Another really good TV commercial by NCL. It's a shame it won't be aired out of Japan.

NOA and NOE should really learn from NCL.

If you ask me, NOA and NOE should just use NCL's commercials- I think it'd work great. They'd certainly stand out.

Before anyoone complains, because of the relative pathing this link doesn't work from the forums, remove the "forum" part from the link.

I fixed the link. I'll try to set up the links so that doesn't happen anymore, or else mirror the downloader page in the forums directory.

Does anyone ever wonder if people in Japan are downloading American commercials and going, "Wow"?

"Does anyone ever wonder if people in Japan are downloading American commercials and going, 'Wow'?"

I've wondered that about a lot of game related stuff. Does anyone in Japan mod their Cube to import American games? I've seen threads in forums about weird games and the top choices are always Japanese titles. Are their Japanese gamers posting on forums about how Doom is so weird? "You shoot demons with a GUN!? Where do those wacky Americans come up with these abstract ideas?"

Heh. Maybe in Japan they think the Super Mario Sunshine commercial is amazing and the fans b!tch on forums about how much better the game would have sold in Japan if they used the American commericial.

Awwww...I thought that was cute! ^_^

I'm no expert on Japanese culture, but I think they probably think the same things we do about stuff like this commercial...that it's funny and weird. They're just a little more accepting of funny and weird things being on TV and in stores.

It's just like how most Japanese people think tentacle hentai is weird and gross, just like most people everywhere else see it. The only difference is that the Japanese culture is tolerant of the people who create such things, and you're more likely to see niche-style items hit the mainstream or at least get a lot of press.
