About NEW PEOPLE
NEW PEOPLE offers the latest films, art, fashion and retail brands from Japan and is the creative vision of the J-Pop Center Project and VIZ Pictures, a distributor and producer of Japanese live action film. Located at 1746 Post Street, the 20,000 square foot structure features a striking 3-floor transparent glass façade that frames a fun and exotic new environment to engage the imagination into the 21st Century.
NEW PEOPLE will become a destination in itself and a source of stimulation for both San Francisco locals and tourists, bringing a new cultural energy to an area filled with history. With three stories above and a basement below, NEW PEOPLE will share Japanese cinema, retail and art, all under one roof. NEW PEOPLE will attract those eager explore new cultural inspirations or who would like a crash course in Japanese popular culture.
About the J-pop Center Project
Launched by the visionary Seiji Horibuchi, founder and CEO of VIZ Pictures and founder of VIZ Media, the driving force behind this project is to create a dedicated platform to foster the appreciation, preservation and exposure of Japanese popular culture and to connect the public with its creators. The J-pop Center Project sparks creative alliances and collaborations across different media: film, animation, music, art and product. Following the spirit of the J-pop Center Project, the plan is to expand this vision globally in the near future.
