Ugh. So I was listening to this while going through some servicer reports this morning, and ended up humming the riff all day at the office. I’m sure I aggravated more than a few co-workers.

And it’s still stuck in my head! Noooo!

Sad that the video has to be so blatantly commercial when the track itself is actually pretty good.

Wow.

A couple of other things jumped out at me. The kimono set-up reminds me of Sheena Easton’s Suntory commercials (yeah, I’m that old). I could have sworn I heard a reference to “Pocari” in the Bacardi section, which could set up some really odd drink mixes.

And Japanese trash-talk will never rise to the level of American, will it?

“Of course, it’s kind of missing the point to expect US-style product sensibilities from 36-year-old Zeebra. The single father of two is a salaried member of SOLOMON I＆I PRODUCTION and as a result could never dream of US-style sky-high record deals, and I’m willing to bet 120 yen (the going rate for a candy bar in Tokyo) that he doesn’t see much in the way of extra cash from the Snickers deal.”

I think you missed reading Zeebra’s grand pa’s wikipedia entry.

He owned Empire State Building briefly in the 90’s.
