(Flexing it one last time before takeoff. Menu boasted 3 chili’s in spiciness)

Meet Daniel. He came here about 2-3 years ago. I forgot exactly when since it seems so long ago, perhaps longer than it really is.

We got to know each other over at Newstoday as he were skimming the condition of the Japanese industry for creatives. Once he came over I shared some work and that’s the start of the story. There’s more to it but I’ll keep it short: despite coming in from scratch (market-wise) he eventually recieved work with some huge agencies here like Hakuhodo, but lately found something much better.

…Unfortunately, abroad.

A day or 2 before departure We had some serious talk about life, birth, lawyers. Ask me about it some other time.

Here’s to both of us and that it all will, once again and as always, solve for the better.
