Two years ago I received an email from my good friend, Lisa, with "You'll like these" as its subject, some photos of our trip to Cebu and Davao, and a link to Rhye's SoundCloud page. I saved the pictures and clicked on the link. Soon I was digging the exquisite mix of musical instruments, the ethereal ambience on each track, and the sensual vocals and dreamlike harmonies. I was surprised however, to discover that the lead singer of the mysterious duo was actually a man. While some guys can do a high-pitched falsetto it could have your ears quite confused, Rhye's Mike Milosh possesses a natural alto, and his smooth voice has drawn a number of comparisons to Sade and Tracey Thorn.
The interior of this newly-opened tea house in Tokyo's Shin Okubo district is designed to look like a two-dimensional cartoon. From doors and walls, to tables and chairs, each item inside the 2D Cafe is painted in plain white with soft, black edges. The restaurant offers milk tea, tapioca, coffee, fruit juices, and shaved ice desserts. The only thing that I don't like about the cafe is the space. The tables are so close together that you can hear the most private details of strangers' lives whether you care to or not.
