and this watch is water resistant to 30 meters (100 feet)--enabling it to withstand splashes and accidental dunks into the water, but not suitable for swimming.

Read across the four vertical rows to tell the time, date, and year.
