Shibuya Crossing Episode 039 LIVE Wednesday August 13!



Fresh Fruits, delightful Sweets, and a mixed bag of melodic treats await you on the next episode of Shibuya Crossing. 

Following last week’s rock and roll journey through our vault of diverse tunes on Episode 38 - we annotate that trip with a unpredictable delightful mix that’s akin to a summer dessert. Somewhat fitting for an afternoon in August. 

On Episode 39, we kick off our show with a melodic monotone mix of tracks to get you in the mood - with music from Ishige Akira, Plastic Tree, and Asian Kung-Fu Generation. We catch up on what’s happening on what has been a very busy couple of weeks in the world of J-Music. Plus our Artist Spotlight features not only one - but a combination of three artists from the fledgling Oshare Kei sub-genre.  

And be sure to tune in next week too as we count down to our Season Finale on August 20th, as we switch gears and play the the best ethereal and emotionally inducing J-Rock ballads out there. If you got any tips, you know where to find us. 

But for now, keep it locked in! A lovely bowl of dessert is coming up on the next Shibuya Crossing. From CJLO 1690AM. 

Wednesday, August 13th at 1pm EST at CJLO.com (1690AM in Montreal), and 3pm On Demand at http://cjlo.com/?q=shows/shibuya-crossing.

Fashion Fraction: Focus On [Lolita] -Part 1-

Hello readers, Taka here again to give you your dose of fashion here on Project: Lixx!

Time to open up the "Focus On..." articles where I open up a specific genre of fashion amongst the community and dissect it as thoroughly as I can... which means these may be in a few parts.
The current focus? Lolita and it's various subgenres.

Before I begin the discussion, I must provide a disclaimer. I am not a lolita. I do not part-take in lolita fashion very often. I tend to prefer a specific type of lolita. So, all in all, I am not an expert on lolita. If I say anything that is wrong or that you think I missed, please let me know! And also a giant THANK YOU to the providers of some of the picture examples for today's article: Krystal D. and Stephanie R (and friends).
