Live From Tokyo is actually a documentary about underground music in Tokyo, and whilst that sounds interesting, I’m sure the chances of me ever seeing it are pretty remote, so this tee is the thing I’m most interested in, because it looks great both in the context of the movie, and also out of context as just a randomly cool t-shirt design. Oh, and if you think you recognise the design style, that’s because it was created by Mr. Seibei.

This t-shirt is ridiculously cool, it has three actual cables stitched into it!
If you’ve never been to Tokyo, you’d probably be surprised that a nation that is generally regarded as being technologically advanced (and it is in many respects) doesn’t seem to have grasped the idea of having tidy cables running through their streets. I found that to be a little surprising, but it was usually on little side-streets filled with interesting little shops (I was staying in Akihabara, so there was lots of interesting little shops), so it just helped to add to the Blade Runner-esque atmosphere that I frequently found myself in.

Anyone remember when I pointed out this
tee back in February and it was a total tease because it was sold out? Well, the situation has improved, but not by much. They must have reprinted it, but only size small is available for purchase at the moment, and considering that
Graniph‘s sizes already run quite small anyway, it’s only going to be slim people wearing this pretty-darned-awesome t-shirt for the time being.
I said it back in February and I’ll say it again, this tee rocks, and I have no idea why, which is what I usually feel when I look at tees from Graniph, so I guess the love affair continues!

This tee was sent to me here in Philly, so it is a bit fresher in the memory than most of the reviews I’ve done over the past few months (though I sent it back with my brother last month, my suitcase is overweight as is), and as usual the quality level was superb, soft cotton, and I was really impressed with the colours in the print.

I can’t quite put my finger on why this t-shirt is awesome, but I am almost 100% certain that it is. In fact, it’s so great that I’m posting it even though it is sold out at the time of writing, knowing that I’m going to disappoint those of you that saw it and instantly knew you needed a t-shirt about an octopus attacking Tokyo in your lives. Sorry.
