JAPAN

So In Japan everything seems like its meant to be fun.... thas why I cant wait to go next summer.. i feel like an immigrant coming to America (Fieval Goes West) "In America there are no cats and the streets are paved with cheese"..yeah if you never saw the movie its about mice comin to America with the promise of cheese paved streets. but Im losing focus..my bad. So researching for my upcoming packaging and branding project a friend  sent me a link to the johnny cupcakes website. i guess he recently went to japan and was awed by their cool packaging..as was I just lookin at his snapshots... heres one for example..

Come one where else other then japan would this packaging fly...I'm sure not in America. 

Oh yeah and not to mention the fashion in japan...my dude hakim told me to make sure i come back rocking some japanese sneakers (ie: YOHJI YAMAMOTO Y3'S)

Even though like most artists he's not completely satisfied with the entire work ..who is.especially since I'm sure he's going to be the premiere filmaker whos going to change things up..but yeah I had my little cameo in the video too bad I was playing a regular person and didnt get my little JUS INK in the bottom like Tolu and Boss did. but check it out hit up his music page.. http://www.myspace.com/rbsingertone Definately check out the other tracks by this artist also the lyrics and vocals are sick..quality music.
