Republic Vol. 7

It's becoming something of an annual tradition, this. For the third year running, the latest edition of the Japanese Motion Graphic Creators guide is getting itself an epic release party, courtesy of the folks behind eye-popping Republic events. There'll be live spots this time around by Denki Groove alumnus Yoshinori Sunahara, electropop unit Kuchiroro, laptop mangler Oorutaichi and rapper Tamaki Roy, among others, while turntablist L?K?O heads up the DJ lineup. And you know you're in for some quality eye candy when the list of VJs is almost as long as the one for performers. File under: eye-popping.
