Black Rain

Black Rain

Deus Ex Machina is proud to present a short film by Andy Gough - "Black Rain"

The black rain squall rolled overhead. Its downpour came in sideways sheets, turning the clean ocean surface to chatter.

The drops falling heavy pushing deep below the water's surface, joined by the welcome taste of rainwater.

In a matter of minutes the squall had passed and the light offshore returned to groom the empty lineup. Waves peeling down the rocky coast, leaving nothing but turbulent water, only smoothed in time by the returning black rain.

On the edge of Harajuku, a bold new sign has risen - The Residence of Impermanence - in Harajuku, Tokyo, is back. Art, surfboards, motorcycles, apparel, café, music - a place where all kinds of enthusiasms collide. Step inside to the Deus Café - a breezy open ceiling space, serving all-day breakfast and the perfect energy for every moment. We're not ones to argue with that. Climb the spiral staircase to surfboards quietly lined against a softly lit backdrop.

Shaped exclusively for the Residence by Takuya “Tappy” Yoshikawa, Tetsuya Ogawa, and Jared Mell, each board is one of a kind. Sofas once beloved at the former Harajuku store — crafted by TRUCK Furniture and Stephen Kenn — have been reupholstered and brought to life for their next chapter. They’ll take on new character with time — just like this place. We invite you to settle in and enjoy the flow.

Same name. New form. The spirit remains, just slightly rearranged. Come in, stay awhile. Find us at 2-32-5 Jingumae, Shibuya-Ku, BPR Square Jingumae 1-1F & 2F Tokyo.

In Benzin Veritas!
