Gatchaman Movie Acuo Tie-In

Hi all!

You might recall that I said earlier that, on Monday, a commercial for the Acuo breath mint that has a tie-in with the Gatchaman movie was going to premiere on Japanese TV. Well, sure enough, the commercials (Yes, commercials, plural, not commercial, singular) began appearing on Japanese TV.

Fortunately for us, Lotte, the manufacturer of Acuo, has put all five commercials up on their website! They can be found here:

http://www.lotte.co.jp/products/brand/acuo/gatchaman/index.html

The five commercial spots are a crossover between the movie and Good Morning Gatchaman, with three of them taking the form of a quiz show where the Good Morning Ninja Team is pitted against Katse in questions relating to the Gatchaman movie, with Tori Matsuzaka, the actor who plays Ken in the movie, giving the correct answers. The other two spots have Katse with his prisoner, who is Tori Matsuzaka dressed in his I.S.O. uniform.

The commercials are definitely silly. And you've got to remember that they're advertising a breath mint, or they'll seem really, really strange. Not that they aren't strange enough already...

Thanks for the link! Any strangeness aside, I'm just tickled to see the gang in action!

That is funny, even realizing its for breath mints.

I have a strange urge to put a ball in his mouth and try and win a prise (like one of those clown games you see at fairs)

"Ken felt a little awkward as he went to kiss Jun, what had Joe told him again about what he was suppose to do with his mouth, and um the dreamy eye look, damn he should have practiced more in the mirror"

So, in the ones where Katse has Ken tied up, is he trying to get close to smell Ken's breath? ROFL 2

EEEWWWWW!

That reminds me - the lipstick on Katse one of the times looked like it was painted on by a 4 year old.
