Great news!!

I’m happy to announce that We won an Editor’s Choice Award from the STUDIO VOICE magazine, which is one of well known arts and culture magazines in Japan, in the music promotion video category of Bajune Tobeta’s “Asian Flower feat. Ryuichi Sakamoto.” I did character design on this. Please take a look when you have little down time. It’s only 30 sec long. (Please click “watch in HD” button down right in the YouTube video.)

It’s all in Japanese, but the behind the scene video of judges reviewing finalist videos is also available. Our work is appears around 1 min point.

By the way! I didn’t forget to cast a cute little kitten on her shoulder!! =^_^=

Have you ever heard of The Ten Commandments of Pet Ownership? If not, I’d like to share with you.

“The Ten Commandments of Pet Ownership” 

When you adopt me my life is likely to last 15 to 20 years. Please don’t forsake me, any separation from you will be very painful.

ten_commandments_noa_ash_06.jpg

Please give me time to understand what it is you want from me. Change can be more difficult for me than for you.

ten_commandments_noa_ash_102.jpg

Please trust me and help me to trust you… it is crucial for my well being as well as yours.

ten_commandments_noa_ash_09.jpg

Don’t be angry with me for too long, and don’t lock me up as punishment. You have your work, your friends, your entertainment. I have only YOU.

ten_commandments_noa_ash_05.jpg

Talk to me. Even if I don’t understand your words, I understand your voice when you’re speaking to me.

ten_commandments_noa_ash_0111.jpg

Be aware that however you treat me, I’ll never forget it.

ten_commandments_noa_ash_07.jpg

Before you hit me, remember that I have teeth that could easily crush the bones in your hand, but I choose not to hurt you.

ten_commandments_noa_ash_10111.jpg

Before you scold me for being lazy or uncooperative, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Is there another reason for my behavior? Perhaps I’m not getting the right food, or I’ve been out in the sun too long, and my heart may be getting old and weak. Try to understand what it is like to be me.

ten_commandments_noa_ash_03.jpg

Please take care of me when I get old. Don’t abandon me, for you, too, will grow old.

ten_commandments_noa_ash_011111.jpg

Go with me on difficult journeys. Never say, “I can’t bear to watch it”, or, “Let it happen in my absence.” I need you with me even at the end of my journey. Please always do what is best for me even if it is unbearable for you to do so – because I love you and trust that you will.
