Hi guys, tired from spending a day at the Otaku Taiki 2009 at Megamall. Small venue + huge crowds = standing room only! I’ll be posting my OtaGonzo report on it sometime tomorrow! For now, enjoy another silly commercial from Japan!

Another weird Japanese commercial, this one featuring Suntory Mugi Cha. This focuses on one of those rare moments that high blood pressure just may save your life and the lives of other people. Er, right.

Here’s another bizarre Japanese commercial, this time for Calbee Consommé-flavored potato chips.

Hi guys, just resting at home for now. Fortunately my sister sent me a bunch of weird Japanese commercials to cheer me up. Thanks Cha!

This particular commercial seems to be about a real estate company. I think. Mostly I share Anabukin-chan’s shock and awe at the end when I watch this one. It reminds me that Japan is such an awesomely weird place. WOW!
