how do you have time to vlog so much? what do you do for a living?

België

There are two languages in Belgium, French and Dutch, I live in the French speaking area and you spell it "Belgique" which is pronounced beljeek, so I guess that the ii part at the end is more correct, and in Dutch it is Belgïe, and the Japanese way is pronounced like the Dutch way but with a Japanese accent
-
Very interesting video keep up with the videos 👍
-
Look more younger without your glasses
-
Victor,
Happy Birthday and Kampai! -
Belgium is pronounced Bélgique.

I don't think the guy stole anything... He made a minimalistic logo using shapes... When doing that kind of minimalistic-shaped design, you just don't have a lot of options (in terms of variation). You just choose some shapes and organize them in a specific way. And that's it. Whatever you do in this style, probably, somewhere in the world, someone has already done something similar (I mean, choose the same shapes and organized them in the same way). That's why it's not a good idea to use minimalistic design for a super important logo like this.

Actually Paris with an "s" is the historically accurate pronunciation, and how it was said at the time that French words were incorporated into English. Dropping final consonants is something that rose to dominance a few hundred years ago, long after their spelling was already standardized, so you could argue that the French are the ones mispronouncing the name of this old city.

So... is Victor dead?
-
Hey Victor.......if that was really you. ( what happened to the beard ? )
It was neat to hear Tomoko acting as off screen director in this. Was she
having a bad hair day?
I was remembering when seeing the Japanese subway at end of video in previous video you mentioned
there are markings on floor for people to stand for special cars like all woman car.
Do they have place labeled on ground for " Chikan " ?
Haha ( gaijin horse laugh )
Still loving Little Godzilla Face Plant....did you edit in a Thunk? -
Okay, I did what you said, Victor. I thumbsed down the video. I feel dirty now...
-
Thank you for picking up important subject. I was curious your opinion!
-
To me that T logo is plagirism.
-
Where is the new content... its been 4 days fucker
-
Is it just me or does Victor look younger in this ?!
-
Nice ending song.
-
More than the "Plagiarism" stuff, I just think it's a sad logo, and for an Olympics event (or just a Sport event in general), the logo has to be happy, cheerful, full of positivity. The logo they used when Tokyo was a candidate city was so much better and inspired all that "Omotenashi" mentality. Come on Japan! I want my country to surprise and impress the world as always!.
-
No Tomoko no like.

I'm sure Dentsu probably copied the image. Big ad agencies always do a trade mark search, and I'm sure they decided they could design it "different enough". They are HUGE, not only in Japan, but all over the world. I mean Godzilla huge. Lots of rumors about them, none of them good. They were the ones that put paid actors into government town hall meetings to sway the opinion of the electorate, for example. But, if you're an outsider company wanting to break into the Japanese market, Dentsu is the agency you'd better hire. Facebook found out the hard way.
