| Don't agree with you about Ewan Wombler. That campaign came on the heels of Trainspotting and Shallow Grave. |
Trainspotting & Shallow Grave popular in Japan!!! Are you sure?
Ewan was Obi-Wan Kenobi whilst he was advertising Aeon and still no one recognised him. Not my opinion just what Aeon trainers told us, Aeon sales were down during his reign and zoomed up when Kenji & Miki took over. |

| Actually Wombler I'm with you on the Aeon Ewan thing, my other half was refuting that. Because he was so big in the States and in England at that time they reckoned it would work here but the kids here never really clicked with all the junkie business, did they? I agree, none of my students ever knew who mate was. |

"Trainspotting" seems to have a cult following in Japan. I was amazed at how many of my students (business, school, night school etc) knew of it. I mentioned 'Scotland' when I did my self-intro and asked them what they knew about it; Trainspotting always came up (along with 'men in skirts' (kilts), whisky (real, not bourbon) and bagpipes). I am proud to come fom a country associated with heroin abuse................  |
