Adidas - Break Up Service (Japan)


Kosai Sekine directs this funny new ad/short for Adidas out of of TBWA/London. To promote Adidas' new Originals Safety Collection, this piece give you a look inside the life of Akira, a man who runs the No Sad, Big Smile Break-Up Service. His heart grows cold as he delivers bad news to not-so-significant others all over Tokyo. A clever campaign executed beautifully.

B-boys–Ichigecki (Nippon)


Video of Ichigecki, Japanese b-boy troupe, competing at the 2005 Battle of the Year (BOTY). This is one of the sickest b-boy routines I've seen (keep in mind that I'm no expert on 'B-boy routines'). These boys devote their lives to these moves, competing against the worlds best B-boys for a purse of nickels and dimes. They won 1st place in show for this routine but took 2nd place over all, losing in the final battle to the b-boy masters Last 4 One out of Korea. Ok, I know I'm talking 2005 here but regardless it's some next level shit. Just watch.
