I think the idea is more about Japan being on the other side of the world (upside down). And yes, made of Japan sounds weird.
"Made of Japan" was created by another agency for their integrated ad campaign. These guys have nothing to do with it whatsoever. Either they just decided to, or they were asked by the client to keep the line with these ads. Thus, mucking up the "original" concept devised by someone else. Sure, you still get the idea, but it now feels totally disjointed.
Only in the context of the original work, will the line make any sense.
Yes, the 'Made of Japan' campaign was kick-ass...
personally i dont get anything from this upside down campaign!!

Great art direction. Weak idea.
This is only a local insight. In Brasil Japan is "the other side of the planet", so when Brasil is "standing up" Japan is "upside down"
Doing great work is hard, criticize others is way easier.
thanx fot the explaination :)
Yes, its a local insight, but works for all América, from Alaska to Patagonia. Really nice campaign.
No, it doesn't.
Since when Alaska on the direct opposite side of the globe from Japan? You crack me up!
foreword: i know this is based on a local insight
