Flashback: Hilarious Kia KC2700 Thai ad with a very funny cross-breed animal



Back in 2006, Kia aired a hilarious Thai TV Commercial for the Kia KC2700 Truck and the main character was a cross-breed dog-horse. His name is Jumbo. He's half dachshund dog and half horse. You can't believe how hilarious this ad was. When the farmer scolded the dog-horse, the dog-horse dragged the farmer all the way to the big city to see the Kia KC2700 Jumbo Pickup because of the truck's long back. That's as long as the dog-horse's long back. LOL

In Yokohama, there are "GUNS" and "ROSES"

The date was June 5, 2011. The place is Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan. The weather seems to be partially sunny or cloudy. There are two things happening at Yokohama; there are GUNS and there are ROSES. I was just exaggerating about the whole GUNS AND ROSES thing because there are two things happened on that date in Yokohama. One which is the COOL side and the other one is the CUTE side. First off, let's start with something at the COOL side.

The COOL side was, the Red Bull Formula One car appeared for the first time at Japan for the RED BULL ENERGY FOR JAPAN. Despite the accident on June 4 at the Makuhari Messe, spectators at the Yokohama Motomachi Shopping Street are gathered to see the Red Bull F1 car burning rubber at the streets of Yokohama and a motorcade with Toro Rosso driver Sebastien Buemi are here. In the motorcade, there was two Infinitis and two Renaults. There was a Infiniti M Hybrid (Nissan Fuga Hybrid), second-generation Infiniti FX, Renault Megane RS 250, and for the first time in Japan, the Renault Wind roadster. The Renault Wind roadster was on sale in Europe since Summer last year and it is slated to be on sale in Japan this summer. I'm glad most Japanese Red Bull fans got winged up for the coolest charity event held by Red Bull. Red Bull Energy For Japan provides enjoyment and encouragement for Japan, which was fallen victim from the 3.11 disasters.

The RED BULL ENERGY FOR JAPAN is considered cool and listed on the "GUNS" side. What about something from the "ROSES" side? Oh yes. The Infinite Stratos One Off Festival held at Yokohama BLITZ!

Infinite Stratos One-Off Festival

Whoever had the special ticket found on the Infinite Stratos DVD and Blu-Ray Vol. 1 Limited Edition got invited to the special one-day only event for saying thanks for supporting the anime series based on the best-seller novel, Infinite Stratos (日本名:インフィニットストラトス). Outside the event, a Super Taikyu Honda S2000 with Infinite Stratos livery (about 90% repaired after a crash at a Super Taikyu race) was exhibited. Inside, they were greeted by the stars of Infinite Stratos. Kouki Uchiyama as Ichika Orimura, Yoko Hikasa as Houki Shinonono, Yukana as Cecilia Alcott, Asami Shimoda as Huang Ling Yin or Fan Rinin, Kana Hanazawa as Charlotte "Charles" Dunois, and Marina Inoue as Laura Bodewig are here and special appearance by Minami Kuribayashi who sang the opening theme song STRAIGHT JET. In the concert, it has free talks, music and more.

Which reminds me, Houki's character song from IS DVD/Blu-Ray Vol. 1 Limited Edition, titled 紅く、紅く, and Cecilia's character song from IS DVD/Blu-Ray Vol. 2 Limited Edition, titled Noble Heart, was featured and by interest, Huang Ling Yin's song titled 好吃スマイル (coming at IS DVD/Blu-Ray Vol. 3 Limited Edition), Charlotte's song titled mon cherie, ma cherie, and Laura's song titled An die Freude made a world premiere at the IS One Off Festival. As expected, Huang Ling Yin's song will be on IS DVD/Blu-Ray Vol. 3 Limited Edition but I'm guessing that Charlotte's song would be on Vol. 4 while Laura's song would be at Vol. 5, my guess.

Also announced at the event is the special Infinite Stratos Encore OVA coming to DVD and Blu-Ray this Fall!

The special IS OVA will be released this late November while the IS One Off Festival DVD and Blu-Ray will arrive this late October! Want one?

And that's what the GUNS AND ROSES happened at Yokohama since June 5, 2011. What's the most memorable happening?

Balloons and BOMB-ILYA

A GIANT BALLOON!


When Mang Ben (Jayson Gainza) accidentally knocked off the ice cream the boy (Igi Boy Flores) who is eating at, how can he can repay the minor accident to the boy. Giving him a balloon of course! Mang Ben gets a small white balloon but the boy didn't want so Mang Ben finds something big...much much BIGGER! The boy was happy about the balloon when suddenly, the giant balloon flew alongside with the boy! Uh-oh!

BOMBA + SILYA = BOMBILYA!

With the balloon problem, who needs BOMBILYA?! Just ask Alpha Bert (Jobert) of course! You need a SILYA to do that and also the BOMBA. For the SILYA, remove the S. For the BOMBA, remove the A. Combine BOMB and ILYA and its BOMBILYA! Light bulb at your service!

Is "asking a question what is the title of the song in a car commercial" became a habit among car enthusiasts?

These are all too common for car enthusiasts. When they watched a good car commercial on TV and later when they hear vocals on the car commercial, car enthusiasts start asking this;

"WHAT IS THE TITLE OF THE SONG PLAYED ON A CAR COMMERCIAL?"

This question irritates me. It's so O.A. and degrading. Why would car enthusiasts like us want to find the title of the song played in various car commercials? For what, just so they can find it and steal it to hear it? Face it, most of the car enthusiasts from around the world doing this modus operandi every day.

This goes like this. Suppose that most of them watched the latest Hyundai Tucson iX Korean commercial, then they hear lyrics like something something "lipstick" and spurting out the question "what was the title of the song?" and replied "Lipstick by Jedward". After getting the answer, he/she will Google search for that song and want to find it on file-hosting sites to download that song from the car commercial without spending a little penny. Isn't that hurtful? 

There's also a case like this, when they saw the Japanese Lexus CT 200h commercial and hearing a beautiful song, boom goes the car enthusiast. The car enthusiast is asking what was that song but nothing replied until a few months ago, the song played on the Lexus CT 200h ad was released as a track from a certain album we know it as Boom and the title of the song was "Here I Am" by Maia Hirasawa. Boom goes the dynamite. They want to Google search that and snatch that song without knowing it.

Another situation I am familiar was the song played on the Nissan Juke commercial in Japan. In that ad, the commercial has the funky song sung by Orianthi and (my gosh, here they come) the song was Sunshine of your Love Juke Mix, included in the Japanese version of Orianthi's album, Believe II. Car enthusiasts want to find it as a torrent and get that song only.

What about tie-ups? The Mitsubishi Adventure commercial starring Parokya Ni Edgar which the song played was The Yes Yes Show, Japanese Toyota Isis commercials that has Miki Imai since 2009 and now Hideaki Tokunaga, Honda Zest Spark with Ayumi Hamasaki, Suzuki Solio with KAT-TUN, and some commercials which feature stars who sang the car commercial songs. Yes, car enthusiasts would go gaga for those and they are crude enough to get those car commercial songs without spending a straw penny.

Today's music industry is somewhat bright or so they thought but digital piracy is a common thing. People find ways to get songs without spending a straw penny. Mark my words,
CAR ENTHUSIASTS ARE THE NUMBER ONE CULPRITS BEHIND MUSIC PIRACY! 

When car commercials playing good songs, car enthusiasts unexpectedly Google search and steal it like a thief at the night.

When will this habit put to an end? Can commercial agencies responsible for the car commercials counteract against car enthusiasts by putting original BGM on car commercials? It's not forever and more and more car enthusiasts find ways to get those car commercial songs without wasting their wallets. Shame on them because they want to fuel their passion for cars at the expense of the music industry. They are ruining that more than ruining their spare parts and there is no bolt-on kit for searching it. When the next time you saw a car commercial and when you hear lyrics, you guys better shut up and don't ask an irritating question on what is the song played on the car commercials. Common sense and budgeting is the only way and Google searching, torrent-ing and others won't help you find the answer to your questions. Stay out and relax.

Latest Daihatsu Move Conte commercial does TNP27!

With the introduction of the 2012 Daihatsu Move Conte and Move Conte Custom minor change since June 6, 2011, Daihatsu released a TV commercial for the new Conte and OMG, this one does TNP27 except the new Conte is not TNP27 (because the fuel economy is 25.5km/L) even if it has Eco Idle (same as the fifth-generation Move).




Coincidence?

Daihatsu Move Conte Commercial

Daihatsu Move Commercial

Whoa! These commercials are far too TNP-ism! Seems that the Move Conte minor change wants to follow the same steps as the fifth-generation Move because of its Eco Idle function.

I heard that Toyota is planning their own version of the Move Conte this autumn and with that, this will be a possibility but I hope they won't wind up just like the Subaru Stella because they didn't offer the turbocharged RS variant.

Daihatsu Move Conte and Move Conte Custom - Phase II

2012 Daihatsu Move Conte

2012 Daihatsu Move Conte Custom

Launched in August 25, 2008, the Daihatsu Move Conte is the squarish member of the Daihatsu family designed and engineered for the smartest drivers in Japan. It was separated into two kinds; the standard Move Conte for the simple living drivers, especially women, and the elegant Move Conte Custom for those who want a touch of class. Get ready for the spectacular twist because for the 2012 Model Year, both the Move Conte and the Move Conte Custom are now on its biggest minor change yet.

On the standard Move Conte, you will be greeted by a new front design that is somewhat cute to look at it. On the Move Conte Custom, elegance has progressed because of the new front design inspired from the second-generation Daihatsu Tanto Custom but on the back, the "CUSTOM" paneling was shelved. No matter which of these Conte you'll choose, you will still be greeted with the upgraded KF engine that produces 52PS/7,200rpm of power, 6.1kg-m/4,000rpm of torque, and 23.0km/L of fuel economy.

There is a major major news happened to the 2012 Move Conte X and the 2012 Move Conte Custom G because the Idle Stop and Go feature known as "Eco Idle", first applied on the fifth generation Daihatsu Move and Move Custom since December 2010, is now applied, providing an optimized fuel economy of 25.5km/L. Needless to say, the new-for-2012 Move Conte has the right to be applied TNP25.5 because of its Eco Idle feature that brings the 660cc KF to a complete shutoff when stopped at the red light. This is the second Daihatsu model to be equipped with the idling stop function. Don't forget that when you're out there.

My Comment:


The Move Conte and Move Conte Custom's minor change received the much awaited Eco Idle function that provides the exceptional fuel economy of 25.5km/L. Maybe this new Move Conte tries to follow the footsteps of the TNP27 Move but we'll see if the new 2012 Move Conte will achieve its lifelong dream of becoming the most fuel efficient kei car from Daihatsu. Good luck and enjoy the new idling stop function, Move Conte.

Moshidora (Movie) Original Soundtrack

Moshi Koko Yakyu no Joshi Manager ga Drucker no 'Management' o Yondara
Original Sound Track


Since Moshidora (日本名:もしドラ) shown in theaters in June 4, 2011, and stars AKB48's Atsuko Maeda as Minami Kawashima, the substitute manager of the high school's baseball team who was inspired from the quotes of Peter Drucker's Management book she mistakenly bought at the bookstore, more and more viewers were inspired from the teachings of Peter F. Drucker about "Management" and Minami Kawashima's inspiration brought us the true meaning of "leadership" by a home run. DRUCKER IN THE DUG OUT! A JAPANESE BASEBALL GIRL MEETS PETER DRUCKER!

The original soundtrack based on the inspirational movie that was based on last year's best seller novel, Moshidora, is packed with movie background musics as heard on the Moshidora movie. Original music score by Takayuki Hattori.

The BGMs are good enough to relieve the inspirational movie that inspires them to read Drucker's Management and find out how this book made a home run when it comes to leadership.

Hyundai Veloster in City Hunter



By interest, a Hyundai Veloster in Blue Ocean color appeared on SBS' action drama, City Hunter, which stars Korean heart throb, Lee Min Ho. Also by interest, this was the car Lee Min Ho used on the Veloster Relay Mission Show.

This "Blue Ocean" Veloster was a favorite among Veloster fans because they were huge fans of Lee Min-Ho.

When a Korean car appeared at a Korean drama which stars famous Koreans, fans made a perfect balance. The Veloster driven by Lee Min Ho in City Hunter was just what we Filipinos are saying "We want a Blue Ocean-colored Veloster because of Lee Min Ho!" and guess what, Hancars has one. The most respectful gray market dealer do have a Veloster but does Hancars have the Blue Ocean-colored Veloster like the one Lee Min Ho drove during the Veloster Relay Mission Show and City Hunter Korean Drama?
