The soft drink market in Japan is huge, and so is the money invested in soft drink commercials. Here are my favorite soft drinks and their respective commercials.<\/p>\n

Calpis (\u30ab\u30eb\u30d4<\/strong>\u30b9<\/strong>) is a milky white soft drink. I love this commercial because it\u2019s funny. The girl is acting out a dialogue where she pretends she is talking to the person she likes. Watch what happens:<\/p>\n

Oronamin \u00a0C Drink (\u30aa\u30ed\u30ca\u30df\u30f3<\/strong>C<\/strong>\u30c9\u30ea\u30f3<\/strong>\u30af<\/strong>) is a carbonated health drink. The Oronamin C Drink commercials often feature Japanese star Aya Ueto (\u4e0a\u6238<\/strong> <\/strong>\u5f69<\/strong>) like in this funny commercial :<\/p>\n

Pocari Sweat (\u30dd\u30ab\u30ea\u30b9\u30a8\u30c3<\/strong>\u30c8<\/strong>) is a sports drink. The commercials for Pocari Sweat often feature someone who engages in strenuous physical activity and drinks Pocari Sweat to cool off :<\/p>\n

I hope you\u2019ve enjoyed watching these commercials. You know, watching Japanese commercials can help you understand the nuances of a culture, like what\u2019s considered funny, or what\u2019s considered politically correct. In some cases, you don\u2019t have to know a lot of Japanese to know what\u2019s going on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
