However, today I just discovered an old 80's era Japanese TV commercial for Shin Piro Ace athete's foot ointment that, possibly, could have been an early influence on Maeda's work:

China Rock & Roll Scene Video 2009

According to Wikipedia, Chinese Rock first started in Beijing in 1984 and mostly involved university students in small underground bars and hotels.

Since then Chinese rock has had its ups and downs and was severely hit hard by the 2008 Sichuan Earthquake. But now, finally, in 2009 the Chinese rock movement seems to be rolling along pretty well. The below video was released earlier this year in February by Tripfilms and it gives us a good view of the current emerging underground rock scene in China:

Eastern Youth - 365 Steps Blues Promo Video

In many countries around the world, Eastern Youth is a very well known and quite popular Japanese indie punk rock trio that sings in various complex styles. Their songs' Japanese lyrics express the helplessness of much of today's younger Japanese generation. This video is a newly released high quality promo version of Eastern Youth's "365 Step Blues" And below the video I have also included both the Japanese lyrics in ROMAJI on the left, and just next to that on the right is an excellent English translation that another Eastern Youth fan/Japanese friend of mine gave me last year. And I just really like Eastern Youth and, especially, this song too! Please enjoy!

Japanese Husband Hunting Bra

Last May I featured Triumph's Japanese Solar-Powered Bra which was something of a knockout, but NOW Triumph has taken it a step further with the all-new Japanese Husband Hunting Bra:



Japan bra maker offers support for husband hunters

Via Reuters

TOKYO (Reuters Life!) - "Triumph International, maker of the solar, postal and chopstick bras, is offering a new kind of support for Japanese women on the prowl for a husband.

Japan's marriage rate is falling and the average age at which women get married is over 28 years, relatively late for a country in which single females were once considered over the hill at 25.

Triumph's latest novelty bra features an electronic nuptial timepiece, putting women seeking spouses literally on the clock.

If an engagement ring is inserted into the mechanism, the countdown stops and the bra plays Felix Mendelssohn's "The Wedding March.""

Japanese Models: True Works of Art

According to Wikipedia: "Japanese painting (絵画 ,Kaiga) is one of the oldest and most highly refined of the Japanese arts, encompassing a wide variety of genre and styles. As with the history of Japanese arts in general, the history of Japanese painting is a long history of synthesis and competition between native Japanese aesthetics and adaptation of imported ideas."

Well, in the below video, we get to see a beautiful Japanese model adapt a whole new style of painting which is not at all refined, indeed:
