The Alien?

[thomas]

Guest Kristin asked:

Hi all! I lived in Japan several of years ago and, being a goofy gaijin, loved reading a tiny magazine called The Alien . I can't seem to find any info about this magazine on the Internet - does it still exist and is there a webpage or something that I can look at? Thanks for your help - Kristin

At the moment I am only aware of Tokyo Alien Eyes, an online magazine "for the rights of foreign residents in Japan". Just did a thorough search on major Japanese search engines, unfortunately without results. Perhaps some of our visitors know more about that magazine.

Where all other search-engines fail, Google does the job...
If your system can't display Japanese characters you'll see garbage text below, so i'll outline what if can make of it:

2 Addresses (which i can't read) and also 2 phone/faxnumbers: 052 (733) 3183 and 03 (3791) 3534

And there is an email-address: alien@gix.or.jp

There is also an URL: http://www.the-alien.com but it displays an "under construction" message. Either they gave up the site or they are still building it.

I don't know how recent this information is, but i hope this helps.

Thanks for your search effort, Twisted! I am far from my home PC at the moment, thus I didn't find time to follow that topic. Seems the URL you mentioned is worth being observed in future...
