Commerical time: the Ken and Mary you never saw

May 20, 2010 / banpei / 0 Comments

I’m glad Hide7031 did not post up the too well known Ken&Mary Skyline commercials. These eight relatively unknown commercials were actually a quite a surprise for me:

I did say I liked the GC10 commercials better than the Ken&Mary ones, but I do have to admit I think the fourth Ken&Mary (GT) commercial is the best so far: showing the GT on a trailer (racing purpose?), Skyline waving goodbye with its rear wiper and then showing Ken and Mary with a bunch of binoculars as if they are watching a race…

Stay tuned for more commercials! :)

Commerical time: the new Nissan Skyline GC10

May 18, 2010 / banpei / 2 Comments

Remember I posted about the DVD with all the JDM Skyline commercials on it? Well, someone already posted up the Skyline GC10 part on Youtube… After yesterdays shoebox gem GC10 advertisement I thought it would be very nice to post it up immediately today!

La la la la laaaa!
Damn, commercials were cheesy back in the late 60s! Lucky for us the Skyline itself wasn’t that cheesy! ;)

Personally I like these GC10 commercials better than the famous GC110 Ken&Mary commercials (note that a young Ken and Mary already star in some of these commercials!). Perhaps it has to do with the sporty image of the GC10 model range?

The same user uploaded a few other Skyline commercials as well, so I will post them spread over the upcoming week!

Carina Sightings: how the Carina A40 was designed

May 12, 2010 / banpei / 0 Comments

This 1977 Toyota Carina commercial shows how the A40 Carina was designed: with tron-like neon computer vectors the laser sharp lines of the A40 were cut out and moulded into the famous (pre-facelift) shape!

Apparently Toyota did not need Sonny Chiba to convince us the sharp lines were the way to go in 1977! Did they they change their mind and rehired him in 1979?

Hilarious: Mori hair girls

Another proof that Japanese girls love weird fashion: the mori hari. This has been fashion for a while now and the media is picking it up as well, like this damn funny advertisement:

If you want to see how big this craze is, watch this video:

WTF?! How can you have 8cm of hair?

Hilarious: 80s Nisseki advertisements

May 7, 2010 / banpei / 0 Comments

During the late 80s Nisseki created some commercials which appear to be parodies on existing commercials. Take for instance this one featuring an Alfa Romeo Junior:

It sure does remind me a lot of the Ken&Mary Skyline commercials of the 70s.

And what about this one with a bunch of VW Golfs:

Sure does remind me of the 80s Ajax commercials.

You can find more of them here

Commercial time: all JDM Skyline commercials on DVD!

April 27, 2010 / banpei / 0 Comments

I saw this amazing video containing all Japanese Nissan Skyline commercials being announced a few weeks back on a Minkara blog:

Nissan Skyline Japanese commercials collection
This DVD covers almost all models: from the second generation (S50), third generation (C10 aka hakosuka), fourth (C110 aka Kenmeri) and up to the tenth generation (R34)!

I was able to find the DVD on Amazon Japan (?????? CM?????? [DVD]), but I haven’t seen it for sale elsewhere… Now if only the shipping costs from Japan weren’t that steep… :(
