KISS + Camera + Kids = Awesome and Cute!

I was reading some of the comments made by Tokyo5 on the Konnichiwa blog, and i found out about the TV campaign for the Canon EOS “Kiss” digital camera. I quickly rushed to Youtube and found these cute ads from Japan. Kids in KISS makeup singing about the camera to the tune of  “I Was Made For Loving You”. Awesome!

When they shoot flames and sparks out of their mouths it’s especially cute. Credit for this post goes to Tokyo5 for mentioning this in his comments on the Konnichiwa blog. Here’s a link to his more informative post. KISS ads in Japan Check it out!

Softbank

Softbank is supposedly the most popular cell phone carrier in Japan. Which is apparent by how much they can spend on American celebrities to be in their ads. Cameron Diaz appears in a lot of their print and TV ads as you can see below.

Brad Pitt also does a bunch of ads too They recently added a new service tied to Disney called Disney mobile. Hillary Duff is the spokes women for the service. It’s a family friendly version of the normal Softbank service. People are crazy for Disney stuff over here, so this service should do well.

Softbank also has some really interesting TV ads featuring popular Japanese celebrity Ueto Aya, in which her family includes a father who has been changed into a dog, and a brother who is black. It a continuing series, and they have new ads every couple weeks or so. They are very strange and kinda funny. You can see a couple below. More can be seen here.
