My long time favorite... Tommy Lee's Japanese voice makes me laugh EVERY TIME.



I always show this video to new friends! It's my ice breaker, haha!
It's a hilarious video about a prank involving a bike bell... see for yourself!

I don't know the companies well enough to remember the names, so I can't look up my favourite current commercials. So what I'll do is write down the company name next time they're on and then share.

Not a favourite, but I was amused when watching Japanese TV recently, to notice that the latest kindle advert is almost identical to the UK one. I mean, the same format and the people (who are definitely not actors posing as members of the public, right?^^) say such spookily similar things about the kindle. It got me thinking. Is there a US version of this? Australian? German.. Spanish....South Korean? I'm curious to find out if they have simply made almost the exact same commercial in hundreds of different countries.

I can't find either version on youtube, but basically there is a mobile 'living room' with cosy sofas and whatnot, in the middle of a city park and members of the public sit down with a kindle and remark on how comfortable it feels in their hands, and how even though it is so sunny (how did they find a sunny day in England?), they can still see the screen perfectly. This all interlaced with comments about how much they enjoy a good book... Maybe it's advertising a specific type of kindle and that's why I can't find it. I have technology deafness, so wouldn't have picked up on that while watching the English, never mind the Japanese version.

I can't really remember any specific commercials, but this youtube channel is great for viewing the most recent commercials from Japan for any one week.

I'm a little surprised that no one has posted this one yet!

My favorite Japanese commercial is this one, I think it's really clever, it's an advertisement for a stadium:
