Unusual Marketing Strategies: The Japanese Edition

Jay just posted about the Japanese boy band Green Leaves and before that and since, we have been looking steadfastly for more and more Japanese entertainment. I recently stumbled across a Japanese commercial and Jay found another so I'm showcasing them here....



I've seen this commercial probably ten times now and I still have no clue what on earth he is advertising. Some people say it's an energy drink, others say beer, hot sauce, and one even said vinegar. Quite frankly, that information is irrelevant when you have something of this genius. Whatever it is, I would buy it instantly if I saw it. And once again, I simply can't fathom how he's gone from this to being the Governor of California. He should've used this as his campaign video, such a wasted opportunity...
Why is he so troubled he must leave?
How can he fly?
Why's everyone getting all happy at the end?



Nothing on earth can prepare you for that. I don't know if this is already going on in Japan or if it's hinting at a future civilization and either way, I'm not sure how I feel about it. That music in the background is so obnoxious and just plain odd too. I don't drink too much milk, but I may have to start soon. I just want to know what sookey means now...

Green Leaves: Undeniably the Best Japanese Boy Band in Existance

Thats right, ladies and gentlemen. I have recently discovered the single most amazing boy band in existance, GREEN LEAVES, of Japan. If you want to see what I mean, just watch this video, for the song entitled 'Yatta'. I apologize for the bad quality, but you will be able to see enough:




Like what you see? If not, I apologize, but these are some amazing performers. Never in my entire life could I have thought to pull something like this off, and if I had, I never would have thought that screaming girls would come in droves to see the live show. My hat goes off to you, Green Leaves!

And thank YOU Micah, for further opening the door for me to YouTube, and showing me the joy that it beholds. This would not have been possible without you.
