Obsessed with this



A crazy Japanese ad for gum that also has a competition where you can make your own version to win a prize (not sure what the prize is though). I have been watching them all morning. The song is so catchy and the dance is so cute. I especially love the chubby girl in the ad who changes from a mannequin into herself, or from a dog into herself in a dog costume. So unusual to see chubby people on TV over there and I kinda feel that they are seeing chubby as being kawaii and not ugly which is kinda sweet.

    AH DANGIT! The computer I'm on right now has no speakers..but I can still tell this is gold. hahaha.

    About the chubby girl..I think she may be a famous comedian in Japan that I have heard of who is famous for imitating Beyonce! I think that same girl was a favorite among Japanese people that they would like to get to know from some survey or something!

    I too have been obsessed with this ad. I can't stop showing it to people. Half dig it, the other half don't get my obsession.
