Saturday



Japanese Red Cross Society Collection
Who knew the Red Cross also dabbled in art? All proceeds at this exhibition of the charity's collection – which ranges from Pablo Picasso to Seiji Togo – will go towards reconstruction efforts in Tohoku. Read more


Furusato Matsuri Tokyo
Coming on like a turbocharged version of the free fests held in Yoyogi Park year-round, the Furusato Matsuri gives a chance for prefectures to dazzle Tokyoites with their culture – and, of course, their food. Read more


Cut
Director Amir Naderi has caused quite a stir with Cut, his Japanese-language ode to the golden age of cinema. The film starts screening with English subtitles at Roppongi Cinem@rt from today. Read the Amir Naderi interview


Timewarp
Working in a team has its perks, especially when you're double booked. While Âme's Kristian Beyer plays a series of dates in Germany, co-conspirator Frank Wiedemann is heading to Tokyo for a live set – as Âme. Read more


Time Trap Vol.02
European minimal techno innovator Moritz von Oswald helms a night of deadly serious dance music at Sound Museum Vision, with support from Tokyo veteran DJ Wada and Tha Blue Herb's O.N.O. Read more


This & That Café Vol. 7
The latest in this occasional gig series organised by expat artist D.H. Rosen is worth going to just for brain-bustingly good avant blues-hop duo Uhnellys, but the rest of the acts ain't bad either – and it's free. Read more


Composure: Tohoku Benefit Event
Apparently contributing to last year's excellent Composure charity album wasn't enough for Donato Dozzy: the Italian deep techno producer is heading to Tokyo at his own expense to play at this fundraiser party. Read more


06S
Tokyo drum 'n' bass doyen DJ Aki celebrates his birthday at Womb tonight in the company of one of his biggest influences: Viral Recordings co-owner and incorrigible bass fiend Ed Rush. Should be heavy. Read more


Fright Night
Sure, it's hard to say why this remake of Tom Holland’s 1985 horror-comedy was ever deemed necessary – but where else can you get ravished by a vampire Colin Farrell in 3D? Exactly. Read the Time Out review


WWW
Night Slugs co-founder L-Vis 1990 got a lukewarm reception when he tried to take UK bass in a pop direction on last year's Neon Dreams, but he should get a more sympathetic audience in Tokyo tonight. Read more
