Nike Japan has launched a global 'Write the future' campaign for the FIFA World Cup 2010 starring iconic Brazilian-Japanese footballer Marcus Tulio Tanaka.

The campaign can be accessed via Nike Japan's website nike.jp/football/future/. Nike's creative agency Wieden+Kennedy Tokyo, utilises Twitter in asking the public to submit their comments in support of the World Cup. The best comments will be selected in four phases over the duration of the campaign.

The best messages will be carved on a life-size statue of Tanaka placed at Nike’s Harajuku store. Four cameras have been set up to capture when a winning message is carved on the statue. The campaign ends on 17 July.






Translated synopsis:
I am Japanese.
Everything starts now.
The world will take notice and doubt will be erased.
I am a defender that will attack in a split second.
Prayers will be answered.
One moment will last for eternity.
One game.
One play.
And everything will change.
Marcus Tulio Tanaka
Write the future.
