Fukuoka Guitar and Music Shops

There are lots of good music and guitar stores in Fukuoka, Japan. Right in Tenjin there are three that come to mind. The first two are right next to each other. One is in the Tenjin Core building on the 7th floor, and the second one is right next door in the IMS building. If you want a good guitar only shop there is one on Watanabe Dori (Street) just past Daimaru near the 7-11, sorry I don’t remember the name. I just picked up a Made in Japan Fender Telecaster and a small Fender Amp at Shimamura Music in the IMS building the other day. If you are bored and want something to do, it’s a blast to go to a music store and play around with the guitars, drums, and keyboards ;-) .

Enjoy the slide show:

Zooomed in on Fukuoka

zooomed
A good friends of mine over at 808Talk the site that inspired this one made a little Flickr mashup. The idea of this mashup (a program or site using programming API’s to create something new. Like Google maps and Flickr combined to form a unique site) was to give a zooomed in view of a place at any given time. The site features 24 pictures from Flickr that were tagged with the subject matter of choice. What the site does is grabs the images from Flickr and posts them to a site, using the Flickr API and some creative coding by VBrown. Once the data is loaded you can either click on the picture or roll over it with your mouse and it will display. Pretty cool little project if you ask me. Once he showed me the site I told him you know you have to create a Fukuoka Page!! He was like….”Already done my friend” and sent me the link.

If you have a Flickr account and have pictures of Fukuoka, add the word Fukuoka as a tag and they will appear in on the site.

Hakata Live Web Camera

Hakata Webcam

There are several live web cameras in Fukuoka. This web camera link below is one in Hakata and gives the user the ability to control the camera’s movement.  You can control back and forth, and up and down. Plus it has 8 preset buttons to the left that you can just click. It’s better if you have a broadband connection to view this (if you don’t then why are you even on the internet?)
