Softbank Commercials

From my hours of watching TV over dinner with my host family, it seems to me that on average Japanese commercials are really good. Most of them feature little kids running around and singing endearingly slightly out of tune jingles related to what they're advertising, whether it be cars or prepackaged food or whatever. One of the best lines of commercials, however, comes from Softbank, which is a cell phone company. It so happens that I got my cell phone from Softbank, and their shops are pretty much everywhere. Their commercials always feature a big white talking dog, which I believe is an Akita, and his "children," who both happen to be adult humans.


The Softbank dog.
In case you are interested, here are some of the better Softbank commercials that I have found on Youtube. (They all have English subtitles by the way.)

iPhone Games
Otosan ("father," the dog) gets an iPhone.

Rejected
The son gets rejected via cell phone plans. (This one might be the best.)

Diet
Otosan has been putting on weight.

Night Sky
Otosan shows his sensitive side with his iPhone.
