And it's another iPod spoof! This time, of the Shuffle version of the product.
Inspiration comes from odd places. In this case, I was reporting rips of several wallpapers taken directly from the official Samurai Champloo website, which led me to double check the rest of the SC gallery to make sure there weren't any other rips, when I noticed my old scan of the group, and Mugen's upside down, spinning commotion.
For some reason I thought it would be perfect for an iPod ad.
Samurai Champloo is very much about its music, and it's mixture of music at that - "champuru" in the original sense was a Japanese (Okinawan) dish that blends all sorts of flavors from various cultures. (source)
It's all about mixing things up.
And so is the Shuffle.
Bing!
A quick trace of Mugen from the scan, the arrows from the Apple website, a Shuffle and headphones and there you go.
It's red, because Mugen and green just aren't compatible. Unfortunately, red and JPEG compression are also very incompatible. Please full view, it's nice and clean in the full size version.

Aspiring Mafia Plug
Who: Crapmonster
What: Nana "Live"
Why: A lot of Crapmonster's more stylized vector walls are overlooked in favor of his other major style of grunge and light/dark balance. This Nana wallpaper is just one example - simple, crisp, clean, a great stylized image of a band and a cheering crowd - I could easily have thought this was an official band poster or something similar.

    very nicely done, clean, simple, and eye catching. good job, although it looks as if the guy isnt on the same ground as the arrows are...or that may be a wall...im confused.

    not to be an asshat, but your iPod shuffle is very jaggedy and messy around the edges. if you have CRTs, you might not see it; but I sure do on the LCDs. sorry.

    Then you should blame your own LCD boink, because mine doesn't show any jagged line. ;)

    its a smooth clean cut. nice work tama, any tips on how to do this kinda thing proper?

  11. ejwcobra Jul 01, 2005

    i really enjoy these iPod spoofs that you make, the shuffle version is a good idea too. i hope to see more soon!

    Oh wow, Tama. . . that's absolutely brilliant!

    Mugen doing his breakdance-jutsu really is the perfect subject for an iPod advertisement, and the Shuffle just suits him perfectly. I don't know if it's intentional, but that the shuffle logo evokes the infinity symbol, which Mugen took as his personal signature, which makes it that much more fitting. Excellent choice of subtitle text, by the way!

    Love it; definitely a favorite!

  14. nighthawk51 Jul 03, 2005

    Cool! true to the style of the series and the ipod ads both. Great work!

  15. kawaiiguy Jul 04, 2005

    Wow. That totally rocks. I have a new favorite wallpaper. Too iPods can't have wallpapers...

    Why not Mugen Style (instead of Champloo Style)?

  16. shinorei Jul 04, 2005

    I love all your i-pod wallpaper advertisments. They are so cool. :D
    And this featuring Samurai Champloo...XD So champloo-ish. ^^
