o go along with the fastgrowing<br />
show along the<br />
T<br />
train lines, walkways, and<br />
parks of the city, there are<br />
big new things afoot at the <strong>Weekender</strong>.<br />
All you need to do is turn a few pages<br />
and you’ll see them, but because we’re<br />
helpful types, here are three reasons why<br />
this issue is looking better than ever:<br />
New look From fonts to layout styles,<br />
we’ve worked out several approaches<br />
that add a contemporary feel to the<br />
<strong>Weekender</strong> (we’re hoping to bring<br />
similar changes to our website in the<br />
months to come). Kudos to designer<br />
Liam Ramshaw, a fellow who doesn’t<br />
get to see his name in print that often.<br />
Along with our makeover, you’ll find the<br />
same great features that you’ve come<br />
to expect from us. For a bit of insight<br />
into what makes the city tick, we’ve got<br />
an interview with several members of<br />
<strong>Tokyo</strong>’s LGBT community and a profile of<br />
one of the city’s most innovative flower<br />
designers. And, should you find yourself<br />
in vacation withdrawal after Golden<br />
Week, a weekend or a day trip out to<br />
Hakone just might do the trick over the<br />
months to come. We keep finding new<br />
things to explore at this getaway favorite.<br />
As you can see from our cover – and<br />
what lies inside – things are looking up,<br />
and we’re looking forward to even better<br />
things to come. See you next month.<br />
