Either this whimsical Pocari Sweat CM will make you thirsty or the song performed by mega duo Dreams Come True will get stuck in your head. Or both =)

To: Mom – from: Ryo, Nana, Nanami, Nozomi, & Masami

Mother’s Day has come and gone but any day is a good day to show your mom you love her by buying her some chocolate. Ishikawa Ryo (石川遼), Eikura Nana (榮倉奈々), Sakuraba Nanami (桜庭ななみ), Sasaki Nozomi (佐々木希), and Nagasawa Masami (長澤まさみ) — in that order — thank their mothers in this super-sweet, superstar-studded CM for Ghana chocolate. I’d especially like to thanks Eikura Nana’s mom as well =P

A day at the races

This commercial for JRA horse racing stars AKB48 girls Shinoda Mariko (篠田麻里子), Kojima Haruna (小嶋陽菜), and Oshima Yuko (大島優子) with some boys going to the race track.

…because anything featuring Shinoda Mariko (the one in red) is worth posting! =)

Watering KissMint & Shiina Ringo

Posted: March 15th, 2010 | Style: cool | Stars & Brands: ,

Shiina Ringo (椎名林檎) can make anything sexy and chewing gum and playing with water is no exception. This CM for Watering KissMint — backed up by music from Shiina’s band, Tokyo Jihen (東京事変) — proves that.

Bonus gum chewing + moonwalk action clip:

AND I LOVE CAR

Posted: March 7th, 2010 | Style: cool | Stars & Brands: , ,

Nothing particularly incredible about this Sony Sonpo (ソニー損保, Sony Insurance) CM, I just really like how Ikeda Kaori (池田香織) rocks out in her car. The awesome song in the commercial is “AND I LOVE CAR” by the legendary Okuda Tamio (奥田民生). Japanese lyrics here!

Now Ichiro can work from home!

Posted: March 1st, 2010 | Style: cool | Stars & Brands: ,

NTT ECO makes it easy for Ichiro (イチロー) to work from home. Now he can help the environment by emitting less CO2 since he doesn’t have to commute to work. He’s totally not a baseball player, right? =P

This 30-second clip includes both versions of the commercial. The highlights? That kiddy car-slash-chair he rides, that gesture he makes at the door, and his smirk while in front of the computer. Surely there’s more.
