Branding Tokyo: I need your dirty little minds!
Virtualgirl | 11:56 PM on 10.13.2007 39 comments


Yeah, I know, I use you guys as resources for a ton of my school projects, and that is why I love you all so much!!!!

So for my Integrative Campaign class, we need to brand a location in the world and I picked Tokyo. Below is some of the info, but what I need your help with is creating a tagline. My professor believes that because my audience is so much fun, that my tagline needs to be kind of bizarre. She actually thinks that “nerdgasm” is perfect for Tokyo, but I am not 100% sold on that yet. I need you guys to help me come up with a funny and slightly provocative or funny tagline that will make my audience laugh…I like the idea of using the funny Japanese to English translations that don’t work out too well somehow…Anyway, help me brainstorm please!!

The best ones I have so far are:
“Better than a basket of kitties”
“Nerdgasm”
“your head asplode”
“epic win”

See why I need help?

Audience:

My Audience encompasses people with avid interests in anime, manga, cosplay and videogames. In most countries, those who fall into this group are considered a subculture, making the idea of a city saturated in their interests appealing. My audience has some expendable income, but not enough to make the trip to Tokyo without careful consideration and planning. They are drawn to Tokyo for the shopping, the ability to find cheap and rare goods that are hard to import, and to experience the popular culture that spills out on to the streets.

Here is my Brand Positioning:

“Offering a lifetime of experiences in a single city, Tokyo is a Mecca for avid anime, manga, cosplay and videogame enthusiasts. Collectors and fans from around the world will always find what they are looking for while fully indulging in shopping, gaming and participating in the popular culture of this eclectic city.”

I recommend the Japanese title for Duck Tales on NES: Naughty Duck's Dream Adventure.

@ whiteboy0869:

I'm going to take your last statement as saying that Dutch is sexy and lucky.

Know how I know you're gay, whiteboy0869? Cuz you hit on Dutch.

"I just looked over Virtualgirl's profile for the 1st time. Wow, hot pics. Very sexy, lucky husband."

The last sentence as is has one subject (Dutch) and two adjectives that we can only assume relate to it.

Perhaps what you meant was along the lines of:
"I just looked over Virtualgirl's profile for the 1st time and WOW, hot pics...very sexy.¹ Lucky husband.

¹: Notice the use of a period between thoughts clarifies things. Unless, indeed, you were hitting on Dutch...then my suggestion merely twisted your intentions in a way opposite your goal.

From Virtualgirl's profile:

" I love female game characters who are hot and kick ass, and never get pissed about the skimpy outfits they run around in"

I love them also. You should do some DOA cosplay just for me, your biggest fan.

Please do it for my sanity. And for when the wife isn't home. In all seriousness, you are very beautiful and I would like to make sexy time with you.

Yes, I kno Borat is kind of played out, but that's all I could come up with. What can I say? I ran out of Red Bull

Enjoy the contest!
