Driving Music (What is the name of the song on car commercial?) Volume 18

This is like a mob threat. Those car enthusiasts really know how to launch their own well-orchestrated attack when it comes to new car commercials aired, that is, asking what was the music played on the car commercial. An unknown assailant, for example, cyber-attacked my website with the words "song new mercedes b class w246". Agh, every time when a new car has its own TV commercial, you guys really sure know how to launch your own "well-orchestrated" attack, that is, asking for the song played on the TV commercial! Can't you guys have enough for one day? Just one day, okay?

For this, I have my own "well-orchestrated attack for you, that is, another set of five Driving Musics (Car Commercial Songs) that would be rushed on your car audio.

5) THIS IS IT! YOU'RE THE ONE! I KNEW IT! by Dreams Come True - as heard from the 2004 Honda Odyssey Japanese TV Commercial.

4) Tonight's The Night by Rod Stewart - as heard from the 1995 Subaru Legacy Japanese TV Commercial.

3) You're Beautiful by James Blunt - as heard from the 2006 GM Daewoo Tosca Korean TV Commercial. Also heard from the 2006 Toyota Vitz Japanese Commercial starring Rie Miyazawa.

2) Sunglasses At Night by Corey Hart - this is from an old Kia Sephia Korean TV Commercial.

1) I'm Gonna Be Around by Michael Learns To Rock - song heard from the 1997 Kia Sephia II Korean TV Commercial.

My well-orchestrated attack stops here for now. If you car enthusiasts ever try to attack me with your words related to "song" and "car commercial", you better watch out.

"See it Through" the latest Chrysler 300

This latest Chrysler 300 commercial, to be aired on Thanksgiving Day during the Lions-Packers football game, reads through a poem titled "See it Through" written by Edgar A. Guest (1881-1959), poet laureate of Michigan. Pity though that this Chrysler 300 featured in this ad was just a prototype model that the disclaimer said that those optional features will be available this Spring 2012. What I found out that this model featured was the "300C Luxury Series", a special edition model available this Spring 2012.

Asking what's the song played? That's Mannish Boy by Muddy Waters. That's the tune that was familiar at some Family Guy cutaway gag...

Daio Paper Scandal

Turns out that Olympus isn't the only company in Japan that faces an outrageous scandal the the result of firing Olympus CEO because of the financial loss evidences. Now, an unfamiliar company called Daio Paper (大王製紙株式会社) got the rage when former Daio Paper chairman, Mototaka Ikawa, has arrested in funds probe.

Report from NHK WORLD:

"Tokyo prosecutors have arrested the former chairman of Daio Paper Corporation in connection with his massive personal loans from group firms.

The prosecutors took Mototaka Ikawa into custody on Tuesday and are searching his home in Tokyo.

The 47-year-old former chairman faces a charge of aggravated breach of trust. He is accused of causing tens of millions of dollars in damage to Daio Paper by borrowing money from 7 group companies.

Sources say Ikawa personally called the companies' executives and instructed them to remit money to his account by the following day. He then allegedly spent almost all the money on gambling at casinos abroad.

Ikawa is a grandson of the founder of Daio, one of Japan's major papermakers. He has reportedly admitted during voluntary questioning that the loans were for personal use, and says that he intends to repay the money by selling stocks and other means."
