Reply Subj: For pure randomness, here are some Japanese commercials starring famous actors.

Jack Bauer pressing up against Japanese Schoolgirls (all in the name of counterterrorism, I'm sure.):





Keanu Reeves seduced by a portly housecat:




Sean Connery:





Tommy Lee Jones, acting his heart out:




The Governor of California (Why didn't his political opponents just run clips from these during the election?):




And, of course, Nick Cage, who is crazy enough in American productions:


Not actually translating language because I don't really know it...but I can try to translate visualizations:

Jack Bauer pressing up against Japanese Schoolgirls (all in the name of counterterrorism, I'm sure.):


It's a drink that's supposed to slim you down, aimed at young girls. Normally subways are wall-to-wall overcrowded, so Jack Bauer is happy all the girls are slim and he can get through easily.



Keanu Reeves seduced by a portly housecat:


Just drinking this makes you feel like you're being stalked by a lover. Except it's just a housecat.



Sean Connery:


This is just a loud yogurt commercial intended to be as obnoxious as possible. There's no other purpose or story.



Tommy Lee Jones, acting his heart out:


You work hard, so enjoy a refreshing can of coffee. I guess they must drink them like Americans drink beer. Incidentally, those canned coffee drinks aren't too bad.



The Governor of California (Why didn't his political opponents just run clips from these during the election?):


I believe this is a veggie drink along the lines of Red Bull - gives you lots of extra energy and strength. The commercial seems to be along the same lines as the annoying American "Red Bull Gives You Wings" campaign.



And, of course, Nick Cage, who is crazy enough in American productions:


The audio is the clue. He's playing a live-action "pachinko" (kind of like a cross between gambling and pinball) game in the desert. As to why, that's anyone's guess.
