Testimonials

'Between August and December, we placed four full page ads and have received a very good response. I felt it was one way to directly get the word out to the many Asian Americans across the country.'

 

Lane Nishikawa,
writer/director,
"Only the Brave"

 

'Over the past years, our advertisements in the Pacific Citizen has prompted inquiries, not only from the West Coast (California, Oregon and Washington), but also from as far away as New York, Chicago and even Florida. We are happy that our ad works in areas outside of our immediate area of Los Angeles.'

 

Peggy T. Mikuni,
President,
Yamato Travel Bureau

 

'Advertising in the Pacific Citizen has proven to be a great way to sell and market the DVD I produced. The P.C. was the best way to reach the Japanese American demographic at a national level, and I recommend it without hesitation.'

"Going for Honor, Going for Broke: The 442 Story"
