Yamakataya Cosmetics Ad
Yet another bad ad. It doesn't show up that well in the photo, but the super-enlarging of the make-up around the eyes made the foreground model indistinguishable from a mannequin, or a corpse.
I'm the guy that created the Akira Toriyama Super Database, as well as the .Hack-oriented Helba Gata. Back in the 1990's, I lived in Japan for 2 years, working as a video game programmer and as a technical writer for Hitachi. After returning to the States and living in Texas for 10 years, I've decided to try living in Japan again. I'm interested in various manga, and to a lesser extent various anime. I'm also studying nihon-go.
