    It’s great that Murakami is giving Japanese (manga/anime) style art a good image, but I bet half the people don’t even give a damn about the Japanese comic book and animation culture. Most likely due to the negative or not-so-classy aspects: the fans, content etc..

    I’d like to see Mr.Murakami take a hand full of Japanese manga/anime artists and ask them to create something. Bring the underdogs unto the spot light for the whole world to see.
    That is if they’re willing to be open minded and ignore the high-class-ass society.
