I can't stop watching this. Extremely offbeat, yet hypnotic and mesmerizing at the same time. If it is indeed an ad, I find it to be very effective, as soy sauce now seems so much more appealing than the "foreign sauces" like ketchup Smile

That was great. Really brightened my day, and I for one will be throwing away my ketchup.

That is really funny.
I'm not sure why the swears were in there. Shocked It doesn't seem to fit with the cartoon, otherwise I would have shown it to some kids.

Holy shit! Shocked

A bit of xenophobia, Japanlish, sex, suicide, violence: the whole nine yards.

Looks like the ad designer tried the LSD soy on his eggs that morning.

Those wacky Japanese....

Hey, where IS the planet of Soy?

How a banana came to be paired up with a fried shrimp, I'll never know. Regardless, I'm finding myself laughing like a maniac at these. That Kikkoman jingle, with that awful yet oh so determined vocalist, won't be leaving my head anytime soon Smile
