So here it is, the last week of the 2nd T-1 WORLD CUP!
The deadline of the votes (= the orders) is 3:00pm Japan time, July 10th!
Who is going to become champion!
Who are you going to vote for?
Today, we have two new articles to help you make your decision
Actors and Actresses of Tomorrow and the T-1 T-shirts!
T-1 Correspondents Overseas and their Reports!
The photos of the students at the institute of theatrical performance will surely give you a good image of the t-shirts actually worn.
The comments we received from overseas will definitely be a good reference for you to read!
Stay tuned for the last week of the competition!
A few of our staffs are running around Japan delivering additional stickers and flyers!
We’re calling it the “T-1 Japan Tour”!
They are reporting their journey as they go along. Check out their reports here!
E-mail us at mail@t-1.cc if you happen to bump into any of our staffs at the museums!
And please drop by at the museum to take a look if you have the time!

Hi all!
The T-1 team model project started from one simple desire.
We want to show more people wearing the T-1 t-shirts!
The third team model for the T-1 team model project is 25 actors and actresses of tomorrow, studying acting at the Institute of Theatrical Performance at the New National Theatre Tokyo!
This institute is the first national school of theatrical performance in Japan, opened just two years ago.
30 first year and second year students are studying acting every day here.
The star of tomorrow may be in this class!
A wonderful flock of models for the T-1 WORLD CUP!
So again, we went off to see them at their school.
Hi all!

Hello!
You don’t have to be so polite, you know!
Thank you for being our model, you all must be busy practicing!
Everyone had a good posture and a well-projected voice. The achievement of everyday practice, I suppose?
We’d really love to show everyone the energy and friendship they have…
Well, they are, actors and actresses, right?
Let’s have them move freely!
Go ahead and practice!

Dance, dance and dance…

The pose of a fan!

Um.. the “Garbage Busters”?
Okay guys, ready?
Click the photos!

Thank you, thank you!
We’re sure your energy and friendship is captured in the photographs!
As usual we asked them which t-shirt they think will win!
The number one t-shirt of the Institute of Theatrical Performance of New National
no.1
sleeping fish
Shin Sobue

Shin! Are you watching?
The students chose your t-shirt as number one!
Thank you again, everyone at the Institute of Theatrical Performance at the New National Theatre Tokyo!

Different cultures, different taste!
We’d like to know what people outside Japan think, and which t-shirt they will choose!
So we recruited T-1 correspondents for overseas, and we’ve received some reports!
Correspondent RansuYoko, who works at a cruise company for sightseers, reports from Australia.

White sand beach that stretches out for 40 kilometers, the sun shining upon everyday…
The Gold Coast.
It’s sunny almost every day, rainy days and cloudy days are rare. People living in such climate naturally become cheerful and friendly.
I interviewed my friend FAY (photo) what she thinks of the T-1 t-shirts!

want
champion
Fighting Club
poledesign

This t-shirt is really creative. It’s interesting, incorporating an imaginary animal, and the soccer ball looks like an eyeball! I want this t-shirt, and I think it’s the one to win.
(FAY)
In Australia, there are many things with an Asian taste to it, and is considered stylish. This t-shirt has that Asian aspect that is appealing to a non-Asian. It’s nice! I think it will become popular if sold in Australia.
I saw a TV program the other day, with a celebrity wearing a sports uniform type t-shirt with “Kyoto” on it in Kanji.
As for my opinion, I’m deciding whether to buy “104.5 degrees” by Taku Satoh, or “Interstellar Greeting Card” by Silas Hickey of Australia.
Both t-shirts look intelligent and sexy!

So Asia is “in” in Australia! Fighting Club is just the t-shirt!
Thank you RansuYoko, for the report and all the detailed information of your location!
Our next correspondent is Makoto, who lives in Setagaya Tokyo with her husband and her one year old son. She interviewed her friends overseas through e-mail!
I interviewed Patrice, a former colleague of mine. He lives in his homeland Paris with his newly wed wife.

want
Bara Iro
Naoto Fukasawa

I perceive football as a peaceful and gentle sport, so I chose this. The design is simple, and the color used as accent is really nice.
want
MounT. FUJI
Gugi Akiyama

If this MounT.FUJI was a deep navy color than this purple, I would’ve definitely bought it! The concept, the idea, and the design are all superb! It’s really Mount Fuji.
champion
Ma Eum
Mimi Son

It’s like “zen”. I think many people will like it, regardless of gender.
(Patrice)
When I asked him about the T-1 WORLD CUP, he said that:
The concept is interesting! I think it’s good to have a mixture of cultures.
I would like to know which t-shirts the designers actually like.

My next interview was to the boyfriend of my friend from college, Stefano. He lives in London now.
want
champion
Be Great
Kam Tang

The design is cool, and it reminds you of the football World Cup, and it catches your eye with this cartoon like drawing.
I thin this t-shirt will win, and I want to buy the t-shirt that I think will win!
(Stefano)

My last interview was to Christina, a friend from my cooking school.
She’s from Spain, and lives in Yokohama now, teaching Spanish.

want
Ventriloquist of Eleven
Nando Costa

The design and the colors are of my taste.
I think it has the most originality.
champion
Blue baby
Hamasutra

I think either “Blue Baby” by Hamansutra or “Ventriloquist of Eleven” is going to win. I personally think men will like the design of the “Blue Baby” t-shirt.
(Christina)

Wow!
Different cultures, different taste!
In our reports, the Asian designs seemed to be popular. The t-shirts of Japanese designers, Mimi from Korea, and Poledeisign of China gained many favorable comments!
And FAY who lives near Asia said the “Fighting Club” is number one, while Chiristina from Spain thinks Nando from Brazil is number one.
I wonder if geometrical closeness or cultural similarities affect their decision.
It was really interesting to hear their voice.
Thank you again for the interviews!
