Refreshing Work at Budweiser

Another old picture. Taken in Hong Kong a few years back…..I know, it looks worse than it is. He was working really hard before I took this shot, and then when I finally decided to take the picture, he took his break…. but it does look a bit like he was sampling the product doesn’t it? Leave him alone. He’s worked hard. Doesn’t he deserve a Bud?

Guerrilla Marketing on Bikes in Japan

Walking in the Umeda district of Osaka, I noticed a group of cyclists all dressed in uniform and obviously advertising something. It easily caught my attention, as it did everyone else, hence a successful guerrilla marketing concept: a bike parade!! It says “Children 110 Yen” (approx $1.45USD) so I assume it’s some sort of entrance price for an amusement park or something like that? 

None of them looked happy riding their bikes though, but it was a bit of a warm day. Or perhaps it was the basket in the front? If I got paid to ride around in circles all day, I would be happy!! In fact, I’d be ringing my bell too!! Imagine each bell had a different tone, and they were playing a tune while riding around? Now that would have been cool! Ride on Osaka!!

5 String Bass Street Performer in Harajuku

 Another picture from the archives…..

I love walking around Tokyo on the week-end, especially near the known street performance areas such as Harajuku.  These guys were really slick, especially this long, blond-haired, 5-string bassist. I love his stance and I love his pants. He kept his head down and rocked out, except his crazy hair was being tossed around as he rhythmically bobbed his head to the beat of the drums. Between songs, the lead singer would run around and hand out flyers to their next gig; but the bassist used that time to silently practice his scales!! How dedicated and how Japanese of him. Rock on Tokyo! Rock on 5-String Bass-Man!!
