Japanese Commercials - Bananas and Men's Hair

Bananas

I was hungry on the way to work, so I grabbed a banana and grapefruit juice at the corner convenience store near my workplace. Which brings us to our first Japanese commercial which is about ... you guessed right! Bananas. The young woman is trying to have a serious talk with her boyfriend about how they have been together for three years, and as she is going to her hometown to visit her parents...



About Hair

I recently got my semi-long hair cut to a short bob which I like very much. This hairstyle is much easier to deal with in the humid weather. Hair products are really easy to find in abundance in Japan for women and men. He is singing, "Life comes in many forms and so do Men."

That banana one is funny...the other one is great too! :o) Commercials are like any other serious art form in some countries, and I like that. Where I come from, the US originally, the commercials seem so dull--LOL! Here is Norway, where I'm living now, the commercials on TV are fantastic--very fun, often very quirky--love that! Happy weekend, Juana :o)

Married Shadows

My husband and I haven't had a T.V. for the last 15 years, maybe more, so we often go to see movies at the Cinema. The last couple of ones that I've enjoyed have been Transformers II and Terminator IV. Two more of my favorites are Slumdog Millionare and Milk. These latter two were well done movies from all angles (acting, script, cinematography). This is us after an afternoon at the movies and eating out. We had just come from Starbucks and were heading to the train station. For more shadow shots and to learn how to join this Meme, please visit Hey Harriet's blog .
