COMMENT: Cool Flyer 0003 (Kyoko's choice) is for Pipe Cafe in Osaka. It has mirror-effect with old American car style from '70s. Maybe this is Dodge or Plymouth make.

I used to see this type of car in American detective dramas like "Starsky + Hutch," "Kojak," "San Francisco Streets," and so on. Every episode of this kind of television program showed a car chase, and the car always crashed into a stack of cardboard boxes or a stall selling flowers. Always the same recipe but a little different: person sees car coming at high speed, then jumps out of way and shouts, "Oh my, god," "Whooo," or same thing like that. Then, car hits boxes or flowers. Sometimes they have slow-motion of this part. Boxes and flowers fly out everywhere. Maybe this is the idea for this design.

INTERPRETATION: Retro-imagery triggers memories and a feeling that is like the music of the club: We know the style. We know the routine. Some is predictable, but other is not. Yet it's always exciting. It's speed and then crash.

RATING: 7/10

COMMENT: Cool Flyer 0004 (Ken's choice) is for an event at Club Dawn, a well-known and progressive space in Osaka, Japan. Many great DJs and other artists have had nights here.

The event is called Public Cafe. I don't know if this has a special meaning, except for the symbol that is popular on Communist nations' flags sometimes. I think the picture is cool: a mysterious spy-terrorist with innocent sexy girl. His outfit is a cross of Batman and clothes in the movie Fifth Element (JP Gaultier was designer for that movie). But the photo has definite 1960s feeling. And it looks like the spy-terorist and girl are in a cave. I think maybe the girl's clothes are too skimpy, like she is rescued before going to sleep.

INTERPRETATION: Intrigue, danger and kinky sex await for you in the underground of clubs. Not always true. But sometimes... Yes!
