Shame on Suntory

One of my friends at my ex office network, Fallon London had just won this year's Canned Ad Fest Grand Prix with the below Cadbury spot.

Today I happened to watch the new Suntory's canned coffee brand BOSS's newest CM.

No matter what, if you're in the advertising business, how could it be on aired? What a rip off and whoever created, that is something that they should ashamed. We say a lot about Chinese rip off skills of all the lux brands but this is as disgusting as such or even worth.

No originality, No creative, Nonsense.

Very disappointed.

Meetings in London



Although it has been a while ago, here are some shots from the meetings in London.
Meetings often turned into a discussion at the pub with a few pints.

Cheers!

Masaki & Simon



Tom Masaki, and Nana.



What we discussed about, will soon to be able to share with you all.
It is going to be very interesting.

Streets in London around Covent Garden


この街の匂い、雰囲気、色、全部が久しぶりに行ったにも関わらず、ス〜っとはいってきたんだよね。青年期っていう時間は、人間を創る上ですごく大きいなと思う。僕の12歳から25歳までって、ここで創られたんです。

きっと、誰もがそうでしょ。自分の街に帰った時に感じる事。

だから、文化とか、ルーツとか、人間にとって必要な要素の一つなんだよね、きっと。

UK Tour 2008

Although it's been while ago, I went back to London for some meetings on our new project coming up.
As much as being so busy, I enjoyed so much of my time back in the city.



Some where in the air of Russia???
Got to be on British Airways as I used to work for them.
Highly recommended.


About to land to London. Overview of the River Thames from the East side towards the centre.




One of our member of the project, Masaki and his gf, Maki-chan. Both are absolutely smooth and welcomed me.
Thanks a lot!



Nana-chan(right) and Masaki. Both have very critical roles on the project.

Will post more pics from London soon. And of course the content of the project. It is going to be pretty interesting.

STOCKIST 2008 @ Jiyu Gakuen



My friend, Mitsunori & Hiromi a.k.a, Bob Foundation, who actively works globally launched a paper brand called No. 62 last year. They took part in an exhibition called "Stockist" that took place in Jiyu Gakuen's Hall, an architect designed by Frank Loyd Wright.

The exhibition, or perhaps it's more so a trade show for those small but quality interior brands, was seemed to be very successful with a lot of people and the venue was pretty amazing as you can see above.
