Prestel Vid and giveaway

Thanks so much to Bianca from Prestel and Gael Level of Level Photography for shooting this in Paris, you can get a glimpse into the bedlam of Japan Expo. (I'm not too sure how many times I say "um" in this video!!)

Also, Prestel have a giveaway on their facebook (Takuya Angel scarf/ mask), check it out and enter by sharing the vid/ liking prestel on FB.















A side note: I met with a journalist recently who innocently asked if I get endorsed for any of my interviews. Asides from sales from the actual book; no, no, no and no. It is a fair question, as I know it is a trend for bloggers to brag about going on tourism association junkets, amassing free goods and writing cheesey advetorial posts about it, but rest assured Kawaii, kokeshi, and my other journalism or book projects are not ads in disguise.

I am teaming up with/ supporting people, events or companies because I think they are genuinely interesting, pertain to the topic, or are worth writing about.

The TA gear was actually one of the items we shot for the Kurebayashi shoot, the other mononoke scarf went to my editor,... leaving one for a lucky winner! Thanks to prestel for organizing this, xxxxx
