Nagoya’s 3
Artists Exh
Calling all foreign artists
Hey, hey, my, my,
FAE will never die,
There’s more to the picture
Than meets the eye,
Hey, hey, my, my.
(With obvious apologies to Neil Young) Exaggerations can surely be forgiven on this occasion
– Nagoya’s 30th annual Foreign Artists Exhibition (FAE)!
With original founding members still at the helm, this
year’s FAE is going to be something special.
Dating back to 1986, this ever-popular show has not
only enabled nearly 500 foreign artists from 45 different
countries to show their artwork to the general public
free-of-charge, it has also provided an opportunity for
locals to appreciate the creative energy of the foreigners
living among them. The FAE has been referred to as an “institution”, which
grows increasingly accurate with each passing year.
It is not just the aims and objectives of the exhibition
that have remained unchanged since FAE 1; some of
the original squad is still running the show, along with
a number of the original members of the Central Japan
International Society (CJIS), which organizes the FAE.
Events for Kids and Families
Pets Exhibition Day
I know every time I see a tiny dog with a
ridiculously oversized bow, or someone bending
right down with a wet-wipe to their Chihuahua’s
ass, or that old Japanese man who proudly holds
his pooch in a knitted sweater and walks around
Tsurumai Park, you will always find me in a state
of awwwww (note the inflection). So get ready
for the awws and the kawaiis at the biggest day
for pets in Nagoya. You can check out the dog’s
hair and fashion shows (who knows what will
supersede the cube?!) and you can even get
involved in the photo session with the pups.

Sakae Yaba-cho Haunted House
The Curse of the Lullaby
This is perhaps one for the big kids only... Get a
scare in early before Halloween, as this haunted
is unlike any other. Gomi Hirofumi, who is
4house
NAGMAG
responsible for this house of horrors, has created
a series of interactive scenes involving a sick child
and a murder. You will not be cheaply startled
or tricked; you will follow the story throughout
the house and will be begging with the people
inside to stop. Don’t forget to bring a second pair
of undies, because you will fill the first with sheer
terror. I will be brining three.
Until September 23

Dinosaurs in Noritake Garden
You have probably already taken your kids to
see the new Jurassic Park movie, because it
(hopefully) guarantees a couple of hours of airconditioned quiet-time. Just so you don’t feel too
guilty, you can take your kids outside to check
out some dinosaurs too (plus we know you think
it’s really cool and you wanna see real dinosaurs
too). Noritake Garden has been transported back
to the Cretaceous Age, with walking-talking-
roaring dinosaurs, including a huge 15 meter
long tyrannosaurus-rex. There is a dinosaur quiz
rally and best of all, entry is free!
Until September 27

City Light Fantasia by NAKED Kaleidoscope Fireworks in the Starry Sky
Lights and shiny things high up in the sky; no,
you are not high. Throughout September you can
marvel at the starry sky of Achi Village in Nagano
projected onto Nagoya’s Sky Deck windows. This
computer generated rendering of this celebrated
sky, and NAKED Inc.’s kaleidoscopic fireworks
creation, “FIREWORKS” represent the theme of “a
child’s vision of a future city”, so you can ooh and
ahh at the bright lights with the little ones. Pretty
cool if you ask me.
Until September 27

30th Foreign
hibition
Additionally, four of the 12 artists who took part in very first exhibition
in 1986 still live in Nagoya, and continue to produce and exhibit works;
while another 10 artists have been participating for 15 years or more. Preparations for the big 30 are proceeding smoothly - after 30 years
“at it”, you’d expect no less, obviously! We have received a heartening
number of new artists expressing interest in the show and, together
with our regular participants, should help us top 60 exhibiting artists.
Being the 30th anniversary, we would be delighted to see an aboveaverage number of participants (we had a huge 72 artists back in 1995)
and, of course, visitors (the current record is 1500, some years ago).
This year’s exhibition will be held over six days from 3 to 8 November at
the Nagoya International Centre and the application deadline for artists
is October 25. So, if there is still an undecided or reclusive foreign artist
out there, aged above 18 years (and of reasonably sound mind) who
has yet to apply, now is the time! Drop us a line on the details below.
Satisfaction guaranteed, hopefully.

Scouting in Nagoya!
Scout Leader Mike Coutu is excited to announce the city’s new English
scouting group - Nagoya Troops and Pack 758! They will be launching
three troops for cubs, boys and girls, sponsored by local company
Interlink. All families with children from grade one to 18 years of age are
invited to an information event on September 19 at Aichi Seinen Kaikan.
You can also sign up on the day.
They will be registered with Boy Scouts of America (BSA) and Girl Scouts
of America (GSA) because they offer the best youth support system, and
they also plan to hold activities with the Scout Association of Japan.
This is a great opportunity for children around Nagoya to have fun, form
new friendships, build character, and learn about responsibilities and
participating in groups, which are core values of the BSA and GSA.
Following the information session, they plan to launch their new units in
October with a hike or a campout.
For more information, contact Mike Coutu:

Troubles in Your Marriage?
You’re Not Alone
Nagoya-based Psychologist Kisstopher Musick explains that feeling
unsupported in a relationship is very common
Marriage can be challenging at the best of
times. Adding the stress and strain of living
abroad or being a mixed couple can bring
issues to the surface which can become very
challenging.
• Start by sharing that you want to support
them but don’t know what they need.
I’m sure everyone has heard that communication is the key to a happy marriage, but what
do you do when every time you try to communicate a fight ensues? First of all, it is helpful
to keep in mind that when you are fighting
about everything, it usually means that you
are talking about nothing. This is important to
realize because in each fight there are most
likely clues as to what it is your partner needs
to talk about. These clues usually come by way
of off-topic comments.
• Know that they are struggling.
Off-topic comments during an argument indicate what the fight is truly about. For example,
if your partner blows up about the postal
service in Japan and then suddenly jumps into
a rant about lack of support; the issue is that
they are not feeling supported.
The lack of feeling supported is very common and most people struggle to articulate
what it is they need from their partner to feel
supported. If your partner is not feeling supported, you can:
6
NAGMAG
• Do your best to listen without feeling
defensive.
• Do not offer solutions or tell your partner
how they feel; listen to them and try to give
them what they need.
• Ask for examples of times when they have
felt supported or that you were meeting their
needs and try to recreate the example.
With patience and understanding, a lot of
issues can be resolved. Sadly, not every issue
can be resolved this way, and sometimes
the fighting can take too large a toll on the
relationship and mediation is needed for communication.
There is no shame in needing a mediator to
aid your communication, because facilitated
communication brings back balance and
fairness. Mediation ensures that each party
is seen, heard, and validated. With mediation
and facilitation, there is no bad guy. So often
in relationships, partners can lose sight of each
other and how they became a couple in the
first place. Facilitated communication can help
you remember what it is about your partner
that first drew you to them. Mediation can
help you understand what the relationship
has to offer you and the benefits of staying
together. It can help you heal and move on
from hurt and angry feelings. The process can
help you rediscover you happiness.
One of our focuses at Adjustment Guidance is
helping couples find each other and their happiness. I am a caring and devoted psychologist
with over 20 years’ experience facilitating communication and helping couples get back to
being happy. You don’t have to do this alone.
Our team will work with you and your partner
to achieve the life you deserve and happiness
you crave. You can have a happy and peaceful
relationship. You can be a happy couple in a
thriving partnership. Why wait? Book your free
consultation today and take the step to begin
living the life you deserve.
Free childcare is available upon request for
children 14 months and above.

Typhoon Survival Guide
Get ‘phoon ready gaijin style
Mark Guthrie
This summer has been hotter than Satan’s
barse, but now we are sliding thankfully into
autumn. However, for the humidity to loosen
its grip, we still have one set of meteorological phenomena to endure: the September
typhoons, when the nation will be bombarded
by storms that can be as dangerous as the the
splitting of a yakuza gang.
Most Japanese will equip their homes with
a hijoubukuro, an emergency bag filled with
items for survival should they be forced to
evacuate. Contents may include water, a radio
and a first-aid kit. However, as gaijin, you have
different requirements, so we have compiled a
list of essential items for your hijoubukuro.
Fashionable rucksack
Most hijoubukuro bags are extremely practical: waterproof, lightweight and high-vis.
However, they are bloody ugly things to look
at, and most of you would rather be seen
dead, literally, than carrying one. So instead,
NagMag recommend that you release your
inner hipster and shell out for a Swedish Fjäll
Räven backpack to carry your life-saving items.
You won’t get lucky when you meet a halfdrowned hotty whilst carrying some ugly fucking rucksack that looks like it’s used to cover a
turkey at Christmas. Speaking of which…
Condoms
Now, we don’t want to be crass, but when
emotions and fear are high, libidos run wild.
Just ask the British women of the 1940s and
the American GIs who left them with little
more than empty promises and syphilis. When
you are cooped up in some evacuation center
twiddling your thumbs, there may be people
grieving for loved ones, who need comforting. This is where you and those idle thumbs
– and other body parts perhaps – can help
momentarily relieve the pain. Just until the
devastating reality of their situation dawns on
them once again. But by that time you will be
‘counselling’ some other poor soul, so it’s not
your problem.
Extra chargers for phone
There will be power outages, which will lead
to most amenities being out of order, but
more importantly you won’t be able to charge
your smartphone. Things can get that bad.
And as you look around there will be so many
photo ops: a wailing, parentless infant; a frail
old lady holding the hand of her septuagenarian husband breathing his last on a cot bed;
a family huddled in contorted despair as they
recall seeing a beloved pet being washed
away by the waves. But if you have a bunch
of charged batteries, you can capture every
image, slap on the X-PRO II filter, Instagram
them and see your ‘like’ count skyrocket.
Taking selfies replete with ‘V’ signs may not go
down to well, but let’s face it, that’s not going
to stop you.
Booze
Most sensible people will fill their hijoubukuro
with water. It may be the elixir of life, but it’s
pretty dull. And when you consider your workplace could be closed the following day, it’s
the perfect opportunity to get ripped to the
tits. Bear in mind though that most conbinis,
due to flooding and death, will be temporarily
closed. A forward-planning gaijin will fill their
bag with enough booze to get them through
the night. Unfortunately for those who work
for Aeon, the bastards will probably expect
you to turn up the next day, regardless. In fact
you will likely be docked pay for not having
drowned on the job.
Textbooks
There is a good chance that your alcohol stash
will run out (which, let’s be honest will be
after the first night, you borderline alcoholic,
you). So why not take the opportunity to work
on your piss-poor Japanese? The best way of
improving your language skills in this situation
is to talk to your fellow evacuees. However, it is
unlikely that vocabulary such as “do you have
any spare food?”, “please help, I am in so much
pain” or “my whole family were drowned, I
don’t know how I will carry on with my life”
will be on the N5 JLPT exam in December.
No, you’re better off getting your head in the
books and studying something more useful.
Flash Cards
You have a captive audience with spare time
and no doubt everyone will be asking “where
you from?” Now is the best time to spread
the English tongue. And in a barter society,
who knows what helpful survival tools you
can acquire in exchange for English lessons.
Do keep in mind that profiteering in times of
emergency is usually looked down upon, but
only by those who aren’t profiting.
Electric Guitar
No matter how slim, there is a possibility that
this typhoon is the beginning of the apocalypse, a time of warlords ruling a barren earth,
holding sway over impoverished populace
with an iron fist. And so, which of those do
you want to be? A warlord with the world at
its feet, or a serf indentured to their master?
The answer is obvious. Those of you who have
seen the recent Mad Max movie will know that
no warlord is complete without a blind goon
strapped to a vehicle made of amps playing
breakneck guitar. Should the time come, if you
can find your blind man and give him a guitar,
you’re halfway there to warlordship. For those
of you who haven’t seen it, well you should.
It’s a bloody good movie and will prepare you
pretty well for your post-civilisation life.
Good luck out there, and be safe!

THE CLUBS
I’ve been told that the stank leg in my nae
nae is off the hook (maybe thanks to some
early-stage arthritis), so I thought I’d do pretty
well at the clubs. But to be honest, I hadn’t
ventured into any of these venues for what
feels like a generation; my best Saturday
nights are not banging my head back and
forth to monotonous beats. So with fresh eyes
(not jaded at all, I promise) I waded through
the horny, EDM generation and found a few
surprises. Whoever you are, or whoever you are
pretending to be, you’ll find somewhere to go
in the Nag at nite (I might stay home though).
Orca
Club Orca is one of the youngest and up-and-coming nightspots in
central Sakae on the 11th and 12th floors of the Don Quijote and is
definitely worth the elevator ride and the wait. Once those doors open,
it’s like a Baz Luhrmann movie; a grand entranceway with the loudest
of sound systems. You’ll find two rooms. There is a revolving door of DJ
superstars, and the locals do a damn fine job dropping the hottest hip
hop and R&B from the 90s onwards. You’ll hear house, trance, K-pop and
much more likely, EDM. There is also a second floor, but, it’s VIP and I
have never been deemed V.I. enough to warrant a peek. Though all my
cooler friends tell me the view of “the city” is impressive.
Map Page 30 | C2 (052) 951-7105 www.orca.nagoya
MIXX
Korean pop music has a huge following in Japan, though Nagoya has
never been home to a club dedicated to the music of PSY and Girls’
Generation (literally the only two acts I know) – until now. The glitzy
Sound Space Mixx has taken their most popular event, the NESTAL
K-pop party, and made it weekly. Already a popular place to grab a
drink and a bite before the bigger clubs open, Mixx is now the most
acceptable place to break out your Gangnam Style… I really need to
listen to more K-pop. If you need a break from the K-pop at Mixx, check
out Topps, the hip-hop space just one flight up.
Map Page 30 | B3 (052) 261-3303 www.mixx-japan.com/index.html
JB’s
The Ikeda Koen area is the closest thing we have to a red light district,
full of hostess bars, massage parlors and love hotels. If you can get
past the rough-looking crowd, the stench of trash and the rumors of
gangland beheadings (which is easy if you’re tanked), you’ll find some
of the coolest clubs in Japan, with JB the matron of the area. A popular
spot for touring DJs and on the top club lists around the world. They
always manage to get a decent crowd, with a comfortable collection of
hip hop and house, plus regular jazzy or rock dance music events. And
they’re usually open until the sun comes up, so it’s a one-stop party and
the perfect place for a bender.
Map Page 30 | D2 (052) 241-2234 www.club-jbs.jp/
12 NAGMAG
Domina
Domina could be your little haven away from the big rooms around
town, especially if even JB’s is too pop for your taste. With their dynamic
lineup of monthly events, you’ll feel like you never step into the same
club twice, which is pretty unique for Nagoya. Bass fans congregate
here; you’ll find D&B, UK garage and grime, as well as one of the best
places in town to hear classic funk and soul. Chill vibe, friendly crowd.

NAGNITELIFE
MAGO
In the never-ending argument about which is Nagoya’s best nightspot,
Club Mago is always up there. In the heart of Shinsakae, Mago has
spaces dedicated to live music, performance art and dance. The main
room is famous for the most technologically-advanced sound systems
in town, making it a favorite for local DJs and international names. You
won’t find people trolling for tail at a Mago party, you’ll be among true
fans. Monthly events are varied, but the biggest turnouts are found at
their regular parties like SMASH with local legend DJ Ogawa.
(052) 243-1818 www.club-mago.co.jp/
iD Cafe
Don’t let the name fool you; iD Cafe is a club. Actually, it’s six clubs. And
even though it’s one of the oldest in town, it is still clean (which matters
if you are sober). What is great about this place is that you can go up a
floor to escape the music: if you are sick of pounding your head to EDM,
you have the choice of house, hip hop, reggae and RnB. Be warned
though, the schedule changes day to day, but it’s always a well-planned
mix, with nothing outside the box. It closes at 1am, so it’s a good,
predictable party-starter.
Map Page 30 | B2 (052) 251-0382 www.idcafe.info/
Links
If you’re horny and you know it clap your hands… When iD shuts their
doors, releasing a wave of drunk and DTF revelers onto the streets, there
are more than a few options. And this one is right across the street.
Run by the affable Eddie, you’ll find an atmosphere that allows you
to do what you wanna do – have harmless late night drinks, a secret
encounter or just shake your ass (which may lead to a secret, or more
public encounter). The hip hop DJs mix everything from the newest hits
to the oldest of old school. And Links doesn’t have a cover charge, like
most post-iD venues, ‘cause they know people are gonna come. So if
you’ve invested the former part of your night in that special someone,
Links is the place where you will find out if you’re gonna seal the deal.

www.facebook.com/LINKSBARSAEKE
Lover:Z
Shinsakae is where you go when you can’t be arsed with crowds, and
Lover:Z is where you go when you’ve given up on the last train. An
exclusive little gem for the rap and R&B community, and one of the only
clubs in town that is not on the internetz. So finding out when they’re
playing host to an international hip hop star (like last month’s Chelsea
Reject gig) can be tricky - but it wouldn’t be cool if you could actually
find out gig info. However, the second Saturday of the month is always
a safe bet with the Metro Club, Nagoya’s premiere all-sexuality event. A
wild night with the friendliest group of drag queens since To Wong Foo,
and a crowd so diverse you’d think they were shooting a community
college promo spot.

X-Hall
Smack bang in the middle of Osu Kannon arcade, X-Hall has become
a laser-powered event packed with the college youth of Aichi. X-Hall
knows what its crowd wants; deafening popular hits. The vibe is more
akin to a live show than a dance floor with the predominately male
crowd cheering the DJ as if it were Avicii himself. And while they’ve
never booked the super Swede, they have managed to line up some of
the hottest producers from around the world. If you want to see a crowd
lose their shit to a Call Me Maybe remix, then X-Hall is for you.
Map Page 30 | B4 (052) 265-6657 www.x-hall.jp/
The Plastic Factory
Sometimes you want an unpredictable night, maybe a different
atmosphere and music that will surprise you. This is The Plastic Factory.
An important staple of the international community where local DJs get
their start. The dance floor is spacious, comfortably lit, with dark, secret
couched corners for pashing or passing out. Expect disco, acid-trance,
80s pop, 60s soul and rock and roll. The last Sunday of the month hosts
the popular open mic and art space event, The Harmonium Parlour.
Definitely one to check out.

If you want to delve deeper
into the Nag at Nite scene,

friendly peeps.

Club Buddha in Shinsakae is a

or reggae kind. (052) 251-5450

No one does reggae bigger than

you’re going, plan on staying the
whole night (which isn’t difficult).

Club About, just down the street
from JB’s and with the same
underground vibe as Domina, is
big with the techno crowd. And

soundtrack. Map Page 30 | D2

NAGDRINKS
Sushi and Steak
at Ginza Ashibe
Mark Guthrie takes a tantalizing journey inside one of Nag’s finest eateries
Warning: the following review has a high superlative count. Those with a nervous disposition
regarding gushing compliments should look
away now.
Have you ever been in a situation where you
knew that something was too good for you?
Maybe you fluked your way into a relationship
with someone way out of your league. Perhaps
you stumbled into a handsomely paid job for
which you were grossly under-qualified. What
do you do in these situations? You keep schtum and hope that you don’t get found out. This was precisely why I sat in Ginza Ashibe
in Meieki, quieter than a church mouse who
had taken a vow of silence at the Squeakless
Monastery for Particularly Quiet Mice.
Ginza Ashibe is regarded as one of the best
dining experiences in Nagoya, particularly for
impressing on first dates. As someone more
used to burgers and beer (I rely on wit and
charm rather than ambiance on dates. I am
rarely successful), I was way out of my comfort
zone amongst the plush finery and decadence.
Fortunately I was set at immediate ease by
welcoming restaurant manager Oya-san.
The first dish for which I was undeserved
was an obanzai selection, traditional Kyoto
cuisine, simply made with seasonal seafood
and vegetables. Like good home cooking, as
Oya-san explained. There were five dishes in
total: fried eggplant boiled and baked in sake;
burdock with carrot and konyaku; sweet ayu
fish boiled in soy sauce and eel and yam baked
18 NAGMAG
in yuba tofu curd. And in the centre of it all was
popcorn shrimp. This was nothing like home
cooking as I know it (sorry mum!).
Now I feel I should add a disclaimer. Eggplant
and konyaku are pretty high up on my ‘foods
not to be touched with a barge pole’ list, so I
gave those dishes an initial wide berth, opting
instead for the shrimp that was lightly curried
and so immediately addictive that I was unable to stop at three. The ayu was next and
the sticky sauce only served to exponentially
enhance the sweetness of the fish. I followed
this with the yuba wraps that were also sweet
and oozing with a yammy goodness that was
elbowed slightly by the subtlest hint of eel
that was neither overpowering nor undersold.
At last I approached the burdock and konyaku
combination that, spicy and a little smoky,
caught me totally off guard. Emboldened, I
dived in to the aubergine which knocked my
socks off with such force it nearly sent my
converse skittering across the elegant room
such was the gentle flavour created by the
delicate sake.
To cleanse my palette Oya-san brought out
a veritable forest of chilled salad sticks to be
dipped in a gorgeous bagna càuda (Italian
garlic and anchovy dip). I scooped mountains
of the stuff with celery and carrot, finishing
the whole pot on my own despite it being a
sharing dish. Bad, gluttonous Mark.
I presumed I would be back on more comfortable territory with the sushi, but again the
mango and salmon California rolls were not
like anything I had encountered before. The
subtly sweet mango gave the salmon a rounded flavour, but what really set them apart was
the sublime butteryness of the avocado that
juxtaposed so delightfully with the puchi puchi
texture of the fish roe, a new sensation to me
that was as revelatory as it was moreish. I ate
three. Bad, bad, gluttonous Mark!
Then came the pièce de résistance: Ashibe’s
world-famous wagyu steak. Less marbled than
Japanese wagyu, the grilled shinshin steak was
just how I expected: red and bloody within,
subtly charred without, and to say it melted in
the mouth is as clichéd as it is inaccurate. This
steak dissolved on the tongue, it evaporated, it
broke down to a molecular level. It was simply
transcendental.
Well, that was me done, and again I was cowed
into silence. But this time it was nothing to do
with being overawed by the low-lit decadence
around me, nor was it to do with being undeserving of such a dining experience. Instead,
my church-mousery was simply a result of my
senses – both taste and touch – quivering in a
gastronomically induced wreck.

Aloha Dining Lure’s Lana
Since opening in 2012, I, among many others,
have been in a love affair with Layer’s Aloha
Dining; its great location next to the big
Chikusa Aeon mall (so sorry Burger King), tasty
food, and cocktails cool enough to match the
breezy Hawaiian atmosphere of the restaurant.
This July, it re-opened with a new name and a
new look: Aloha Dining Lure’s Lana. Thankfully,
the team didn’t tamper with their winning
formula. Rather, they added some fun new
stuff: There are some tasty-looking new
additions to the burger menu, ranging from a
big slab of sirloin steak sandwiched between
two buns, to another with three different kinds
of cheese. Yes, three different kinds.
Being my boring self, I went with the same
burger I get every time I visit: the avocado
cheese burger, a burger with avocado and
cheese. It was yummy as always, but was
packing a surprise between its buns (that’s
what she said?).
20 NAGMAG
The size of the beef patty has jumped from a
satisfying 110gm to a beefier 130gm. It’s a big
change to the burger-salad-buns equation,
and one out of one burger reviewers (that’s
100%!) agree that it’s a good one.
I chose a drink off Lure’s new Hawaiian menu
to accompany my burger, the Pineapple Lassi.
It shocked my system - so used to a fluid intake
consisting of a soup of beer, coffee, and Coke
Zero - with it’s awesome healthfulness: fresh
pineapple, basil seeds (like the opposite day
version of those tapioca balls that come with
pearl milk tea at first), and a bunch of other
stuff served in a Mason jar for style points.
As an aside, my five-year old thinks this place is
the bomb because he likes the food, and more
importantly, their bookshelf with a big enough
selection of picture books and magazines to
keep him entertained. It’s a nice touch, and he
always asks to visit for lunch. So we do!

Next time, I think I’ll commit the crime of
skipping a burger and try the upside down
pineapple pancakes from the new Hawaiian
menu. They look good. The furifuri chicken
with rice also got a rave review from my nonburger-eating friend.
