I put my trust in the brush. I let the brush do what it wants to do.

I saw this when it aired. The program itself is almost always interesting no matter who's being interviewed, but of course, any interview with Takehiko Inoue is worth watching!

Here's a commercial that's airing right now in Japan. Cup Noodle.

He's done similar commercials before. Uno. Behind the scenes. Another version. Yet another.

Great stuff. His work is really unique. The dynamic quality of his characters' movements must come from the brush, and not the pen...

He is younger than I thought he was. I can't believe he was so young (early twenties) when he wrote Slam Dunk. Really cool program!
