Japan ‘OBEY!’
Mo’ betta’ that Obey Kitty is…
This “Hope” poster in the style of the “Obey Giant” of Shepard Fairey has even showed up here on the streets of uber-trendy Daikanyama-Shibuya, Tokyo. As far the Japanese are concerned, Barack Obama represents hope for the otherwise wacked-out America as you can watch in this CNN Tokyo report, Obama boom in Japan.
In addition, the AP reports that, “Germans are gaga over Barack Obama. He’s got Japan pretty jazzed, too”.
Directly above is the Japanese cover of Obama’s current best seller in Japan.

watch out….you might be giving ideas to Blinky Ishihara…..he loves words like Obey!
I think Blinky is like Davros the Dalek creator…”Obey! You will Obey! Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate!” Can’t you just hear him say that in Nihongo?
