Archives For Commercials

The CM was taped using a high speed camera and only used 2 seconds of it to produce the whole CM. The CM shows Aoi Yu eating the chips with her mouth opened wide and gnawing it in very slow motion.

“I feel a little embarrassed,” said Aoi Yu with a smile. She also said that she loved Calbee’s Pizza flavoured potato chips and has been eating it as a child.

via Japan Now.

Well, that is embarrassing, to be honest. Imagine someone taking a photo of you as you close your eyes to chew on your food — I’ve done that, to my mom buahahahaha — now imagine someone shooting you on high-speed camera for just 2 seconds to probably make a 15sec commercial. Embarrassing! xD

I am considering purchasing the newest release by Monkey Majik for their 10th anniversary. There’s the Japan Normal edition at $32 USD, and the Japanese First Press Edition which comes with a DVD for $43 USD.

Of course, if you don’t know – Monkey Majik has just gotten their Guiness World Record for longest On Air commercial, for the CM they did for this Best of Album… which lasts 30min — the commercial, not the album. But trust me, it’s so worth watching it, when you get the time. They’re pretty awesome, even with their funny Japanese.

Anyway, this Best Of album contains 3 new songs, titled Forever, Fast Forward, and Daijoubu. Forever is such a great song, the video totally plays to the little heart. I think it even works better than Canada’s attempt to help Haiti with Waivin’ Flag (though that was a pretty good song by K’naan, it got overplayed for this and the World Cup), and it totally beats the remake of We Are the World.

So here we go, Goran kudasai! Douzo~

“Left you must keep.”
“WRONG”
“Must left you keep.”
“No”
“You left keep must?”
“You’re going to kill people giving directions like that”
“Must you keep left?!”

hahahaha oh gosh~ Yoda talk gets me everytime.

HP’s got the best Printer CMs, eh? xD

Don’t adjust your screen…
maybe you should get a 3D TV?

Hmm… no, not really.

Well, no wonder I hadn’t heard about Lady Rouge since her appearance in the Lady Dior series’ Lady Noire. It’s because Marion’s been so busy, that they didn’t have the time to make it happen… instead? They made a music video featuring Eyes of Mars by Franz Ferdinand.

*spazz* Marion in a red dress… and Marion in a suit. I’m a little iffy about her singing voice in that song, but the visuals more than make up for any of it. She’s rocking, and looking smoking hot.

It would look so SO good on HD.

But alas… I can’t access the video through the Lady Dior website at the moment.

Anyway~~~ I am posting because Lady Blue has just been released~
and you can view it over at the Lady Dior website.

Directed by David Lynch (Mulholland Dr., Inland Empire).

Look, I like Lynch’s films as much as the next cinephile, and I appreciate his storytelling and the things he does… but seriously? Lady Blue? It looked too much of a student film to be a high fashion piece. I could accept the hand-held camera and the dim moody lights, but the blurry lights (which I usually love) and the whole “this looks all shaky and stuff because it’s not reality” was just too much. I could barely pay any attention to the purse.

Also, you do not get Marion on a Dior piece and make her gorgeousity blurry.

but you know… you can watch for yourself, and have your own opinion.

Welcome to Tokyo

May 15, 2010 — Leave a comment

A while ago the Tokyo Metropolitan Government commissioned Studio 4°C to make an animated short to promote visiting Tokyo. Available in original Japanese audio with English, Korean, Chinese Traditional and Simplified, Italian, French, Spanish and Dutch, the short is titled Honey Tokyo and tells the story of a girl from the future traveling to present-day Japan to bring back Happiness to her time. A boy named Takeru serves as her guide to different places in the city, doing different activities and learning about traditions.

The short had a budget of around half a million $USD, and can I just say~~~
it’s a really great investment? It just fuels my wanting to go to Japan.

Check it out at the Welcome to Tokyo website.

Great way to mix Art and PR. Tagged as commercial and short! xD

awwww.

How can you resist that silly face.

I’m predicting a group-hug on this post.

While presenting their new fancy television screen, Philips is showing 5 very different short films that were made with the same piece of dialog. The visions are varied, but my favorite was The Gift ^^
