TokyoDV Street Fashion: Fall Collage
A dog in a shirt, some punks in suits, and a girl in a kilt.. Shot in the Omotesando area of Tokyo.
Shibuya Paradise: Digiko Girls
On my way to another shoot in Yoyogi Park, I stumbled upon the Digiko Girls ‘performing’ outside Hachiko exit in Shibuya.
The sun glistened off their shiny black boots as they squeeked out their latest tune..
No one seemed to mind they couldn’t sing since they provided colorful energy on an otherwise monotonous day.
TDV Street Fashion: Fashion Fight!
Two girls play frisbee one afternoon, then end up fighting, wrestling, and shooting each other with squirt guns.. What can I say? This is Japan. 
We had a lot of fun shooting this clip. I rented a Cube car, bought a six pack of beers, and brainstormed different shooting ideas. The video is still quite popular.. I’m not sure why.. Well, yeah. I know why.

TDV Street Fashion: Mana’s Blue Pants
Mana likes ‘grotesquely’ beautiful accessories. Here, we interview her after a smoke-break outside her clothing store in Harajuku. She’s wearing pointed shoes, baggy blue pants, and a simple brown t-shirt.
I was impressed with her sense of ’self’; it seems a lot of ‘fashionable’ people are playing roles - their outer shells don’t represent who they are.. With Mana, I felt her fashion was a mirror of her personality. It was a refreshing experience in a city based mainly on appearance..

Paradise TV Strives for Stupidity, Sex (article)
“Paradise is totally different from other adult video channels,” explains manager of international sales, Kenichiro Suzuki, from Paradise headquarters in a commercial block of Tokyo’s Shinjuku Ward. “We have many more stupid shows. They (standard porn channels) sometimes have them. But we concentrate on making them.”The chaos continues: flapping newspapers flutter past (with one momentarily clinging to her forehead); snow begins falling; and more clothing vanishes. In the end, she is covered in a dusting of white flakes and a grin…
TDV Reports: ParadiseTV Weather Forecast
(Not Safe For Work!) The weather section from the Bathing Newscast at Paradise TV.
As you’ll see, the weather looks rough this time of year; winter storm warnings are in effect for most of Japan with gusts of wind exceeding 100 braziers per hour. Snow flurries causing problems with visibility will leave many dependant on nipply goosebumps for guidance.. And sudden swells along the coast warrant a rare winter typhoon warning with expected loss of morality..
Be careful out there; Japan has crazy weather patterns this time of year…

Kodak E-Revolution 2002: Mini OLED Screens
A short video clip of some mini OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) screens, apparently designed for cell phones.
Actually, at the dislplay booth, I thought I remembered reading these displays were prototype plasma screens, but my memory could be failing me; I couldn’t find anything online regarding plasma cell phone displays.. The crisp clarity of the video images on the tiny screens make it hard for me to believe they’re OLED..
This clip is from 2002, and it appears the Sanyo/Kodak OLED team has since been disbanded.. “Under a deal worked out between the two companies, Sanyo will first buy Kodak’s stake in the venture then shut it down.” - CDR Info

KOMADORI Bros. T-Shirt: Grab One Today!
The KOMADORI Bros. came out with a custom designed t-shirt a few years ago. I asked if I could sell it on TokyoDV. They obliged, so I had another excuse to ask Toku-chan to be my t-shirt model; she fills out shirts perfectly, making them irresistible.. She was one of the models for the TokyoDV clothing line video, Fashion Fight!
I’m not sure if the concept of this short video is apparent, but it came out basically how I wanted.. Woman looks seductively into camera searching for something. Woman gets surprised, grabs what is most precious to her; her t-shirt..
I still have a few KOMADORI shirts lying around, so you can order them here. The quality is great and design original..

Fertility Festival: Taiko Throbbing
Since the Kawasaki Fertility Festival was this weekend, I decided to review some clips I made a few years ago.
Here we see a female Taiko group beat their drums to encourage fertility.. Taiko drums are impressive live; you can feel the pounding penetrate your lungs and go right through you.
The rhythm of this beating was perfect for the Fertility Festival; quick, constant, pounding, pulsating.. throbbing.

TokyoDV Models: Anjela
Anjela came over one Autumn day to make a little video collage. The blue sky, vivid sun, and Fall colors added to her striking beauty; Her dark eyes seem to go right in and through you.. I tried capturing this on tape.
“My name is Anjela and I’m from Sakhalin, Russia. I am of Korean blood, but I was born and raised in Russia. I like reading books (especially Russian love stories) travelling, dancing, kids, watching movies, and making friends from around the world. My dream is to become a model. I love having my picture taken and feel very comfortable in front of the camera..â€
I was very comfortable with her in front of the camera..
