This is unbelievably beautiful movie, which looks like the "Power of Ten" was made by the office of Charles and Ray Eames for IBM. Great job.

Description from Amazon; "Among modern cities, New York stands alone as the quintessential skating town- the place where the revolution in street skating got its startWith manic intensity, creativity, cultural ferment and its tangled urban landscape, NYCs mean streets in the 80s was ripe for the birth of a new type of modern skating; where stairs, banks, handrails, and benches could be ollied over, into, and down. In Deathbowl to Downtown, New York is a central character to the unfolding of what would be celebrated as one of the most creative and innovative periods in the history of the sport and saw the rise of some of the sports legends."




Description from Amazon; "Nothing But the Truth is the story of the Nike SB team, on and off their skateboards."




Description from Amazon; "1st & Hope is a unique view of skateboarding through the lens of the Malloy Brothers (Thicker Than Water, Out Cold) as they capture Kenny Anderson and Brian Lotti "roll" through the urban landscape of downtown Los Angeles. This visual stream of skateboarding imagery is enhanced by the dynamic sounds of Beck."


Very luckily, all of 3 skateboarding videos recently I got were totally awesome!
The skateboarding culture still gives me a lot of inspirations, although I've stopped skateboarding since long ago. So I'm continuing to get those videos often still.

Yeah, actually the skateboarding industry has changed a lot especially in this 20 years. Not only Tony Hawk but also many other skaters became millionaires. We can find tons of skaters everywhere on the street. Many people are thinking it's metamorphosed as like a part of a main culture already. It might mean that skateboarding is not special anymore.
I can't say it's a good thing or a bad thing, but in fact, at least the quality of the skill and the expressions for videos for example, are getting higher and higher.

These 3 videos are very major videos. Means not independent. But their spirit is still like street kids, in good meaning.
Challenging, boldness, pride, vandalism... Those words sound like very primitive and old fashion, but every time make me exciting without any thinkings.

Of course I know almost every "sports" are very similar, but skateboarding is a little bit different for me. I can't say what exactly that is, but I think you can feel kinda same thing. It's not only a sport but also a culture...

Anyway simply put it's COOL. That's all. ;]

This is my first TVCF (only the first one)! I've planed the concept of this.
Well, I don't know it's okay or not for the talent agency to upload it on Youtube though! I just found it yo~ ;P

It was a very relaxing Sunday afternoon... =)
I just made a compilation of kinda world records videos or something. Enjoy!

THUGLIFE Graffiti Video Awards 2009!! I selected 50 nominees from my favorite collections. Do not imitate them, kids!!

This microsite was made for the Philips's "A Cinema 21:9" television. This is a totally simple website but also very impressive! I don't have any ideas how to make this kinda crazy technical movie, at all.
I like web advertisements, because they can be standing on a nice point between ads and arts then make the border to be obscurely. Of course it's not possible every time, at least easier than the other medias though, maybe.
Anyway, I love this one as both an advertising and a movie.

Agency: Tribal DDB Amsterdam
Production: Stink Digital
Directed: Adam Berg

Carousel: Acinema 21:9 Production

CLAREMONT
A Film by: Ari Marcopoulos
Director of Photography: Colin Blackshear
Producer: Neville Wakefield
Riders: Noah Sakamoto / Patrick Rizzo

I post this video because I was taught about the "High Definition" version at last! Thank you Iguchi-kun!
Anyway, it's an unbelievably crazy challenge.
It's not only a viral commercial movie by the apparel brand "Adam Kimmel", but also a very very awesome skateboard video. Those two riders Noah Sakamoto and Patrick Rizzo belong to the skateboard team called Sector Nine Skateboards. And also Sakamoto is a great artist.
Anyway, just watch the movie without any explanations!

OMG, this guy makes me laugh out loudly soooo much!! I really love this comedian Jon Lajoie. He's really good at rapping, singing, and pretending like a boring normal person. lol
This "Everyday Normal Guy" is my favorite in these videos he made. But even all the others are fxxkin' great too. No doubt!
And let me translate this lyrics and explain to all Japanese. I think everyone will like it so much!!!

正直、たぶん、おれは反撃しないぜ
友達なんて誰もいねぇしな
でも、スティーブなら助けてくれるだろう

BLU is an amazing graffiti artist from Argentina. He's also shooting, editing, and so on. Very very talented. I really love this movie. Amazing.
By the way, this movie reminds me a little bit about Barnstormers' style. Check it out below! ;)

C2C rocks! Very nice and smooth. The quality of French Hip Hop is gettin higher and higher, day by day.
My first contact to French Hip Hop was the movie "La Haine" by Mathieu Kassovit. I can't forget the scene that a boy was setting up his speakers face to outside by a window, turn up the volume, and starting the very nice juggling.
At that time, I knew only MC Solaar in the French Hip Hop scene though, but when I watched the movie, I totally realized that Hip Hop is very popular in France too.

OMG! It's so funny! lol Better than me.

Why do all guys get nervous when they look at these kinda interface design, but women don't give a fxxk at all?

Sony Digital Imaging Europe held such an awesome event in Miami, Florida for its "like.no.other" brand-new advertising. The foam machine produced 2,000,000 liters of foam every 60 seconds! I've never watched before like this kinda crazy plan, but everything's absolutely beautiful though. It's dazzlingly good. Actually, I think this's a much stranger plan especially for Japanese than Europeans / Americans, because in here we don't have customs like enjoying bath foam at all. Although I really wanted to be there! ;)

Funny. I could tell that he really loves tape. Nice shirts. lol

Here comes the newest Kireek TV right now!!!!! Che-che-che-check it out YO! Bomboklaaaaat!!!!

This's a very interesting opening. Are those real bombs? How was it taken?
Actually, since when I was a teenager, I've been into the Spike Jonze world. The first video I'd watched was the Beastie Boys' "Sabotage" one. This's my classic video.
And of course I love the another really important Sk8 video by him, called "Yeah Right!" too.
I found the 64 min full version video on Youtube. Enjoy it!

Oh my God. She's so hot. She's so flippin' hot. She's like a curry.
I want to tell her how hot she is, but she'll think I'm being sexist.
She's so hot she's making me sexist.
Bitch.
I think I need a 1983 Casio DG-20 electric guitar
Set to electric mandolin
Some drums
Yeah
Hear me now!
I see you with a sign
I want to boom like it's never been done
Bust moves like the click boom of a gun
My beats stay locked and my eyes are zooming
My feet start tweaking and my body's booming
The first day of boom and the flowers are blooming
Booty boom bass and the party is booming
Boom ba-boom like a rocket taking off to the moon
Boom boom like a bride and boom-ah
See you shaking that boom boom
See you looking at my boom boom
See you want some boom boom
It's clear it's boom time
Boom boom
Let me buy you a boom boom
You order a fancy boom
You like boom
And I like boom
Enough small boom let's boom the boom-ah
Fast-forward, selecta
Now we're rolling on a boom boom
Riding to my private room
And we boom whats boom and we both assume
We're gonna boom boom boom 'til the break of boom
Who's the boom king?
Who?
I'm the boom king.
What?
Who's the boom king?
Tell me now.
I'm the boom king
He's the boom king
My phone is beeping, it's B-boom Boom
He's back from ten years doom and gloom
He said he had his boom chopped off in the boom
But the crazy boom still loves to boom
Unzip the boom and the lens goes boom
Your b-boom drops
Ba-boom ba-boom boom
We both get freaky and my boom gets leaky
Then we boom boom boom boom
Boom boom boom
Who's the boom king?
Who?
I'm the boom king
What?
Who's the boom king?
Hah!
I'm the boom king
Bret's the boom king

OMG!!! What the fxxk is this!!!!???? So funny!!! LMAO

Unbelievably skillful rider he is! Shutoko Highway is very very narrow, winding, and fxxkin' dangerous. This highway is in the center of Tokyo, so there are too much a lot of huge trucks.
Anyway it's a perfect video to learn about Japanese traffic problem and how Japanese are crazy. Big up!!

Nice, man! I love your red cap, especially!

I'm a big fan of him since the Bjork's music video. He used to be a commercial director (I dunno he's still doing that), and even those commercial films are very amazing too! Check 'em out!

Get real! lol

My friend Hon-chan taught this movie to me yesterday. They're extremely crazy!! I don't think that we can watch this movie in Japan, but I really hope to get the DVD or something. Oh, but it's totally better to watch in a theater with a huge screen, I guess... :-S

Cashback (2004)
Director: Sean Ellis
Writer: Sean Ellis

Synopsis: Hart broken and tortured by insomnia Ben apply for a job at the supermarket explaining his view and experience of female beauty. In his imagination he stops time and undress female customers to capture their beauty on paper between the pranks of his male co-workers. Time comes to pass and the girl in the cash register seen to grow in beauty in Bens eyes giving him a chance to let go of the past and move forward in life. The movie is about love, art and supermarket co-workers and shows an interesting view of time and time stopping. The most obvious art in the movie might be the one of drawing, capturing beauty, but the red thread in the story is the path between one lost relation and the passionate flames of new love and the feelings it conquers.

Yesterday, I and my friends from Tokyo went to watch the movie "Cashback" to Osaka European Film Festival 2007. Actually, one of those friends is a friend of the director Sean Ellis, so we could enter free! Thank you Sean and James! :-)
The movie was so funny and beautiful in same time. And what the amazing story it was!
I totally could understand Ben's sad feeling that comes after losing own sweetheart... Bottomless, hopeless, and endless. Everyone has this kinda experiences, I guess. If you don't have no experience like this, you would learn how much pain they get, by your own decisions. hehe...
Whatever, this movie will come to Japan next year, at last. I'm gonna watch again! 'Nuff respect, Sean!

I was zapping through Youtube and found this movie. Computer love!
My first memorial computer was PC-9801UV when I was 15 year old.
I was really into drawing some very simple graphics by Basic at that time.
Now, I don't know how many computers I've ever used, but I wouldn't forget about PC-98 seriese forever... (So what?)

I moved...
Especially the chorus women's dance.
I miss you mom!!

Treat her right
Treat your mother right
Treat her right
Treat her right
Mother
There is no other
Like Mother
So treat Her right
Mother
I always Love Her
My Mother
So treat Her right, treat Her right
M is for the moan, and the miserable groan
from the pain that She felt when I was born
O is for the oven with it's burnin' heat
where She stood makin' sure I had something to eat
T is for the time that She stayed up at night
and took my temperature when I wasn't feelin' right
H is for the hard earned money She spent
to keep clothes on my back and try to pay da' rent
E is every wrinkle I put on Her face
and every worry that I caused when I stayed out late
The last letter R is that She taught me Respect
and for the room up in Heaven that I know She'll get
MR. T Chorus
Female Chorus
She's a Queen
Second to none
Take care of Mother

She is a very popular comedian recently in Japanese internet scene. It's totally impossible to broadcast this program on public air, though... (This is an internet channel) I don't know how I can explain the reason why but, I think it's impossible still. You know what I mean?
Well, Giri Giri... LMAO

He's so funny. I've never seen before this kinda TV program in Japan. Well, it's totally impossible to broadcast this kinda cheating-celebrity programs, because of those Japanese celebrities are having a big power in this culture. To be exact, the talent management companies rule everything around advertising and entertainment industries. The power balance has pretty collapsed.
Let me say something, we wanna watch what we wanna watch! Fight the power that be! Stand up for your right!! Raise your hands together, brothers and sisters!!!
...well, what the fxxk am I talking about??? In fact, I just don't give a fxxk about this kinda gossips. :-P

You know this reality "viral movie" campaign by ecko unltd (of course, this was fake). This win a Grand-Prix title in Cannes international advertising awards 2006.
I collected some vandal videos those could influence echo to make these campaigns. Nothing but hard-core. Check those out now!

Free style! Sorry, I know that I gotta practice more and more...

How to Make Tofu

I really wanna get a lot of soybeans and try to make Tofu tonight! Oh, but Tofu is very cheap and delicious in here Japan (about one buck for one piece), so I don't know that I can endure to wait to eat one night.

Damn!!!! Look at the red shirts girl behind Stevie. She's sooooo cute! :O

This is the one of three most famous Matsuri in Japan. I'm working at the place near there so could join the festival for a few hours after finishing my job. There were really a lot of people, and many many stalls all around there. I was very enjoying yo! ;)

Heeeeee-Haw!! Thanx Kamo! Damn hot!!!

I really love this kinda animations. And even this kinda music too.
It's impossible to Japanese to make an animation movie which has an atmosphere like this. Very opposite impressions with recent Japanese animations. Of course I know it's pretending the very old-skool style. But still we can't do even pretending, at all. Because we were only watching "Dragon Ball", "Gundam" and "Doraemon" or something like these as very childish ones on TV, every weeks when we were children.
But now, anyone can watch this kinda foreign music videos or animations or any other movies on demand at Youtube. So the next generation will become like very mixed culture peoples, at least more than us.
Now, the young people who are using computers or some network devices everyday, it means that they are able to choose anything from very very huge shopping mall with unbelievably a lot of choices. At least hundred times huger than ours. Recently, many persons in Japanese advertising industry says like "This sounds like an example of 'The Long Tail model'". Yes, the Long tail model proves basically that the young generations' economical actions. Even that means every young people are choosing only things that they exactly want.

Whatever, so drunk... Hehehehe ;-S

Too ghey. lol

This presentation is really interested. Check it.
And it reminds me the great presentation by Dick Hardt who is the founder and CEO of Sxip Identity.

"Dick Hardt is brilliant. Watch (and copy) the style. Learn tons from the substance." - Lawrence Lessig
"Really captures the complexities of participating in an online world and how identity is at the center of the Web experience." - Dan Farber
"A barn-burner of a presentation. I loved this." - Cory Doctorow
"I watched it twice, and greatly enjoyed it both times." - Jon Udell

Great.

WHAT A CLASS!!! lol
I love it. I wanna watch this kinda show in Japan. But a cable TV is not popular in here, so it means that almost these programs are protected to be well-behaved by clients' opinion.
That's the reason why there are only ladies and gentlemen in Japan now. Good job!

These ones made by Robert Hodgin a.k.a. flight404. Titled Magnetic Sphere (audio by Karri O). You can make this kinda movie with your favorite songs in the iTunes! Check this Magnetosphere visualizer.
But reggae, ambient or something like slow ones aren't good choice for this. :S

And this one below is Pleix's new shit for Groove Armada! This method of making movie is completely opposite with the first one. Totally unautomatically. Both good though, Innit?
