    I recently discovered a really great show on NHK World called Design Talks Plus.

    I really like this commercial for the Match energy drink — you can also watch a behind-the-scenes video. The choreography is definitely by AyaBambi, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they had a hand in producing the outfits as well. Found via my buddy Daniel Feit.

    Another great shot by my friend Tatsuo, taken in Shibuya. I love the framing of that Hikaru Utada billboard.

  • Fresh Eyes on Osaka

    I point to yet another great piece about Japan from Said, this time this short guide of his favorite spots in Osaka, done for VSCO. The video montage made up of his photos is fun to watch.
