We have great news!
Our NYN Media Director, Christian Zevallos Nakandakari is now a finalist for the 2010 Nippon Foundation Short film contest! Congratulations!!! we will be cheering for him on the awarding ceremony (where we will know if he is victorious), on Saturday November 6th in The Nippon Foundation Bulding.
His video has caused a lot of Buzz because it is about foreigners living in Japan, and how their smile connects them to Japan and their homeland.
You can see it here. 
The music he uses in the video is from Pedro Suárez-Vértiz, one of Peru’s most popular artists. The video somehow got to him and he was very touched with the video that he wrote it in his facebook fanpage, getting more than 300likes and 100 comments in 4 hours! His fanpage is made out of more than 131,000 fans so Christian here is very excited with the news!

How to get to the Nippon Foundation Building?
Our offices are five to six minutes from any of three major subway stations in downtown Tokyo. If you wish to use Google maps please click here.
- Toranomon Station (Ginza Line) Leave the station from Exit 3, and walk straight up the street. The Nippon Zaidan building is a 8-story building on the other side of the first pedestrian bridge you come to.
- Tameikesannou Station (Ginza Line, Namboku Line) Leave the station from Exit 9, and walk straight down Sotobori Dori (Ave.) toward Toranomon. On the right, you will see a Mobile Gas Station. The Nippon Zaidan Building is the 8-story building just beyond the gas station.
- Kokkai Gijido Station (Marunouchi Line, Chiyoda Line) Leave the station from Exit 3. Go around the corner to the left, keeping the Diet Press Center on your left. Cross Roppongi Dori (Ave.) and continue until you run into Sotobori Dori (Ave.). The Nippon Zaidan Building is the 8-story building across the street.
