Japanese commercial for hosiery brand Manzoku with a “flying legs” concept. The first video is a standard TV spot while the second a longer one minute version.
Manzoku (満足) is a sub-brand by Japanese legwear manufacturer Fukuske Corporation which also produce other brands like f*ing, S-leg and femozione etc.
Japanese commercial movie for Casio EX-FR10, a digital camera with detachable lens.
The lens can be separated from the main controller and attached to various spots with the help of extra accessories. The video shows the benefits of the system.
GoPro is the leader when it comes to wearable cameras and I think they can do the same thing with remote controls (or probably via phone apps). The FR10 still looks interesting though.
Retail price is around US$450. I’m shopping for a new compact camera, this looks like an option.
I’m not confident with the brand’s image quality though. My first digital cam was a Casio and I was not that impressed. But that was years ago, will have to check and see how things have changed.
Behind-the-scene video for 2014 collection of Japanese fashion brand BONCIERGE, featuring model Miki Arimura in the photo shoots. Cute background music =)
Miki Arimura started acting and modelling in 2002 but focused on the later after a few years. She’s an exclusive model with AneCan Magazine. She has also featured in various commercials and a regular guest on TV shows.
Not to be confused with a namesake Japanese pianist active in Singapore.
BONCIERGE is a sub-brand of clothing company Bonmax founded in 1906 (and incorporated in 1948). Japan has the most number of companies older than 100 years in the world, more than 21,000 as of 2009.
Bonmax specialised in corporate uniforms, office suits and formal wear. They also produced casual clothing and fashion accessories.
Promotional photos and making video for the latest Vanquish Venus [Jp] project, featuring Canadian-Japanese model Maggy. Vanquish Venus is a short term collaboration between Japanese fashion brand VANQUISH with female celebs modelling in men’s clothing, the brand’s core business.
Japanese commercial for Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (SMBC) which shows their appreciation for women in the workforce.
The word “fight” is often used as word of encouragement in Asia, a short form for “keep on fighting”. Music by pop rock band Southern All Stars.
