In time before Super Bowl XLV, General Motors' Chevrolet brand unveiled two commercials; one is that you can't mess with an Autobot Bumblebee, and the second that what if a female driver is in the Camaro.
See what I mean?
The ad from the top resembles more like a dealer ad, when a mascot smack the Camaro with a fake hammer, the Camaro turned into a Bumblebee (as we know it) and caused trouble. Never mess with Bumblebee, I mean, a Chevy!
The second has some commentary, it imagines what will the Camaro commercial will look like; driving on the desert, a woman drives a Camaro, on the city streets, evading the hays, car chases, and ended parking on the school. Now that's imagination!
I watched the Thursday episode of Shoutout Level Up, it was disappointing to me to see teens who were part of the Shoutout family let go by the staff because of their hectic schedules. Those who left Shoutout are:
Piero Vergara- part of the new fantaserye Mutya
Yen Santos- part of the new fantaserye Mutya
Joe - part of the new fantaserye Mutya
Jenny Kim - to continue her studies
Ryan Bang - he's a part of Banana Split and Matanglawin, currently as judge in Showtime, and host of Studio 23's 3OW POHWZ
Julia Montes - She's busy being the new Clara in the high-ranking drama, Mara Clara
John Manalo - He's a part of Mara Clara
Kathryn Bernardo - She's busy being the new Mara from Mara Clara
The title says it all, Ultimate Wheels is the title of the song used on the new Suzuki Solio starring none other than famous J-Pop Boy Group, KAT-TUN! Not only KAT-TUN fans are going to go gaga over KAT-TUN's latest single, this is targeted by car enthusiasts everywhere because this is the Suzuki new Solio's theme song!
The ULTIMATE WHEELS maxi single CD packs not just the ULTIMATE WHEELS song, which is the Suzuki new Solio's theme song, but also includes three songs saved for KAT-TUN fun such as TWO, MAKE-OR-BREAK, and 夜明けまで. If you're not into these three, I suggest the song ULTIMATE WHEELS is the best pick. My recommendation is to play this new KAT-TUN song on the new Suzuki Solio and let KAT-TUN sing your way while driving the new Suzuki Solio all over Japan! This is going to be one heck of a good time road trip with you, KAT-TUN, and the new Suzuki Solio! Enjoy!
Oh yes! Another Alpha Beth in the February 3 episode of Banana Split Daily Servings! When a guy wakes up in the morning and all of a sudden, he saw a pimple on his face! Ahh! Don't fret! Alpha Beth's here! The word is "PIMPLE" and replace P with D and presto! It's "DIMPLE"! His pimple's gone and now it's just a dimple!
Oh wait! The Banana Split magician, Magic Singh, is here again and he's showing the Coin Magic to the woman. Not only the coin disappeared but also the woman's hand! MAGIC!
Of all the automobile manufacturers created web specials that made car enthusiasts interested for more such as BMW Korea's BMW Meets Truth starring Rain, Lexus CT 200h's Dark Ride, Toyota Mark X Samurai Code drama starring Koichi Sato, True Power Should Be Shared starring the Aston Martin Rapide, Audi A1's The Next Big Thing starring Justin Timberlake, Kia Motors' The Lotze Identity starring Kim Joo-Hyuk, Nissan Note's Teinenpi Shoujo Heidi, and other web specials made possible by automobile manufacturers, it seems that Fuji Heavy Industries joined the bandwagon for a very special web special to keep fans of the Subaru brand alive and kicking by offering a short anime film titled Houkago no Pleiades (日本名：放課後のプレアデス)
Subaru and GAINAX presents Houkago no Pleiades
Created in collaboration between Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. (behind the Subaru brand), and GAINAX, this special web movie made its debut in February 1 ,2011 and wow! This is the first time a famous Japanese carmaker team up with a famous Japanese anime studio for a surprise treat for Scooby fans all over Japan. I guess its true that Love is what makes a Subaru, a Subaru, especially this web special!
When I first peeked on this web special, it was like OH MY! This web special is a sweet as a full tank of 100-octane gasoline! As a web special created in partnership between Fuji Heavy Industries and GAINAX, there are some Subaru-related references on this 4-part short anime film;
1) The main character, Subaru (すばる) is from her namesake, the brand itself.
2) The opening of a door using a key is somewhat like you're turning the ignition key on
3) Hear the engine start-up on the magic staff? That's the sound of the boxer engine, the pinnacle of Subaru engineering.
4) The shafts Subaru, Aoi, Itsuki, Hikaru, and Nanako used were derived from Subaru models. Look closely at their shafts on this short film and it has something similar from the Subaru trademark grille.
Subaru's shaft was derived from the Fifth-generation Subaru Legacy
2010 Subaru Legacy Touring Wagon
Itsuki's shaft was based on the Forester
2011 Subaru Forester
Aoi's shaft was based on the third-generation Subaru Impreza
Nanako's shaft was based on Subaru's Touring 7-seater, the Exiga
2009 Subaru Exiga
Hikaru's shaft was based on Subaru's latest compact, the Trezia
2011 Subaru Trezia
5) The areas marked on the bus stop were the names of areas Subaru manufacturing plants located, most notably, Ota, Gunma.
My impressions about this Subaru x GAINAX collaboration short film is tremendously superb. Two worlds combined to create something sweeter than a full tank of 100-octane petrol! Most Scooby fans wowed upon peeking at the web special, Houkago no Pleiades. This short anime film reprises the new Subaru slogan "Confidence in Motion" to a completely new level. I guess Houkago no Pleiades is the automotive web special that ends all automotive web specials since 2009's Nissan Note Teinenpi Shoujo Heidi and 2010's Toyota Mark X Samurai Code drama!
Thank you Fuji Heavy Industries and GAINAX for making this short anime film possible! I guess the words "Love is what makes a Subaru, a Subaru" came to reality! (Applause)
Aston Martin's first premium sedan, the Rapide, is quite possibly the best premium saloon built for those who are sensing lap of luxury. Because of the success, the Rapide starred on the special three-part web movie titled "True Power Should Be Shared" made possible by Aston Martin. Trust me, I saw it. It was quite a thriller for this Aston Martin Rapide web movie.
Best web special for the Aston Martin premium saloon, the Rapide. A soon-to-be-Bond-car without the famous James Bond himself performed how thrilling and fun-to-drive it is before you whisk your way back at the beginning! How's that? Impressed?
Another Damoobs ni Kuya Jobert Austria on the February 2 episode on Banana Split; there was some guy (Bentong) is having a hard time doing the Wolf Whistle to the incoming woman. Then Kuya Jobert approaches and tells him that he's good at whistling. First of all, he's doing some funny parts on his face. LOL
Then, Kuya Jobert ate some polvoron, and doing some funny faces again but instead of whistling, he spitted the chewed polvoron on the guy's face! HAH HAH!
In the end, Kuua Jobert gave him an ordinary whistle and the guy performed Wolf Whistle on the girl and the girl smack the heck out of that guy! Ouch!
Another Alpha Beth episode on the February 1 episode of Banana Split Daily Servings! When the couple forgot the candle during the brownout, this is the job for Alpha Beth, the superhero who has a letter to solve problems! The word is "HANDLE", then replace the letter H with the letter C and ta-da! It's a "CANDLE"!
Also, Kuya Art, the Art Throb shows us how to make the Statue of Liberty with the use of clay and water. Heh, guess the Art Throb's messing the clay until it becomes the Statue of Liberty!
I almost forgot! Up to the day to celebrate Chinese New Year 2011, the Nuno sa Feng Shui gave us tips from Monday to Friday on the Banana Split spoof of TV Patrol, called Ang TV (doo wa diddy di di dum di di doo) Patrol!
In the Isports Lang segment in the January 31 episode of Banana Split Daily Servings, an athlete (John Prats) approaches to Kuya Jobert, telling him that Kuya Jobert's playing soccer. Kuya Jobert's using the AZKALS reference, showing to this athlete that he's good at soccer. Oh, well, that's Kuya Jobert's trademark...
Kuya Jobert shows a cleverly funny way to kick the soccer ball. After kicking the ball with his style, Kuya Jobert's buttocks was hit. OUCH! Later, the athlete is going to kick the ball with that style Kuya Jobert used. In the end, Kuya Jobert got hit by a soccer ball! ROFL
Is it official? Is it official that the darker side of green, the Lexus CT 200h, is coming to the Philippines? According to Toyota Motor Philippines and Lexus Manila, its coming this late February!
That was quick. When the CT 200h debuted on January 12, 2011, I didn't know that LExus Manila finally got the memo and ready to bring the Lexus CT 200h to the Philippines just before the Philippine summer 2011! This is the cheapest Lexus we can try and yes, we are ready to dance with this hybrid!
Back in 2004, ABS-CBN created a new genre in the history of Philippine television called "Fantaserye" that fills fantasy on the drama. Their first Fantaserye was Marina, which stars Claudine Baretto as Marina, a young girl who was cursed as a mermaid. Everyone knows this famous fantaserye, right?
The newest discovery of ABS-CBN, Mutya Orquia, will play as the titular character Mutya, a little girl who was born with a strange condition that looks like a mermaid. Mutya is the daughter of Cordella (played by Precious Lara Quigaman) who falls in love with a merman named Irvin (Alfred Vargas).
Separated by fear, and now in the hands of Mutya's new adoptive parents, will the young girl tries to fit in her normal life if she looks like a mermaid?
When I first peeked at the teaser, I thought that Mutya looks a lot like Xyriel Anne Manabay, but no. She's not Xyriel! She's Mutya! Kudos to ABS-CBN for their newest discovery but is Mutya the next-generation Marina?
Based on the work from the late Pablo S. Gomez (who is also behind the currently airing comedy-drama, Juanita Banana), directed by Erick Salud and Jojo Saguin, and starring Precious Lara Quigaman, Alfred Vargas, Malou Crisologo, Sandy Andolong, Tess Antonio, Gary Lim, Pen Medina, Ogie Diaz, Nina Jose, Ahron Villena, Jairus Aquino, and introducing Mutya Orquia as Mutya herself!
Scheduled to be on air this January 31 after Noah!
