MTV Japan is the Japanese version of the cable television network based in Japan. Viacom once again formed a contract with Music Channel and created a revival of MTV Japan on January 1, 2001. I was working at MTV's international division as Executive Producer/Creative Director to lead localization of MTV Japan's creative team. These images are created for the pre-launch landing page for during renewal. But it ended up with a media kit, and also actual TV show was created based on the Illustration (Food cart with DJ set).
