I remember a few years ago when I was living in Japan these advertising trucks were just starting to become popular. A friend of mine still living in Tokyo sent me these photos, apparently now days they are everywhere! They have a pretty incredible market reach, with an ad agency specialising in the trucks giving the following statistics on their website (japanese only). The ads will be seen by 400 people per kilometer, 48,000 people per day, and 1,056,000 people per month.
All this comes at a cost, however with a small 1-ton truck costing around a million yen ($10,000) per week and a 40-ton truck costing more than 2.5million yen for a week.
I find the advertisements on them interesting as well.
This one is advertising a new game on the Sony PSP, Monster Hunter 3
This is an advertisement for BS Satellite TV company.
This one is a singing duo called Nezumi&.Seiko
This one is for an online dating company called Ikukuru.
This one is my favorite! The ad says "A must see for women who are worried about finding a job" however when you go to the website, they are recruiting sex workers.
I lived in Japan for 4 years when I was growing up and I loved it. I plan to get back to Japan when I finish university, hopefully I can get a job there and live there again for a while. From my adventures through the interwebz I have found that there are many wapanese lurking around the place, so I figured perhaps this is a niche offering potential success for my new blog.
Rest assured that I myself am not a weeaboo, can't stand those turnips, I simply lived in Japan for some of my formative years, and find a lot of things that come out of Japan to be quite funny.
So, tl;dr this blog will be various japan-related things, many of which you may find humorous.
Also, I'm very big on the whole blogger networking so if you follow I will definitely check out your blog and follow back ASAP!
So to get the ball rolling, here are two of the many reasons I love japan lol:
The vehicles
And the J-Pop!
Anyway be sure to comment and follow if you like it!
