  • To Be a Race Queen

    Ad from TOKYO WALKER: Wanna be a race queen?

  • PSP Everywhere

    Get ready for PSP madness to hit the street — alongside the Nintendo DS madness, that has already made it impossible to get a system because they can even match all the pre-orders — with this wacky marketing initiative: According to Shibuya Keizai Shinbun, the company will be promoting the PSP in Tokyo by showcasing…

  • Chamber of Fear

    The other day I caught this cool anime ad on TV for Nike, and it ends up that it was produced by Studio 4C (they did two shorts of the ANIMATRIX project, as well as the recent MIND GAME film). Although it was only to be used in the Japanese market, the ad agency liked…

  • NE-O and Sony Ericsson

    Back in March I was posting about the directing group NE-O, and a commercial they were planning to shoot in Tokyo. A reader has sent a link the finished work.

  • Fanta Up My Nose

    Jeremy at Antipixel has just put up an hilarious Fanta commercial that apparently never made it to air.

  • Pepsi-fu

  • TSiG Versus Superlounge

    TSiG blogger Jonas Mosesson created this beautiful image for the split tram advertisements between TSiG and Superlounge magazine. You can view a close-up of the two characters, with their “Havaianas flip flops […] Vinti Andrews shoes and Little Boulogue evening bag from Louis Vuitton” here. Update (16/08/21): The image is unfortunately no longer available.

  • TSiG

    Some cool ads that Jesper created for Tokyo Style in Gothenburg. I love the use of Brockmann figures for models. Also, the TSiG blogs should be launching very, very soon, so stay tuned for more news on that. And be sure to check out the updated site for Jesper’s design company, Next Century Modern. They’re…
