A Quick FAQ

You are a hot, young artist and your works definitely have to be featured, or you’d like your exhibition to be announced on Ping? Send us your info and website via our contact page, and we’ll promise to get back to you as soon as possible! In addition, since we can’t sadly announce all of your lovely events, please feel free to post it to our Ping site on Facebook entirely dedicated to this!

Oh, all these lovely products! But where to buy??
If you saw an item in in a Ping article you MUST have, but there is no English website in sight! Oh, dear, there is now hope in sight: Welcome the brand new shopPingMag! Feel free to browse through our goodies from Japan! Read more about the shop over here.

What do you wish to know about Tokyo entertainment?
Since we are in Tokyo, yes, and our office is right next to Harajuku station, many beloved people ask as for cool sightseeing tips of the more interesting kind. If you roam a bit in our constantly growing archive, you will get a lot of useful info! Then, if you are in town for hot exhibitions and art openings, do check out what our friends at Tokyo Art Beat offer on a daily basis! Also, an event space such as Super Deluxe is DEFINITELY a good start!

A PingMag subscription?
We are terribly sorry, but we are (currently) online only. But who knows, in the future… Until then, feel free to subscribe to our RSS feed on the main site to get our latest pieces of happiness. And sorry again, there isn’t any newsletter. However, we are on Flickr, YouTube, Facebook and Mixi too.

You’d like to republish Ping articles online? Please!
Of course, we are utterly delighted if you want to spread the word - as long as you credit us properly with all the necessary links! And don’t forget to send us the link once it’s up! If you think about reprinting articles, please get in touch with us through our contact site.

Freelancers hooray!
Sadly we can’t take all of you as next interns (it’s a bit hairy if you’re not already living in T, sorry!), but we are always looking for fresh freelancers! If you have tons of ideas you think would be simply perfect for the mag, send us an email and please tell us a bit about yourself, what you did so far, and possibly include some writing samples

PingMag ads here!
You want to advertise your lovely items or events or exhibitions on PingMag? How about a banner then? If you do it with us, your ad will also be displayed at our friends’ Tokyo Art Beat, CBC-net and Asoboo. Even better! Try our efficient Can ad network right now.

All about jobs in Japan…
Many designers would love try working in Japan - and many ask us for contacts. We are awfully sorry, but we are simply too busy to connect each one of you to one of the agencies in Tokyo. However, if you have at least some Japanese skills (the more, the better), you are lucky: In Tokyo, there is ALWAYS a need for web designers and programmers, for example. For this, simply check our “joblet” and the “TAB jobs” ads on the right side of each Ping page, please!
