Suffice to say, culture nerds will not go hungry this September in Fukuoka. Speaking of hunger, we tamed ours with slow cooked sirloin steak at Congrats Hakata this month, where you’ll find great taste and big portions. Meanwhile, we talked to Fukuoka’s piano man, Darrell Smith, who launches a new CD this month. Finally, we open submissions for visual artists and performers to take part in our next big international event Creative Community happening Nov. 8 at JR Kyushu Hall. If you’re an artist in Kyushu, don’t miss this chance to gain recognition and exposure. This month’s cover models are three of the FT5 artists, Prilla Tania, Mehreen Murtaza and Agi Chen. Read our interviews with the three international artists online.
