There are typography that some artists create.
As I try to find some typography, I found some fun in typography of kanji.

Knaji , I see  a lot in Japan, can express various unique Designs.
For example,

This is one of examples of how kanji works here in Japan.
Not only in Japan, there are some advertisements that use Kanji in Asia.
This example is from a blog of how advertisements are used in Shanhai.
ほぼワインな日々This blogger went on a trip and found some kanji.


Not only for the Door and the advertisements above, Japanese kanji typography is loved by the world as we can see on their bodies.Yes, it is Tattoos.

kanji are kind of popular for tatoos. I see a lot of people who have kanji tattoos on their bodies such as 愛(Love).
This video shows what kind of tattoos are put on bodies.


I see fun in tattoos which Artists create by their imagination of typography.
We sometimes see a weird kanji tattoos. I guess in order not to make a weird tattoo, there is a blog of what kanji expresses what. You can see this blog Kanji Tatoo Symbols. As you read this blog, you will find that celebrities put kanji tattoos.

I am not supporting tattoos (even its kanji), but I am supporting unique designs of typography of anything whatever it is on advertisements.
As I introduced a lot of kanji typography, I introduce here NOT kanji typography! Check this blog of top fifty typography designs blogs!
This blog introduces a lot of blogs of typography. The Top 50 Typography Blogs.

I hope you enjoyed learning typography of kanji and tattoos!

our group. artist 1, is working on how artists use social media to promote themselves.

I focused on 神聖かまってちゃん(shinsei kamattechan) which is a japanese indie rock band and consists of four members which are Noko, Chibagin, Mono, and Misako.
The reason why I chose 神聖かまってちゃんis because the way they use social media is SO different from others.
I thought that most of bands either popular or indie use managers or companies to promote themselves which means bands are not basically promoting themselves but companies.
BUT in the case of 神聖かまってちゃん, the vocal of the group, NOKO, promotes his band himself by going on 2channel and Niko Niko douga and posting the link to his music videos to get attention by viewers.
Since his lyrics mean something relates to "a loser who have failed to make a connection with people"(which means himself) and music sound is random, the name "shinsei kamattechan" became widely known.

Not only the lyrics and music sound but also his performance on the stage should be paid attention.

His face sometimes gets covered by blood from his head.
His eyes are opened so much.
He sometimes takes his pants off.
and so on..
Since I cannot upload a photo of 神聖かまってちゃん、 I decided to draw a picture of Noko.
I hope you will get some sense of the band.
