Nagi Noda, the Japanese artist/designer/director behind groundbreaking music videos and spots passed away on Sunday, September 7. She was 35. Noda had experienced ongoing complications related to a bad car accident last year that resulted in chronic pain. The exact cause of death was not specified.

"Beyond being a brilliant artist and wonderful talent, Nagi was one of the most incredibly unique spirits that I have known," says Sheila Stepanek, CEO/EP Partizan US, which represented Noda. "Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends." Stepanek says that Noda passed "in her Mark Ryden dress, Chanel boots, perfect make-up with Viktor & Rolf lace black eye lashes."

Noda was best known in the ad industry for her fantastic "Sentimental Journey" clip for Japanese pop star Yuki, which featured multiple "analog" clones of the singer and was featured in Saatchi's 2006 New Directors Showcase

你或許未看過coca cola 的紅衣女生廣告，
也未看過半邊臉怪熊貓hanapanda，
但b+ab那套"裙底"相也應該看過吧。

雖然不是她的big fans，
但今天知道她的死訊後，
很震驚，心裏很不舒服，
為甚麼呢?
一個如此有才華、年輕的女生竟然這樣就走了
太可惜了。

再看今天消防隊目蕭永方的喪禮新聞，
唉，
太可惜了，
為甚麼呢?
