MTV Japan represents the Japanese iteration of the cable television network MTV. On January 1, 2001, Viacom renewed its partnership with Music Channel, which facilitated the revival of MTV Japan. During this period, I held the positions of Executive Producer and Creative Director within MTV's international division, where I was responsible for overseeing the localization initiatives of MTV Japan's creative team. The visuals I developed were initially intended for the pre-launch landing page related to this renewal; however, they subsequently evolved into a comprehensive media kit. Additionally, a television program was conceptualized that integrated an illustrated food cart with a DJ set.
