Commerical time: Yamasaki Tsutomu and the Cresta


It is always easy money for a celebrity to borrow his/her face for a TV commercial while on the other hand the car manufacturer boosts up the car sales on its fanbase. This won’t always work of course, but in the case of actor Yamasaki Tsutomu his role was chosen perfectly!

He is just as classy as his Cresta and his Cresta just as classy as he is!

These two video are actually a promotional video for the Cresta where all features of the Super Lucent Twincam 24 are compared next to each other:

Those 80s airu spoiler option settu and airu purifieru sounds really attractive to me!

And in the third video the engine, suspension and all models are compared to each other:

Even though Super Deluxe may sound attractive, it is actually under the Super Lucent. Also the Super Custom almost sounds like the ideal VIP car, it actually is an old fashioned diesel.

Commerical time: Mazda Luce Cosmo HB

This Luce Cosmo (HB platform) is placed in a Beverly Hills surrounding with an American license plate. I’ve seen this advertising trick more often with these old commercials. Were the Japanese thinking that when a car had an American license plate and a sunny Californian setting it would be with loved by the Americans? Or has Amercian approval? Or had American style?

For sure this Luce Cosmo never made it to the US at all!
And I love the Kossumoo! at the end! :)

Commercial time: I love (Skyline) Japan

I did post all the Skyline Japan commercials a year ago, but that users videos were removed (due to copyright infringement). Lucky enough I found another account who posted up a max-and-match version of it (perhaps official Nissan material?) with the official I love Japan song:

Somehow these videos don’t look that old anymore. May it has to do with the fashion nowadays?

Hilarious: Carina A60 ads


To stay in the Carina Week spirits I’ve made a listing of all Carina A60 ads. Somehow they are just as wacky as all the other hilarious postings!

The puppy saving Twincam Turbo ad with Sonny Chiba:

The Carina Roadrunner II SG (twice) and the Carina Jeune:

The 1981 Carina AA60 (probably a Carina SG):

Another version of the hilarious Carina Twincam Turbo ad with Sonny Chiba, followed by another Carina Roadrunner II ad:

The Carina My Road:

This lady acts as if she is getting married in it! :D
Well I did in mine! ;)

And as last another Jeune ad:

Even though the rear bumper looks retarded it is still high on my want list because of that ancient car backup system that indicates how far away you are from various objects (like annoying little girls).
