Japanese Fashionista



Ever wanted to know what was fashionable in Japan? Well, maybe not, but I do. Even if you don't, check out this little gem from the clothing company, Uniqlo. It's called the "Uniqclo Tokyo Fashion Map." This online interactive catalog has videos of Japanese citizens trying on various pieces of clothing, posing, then passing it along to the next person, where he or she tries on a new piece. There is also a neat feature that allows users to locate where exactly each picture and video were taken. I could watch this forever. There are so many different types of people in this, reaching a myriad of targets. The music is really damn catchy too! It might take a while to load, but it's worth it for sure.

FEEEVVEERRR!!!

I just finished watching "Lost in Translation" (again) and love the Japanese culture. I'd love to visit for a week or even live there for a month, just touring ad agencies and getting swept away by all this beautiful country has to offer. I've even emailed a guy at Ogilvy Japan and asked about potential internship opportunities out of curiosity. So we've all seen the Bud Light Conan O'Brien spot, "Vroom vroom party starter!' Now let's take a look into the land of the rising sun, and an integral part of "Lost in Translation," ("For relaxing times, make it Suntory time.")and see what some American actors have been up to in Japan. These and more at Japander.com.
