Murakami is also internationally recognized for his collaboration with designer Marc Jacobs to create handbags and other products for the Louis Vuitton fashion house.Takashi Murakami

Jay-Z About To Sign $150 Million Deal With Live Nation
What's good enough for Madonna and U2 is good enough for Jay-Z. Actually, what's good enough for Jigga is whatever those superstars get and more. According to The New York Times, the hip-hop kingpin is about to close on a deal that would have him leave his longtime record label, Def Jam, and sign with concert-promotions giant Live Nation for $150 million, one of the biggest music contracts ever awarded.
The Times reported that the deal, expected to be finalized next week, would include financing for Jay-Z's own entertainment venture, as well as the rights to his recordings and tours for the next decade.
After the tour, Live Nation plans to integrate the marketing of all of Jay's entertainment ventures under one roof, including his albums, tours and endorsements. The rapper told the paper, "I've turned into the Rolling Stones of hip-hop."

Michael Jackson concert promoter AEG Live to refund tickets
Michael Jackson's untimely death sent fans around the world into paroxysms of mourning. Closer to home, it created a logistical nightmare for AEG Live, the Los Angeles-based concert promoter behind the 50 comeback concerts that had been set to begin July 13 at London's O2 Arena.
The company sold more than 750,000 tickets for the performances, scheduled to run through March 2010, which amount to more than $85 million.
Today, AEG Live announced it would issue full refunds -- including all ticket service charges -- to fans from 200 countries who purchased tickets through "authorized agents."
Jackson’s final rehearsal could become last album
Michael Jackson's final rehearsal - on the eve of his death last week - could become his last album. The singer's preparations for his 'This is It' tour, which would have kicked off with 50 shows at London's O2 Arena from July 13, were recorded in high-definition video and multitrack audio. AEG Live, the concert promoters for Jackson's planned shows, told Hollywood website thewrap.com: "We have a live album in the can."
Photos from Wednesday night's rehearsal show Jackson on stage for the last time, looking fragile yet striking familiar poses and smiling. Jackson performed 11 songs at the rehearsal at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
More than 800,000 tickets costing up to £1,000 had been sold for the London concerts, which were rumoured to be "the most expensive and technically advanced" live shows ever. The show was to have featured a hovering orb, flaming bed, mutant spiders, 20ft puppets, 3-D effects and pyrotechnics. Jackson's manager Frank DiLeo said the singer was delighted with it. He said: "He put his arm around me and said, 'Frank, I am so happy, this is really our time'."
In other developments:
• AEG Live has offered Jackson fans the option of keeping the tickets they would have received for the 'This is it' concerts as souvenirs - but they will have to forego a refund in return. "The tickets printed with the special lenticular process, were inspired and designed by Michael Jackson for the fans attending his shows," reads a statement on michaeljacksonlive.com, the website set up to promote the concert series.
• Posthumous sales of Michael Jackson's back catalogue have surpassed the demand for singles and albums by Elvis and John Lennon at the time of their death, music chain HMV has revealed.
