apart from Ghost in the Shell, Akira is perhaps the most defining manga to ever risen from the land of the rising sun. my childhood fantasy about the future practically grew out from Akira, starting with Kaneda’s badass motorcycle. though i was, in part, disturbed by Katsuhiro Otomo’s depiction of the future, but what do
we welcome the digital revolution and embraced digital music files like everyone who has run out of decent storage place for physical CDs (no, attics and basements are not decent places), but there are times where some music deserves a whole lot more than just bits and bytes, such as the French duo Daft Punk‘s latest offering, Random Access Memories
