[NEO37449]

日本人から見てもあんまり面白いとは思わない

[jodelleferlandfan1]

I LOVE Ayu to death and she's beautiful here but i don't see how this commercial is "funny"...

[nowknow0123]

@jodelleferlandfan1 i think the pun/word play is supposed to be funny, i guess its a japanese thing

[07ayulove]

声が独特でいいね

[ojisandaisuki0566]

Good job ~Ayumi

[akingdom21]

all the hate for her blonde hair is bacause many of u who had a racist comment felt that she's more beautiful in blonde than any of people here bashing the hair color

jealous people always searching for it...

[shinyaeh77]

Did you mean, is he Takeshi Aono-san?

If so, I waiting to hear his voice again. Thank you very much for upload. I'm sorry by poor English.

[NekoArts]

Wait, what just happened?

[john3252osk]

Funny???

[utauvoice300]

Morinaga?

Chocoball!!!

[Mandychan93]

I wanna eat chocolate now....that chocolate T_T

[iHarajukuCindy]

Ayumi, you're too cute! :D

[shizznah]

blonde? it's clearly ginger!

[SteelyGlow]

She sounded like she spent a week in karaoke bar

[ShinobuNyx666]

ummm, that was wierd... liking Ayumi as a blonde though, very cute

[rockleevampire]

Ayumi = KAWAII NESS! ^w^

[015uio2]

ayumi so kawai

[iSmiliexD]

...I don't see why this is called a 'funny' commercial

[sushibabyx]

@iSmiliexD You're not Japanese, apparently.

[docdisco81]

@iSmiliexD For what I understood, The word "Kuri" has two different pronounciations: the first time she asks if the sea urchin is a chestnut shell; the second time she asks for it. The commercial makes a joke on the word.

[Griffins197]

I love her songs!

[ukeasato]

She mistook the sea urchin as a chestnuts?

[spacelion88]

lololololollolollololololololo­l (I have no idea what it means) lollololoolol

[lilylessons]

Want to learn Japanese with me online?

[harunatsujp]

お人形さんみたい。

でらかわ。

[silvapunkstar]

No offense, but I hate how she acts like a little kid in commercials..

[enriquejosegarcia83]

Is she a robot? this commercial is weird..

[ecodna2000]

Ayumi is in sushi restaurant.

Ayumi: ...Kuri?（くり？）= "Is this a chestnut?"

Man: ...Uni (うに) = "It is a sea urchin"

Ayumi: ...Kuri（くり）= "Give me it."

Sounds is fun for Japanese.

[eternalbulls]

i dont understand

[bleachguy64]

i thought the old man was going to rape here

[cristianrockerchick]

why are all Japanese chick have beautiful hair *cires*

[MagicalScythe]

@cristianrockerchick because they spend more time on it than you. o-o

[cristianrockerchick]

@MagicalScythe messed up :/ but true :(

[PinkSugarification]

[iXizXtehXrad]

the abbouncer at the end sounds like lady gaga

[zorrderschnitter94]

She is the Perfect MisaMisa cosplay

[mysyko666]

shes sooo kawaii :D  (cute :P )

[ZeroExperiment]

Man, I thought the whole restaurant was gonna explode the minute she touched that thing... would been cooler, imo

[vangborrie]

Ahaha cute. ^_^

[Matsuyamanokage]

So does that mean that inside the chocolate there's part of a sea urchin?

[13LavenderRose]

she's really pretty

[NYhippie543]

Hamasaki: Kuri?

Sushi chef: ...Uni.

[nikefreak01]

@NYhippie543 HAHAAHAH

[suavelyphe]

how did she pay for those CONTACT LENSES.

[kwaikat]

@suavelyphe With her money ^^'

Lots of japanese girls wear those in japan (they are korean circle lenses)

You can buy the same at online stores like 'pinkyparadise' or 'candylenses'

[kwaikat]

@suavelyphe and they are not that expensive !

[madox]

her normal voice IS DAMN CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Frida708]

Wow...

[JackMoonfang]

That's not Almond. |:

[2jurienne2]

Ayu seemed to confuse the sea urchin w/ a chestnut ! ! uwehehe ! ! ! XDDDDDD

Ayu still KAWAIIIIIIIIIIIII. . . . ^______^

[TheGALLGALL]

that was..... wierd

[demonicDEBACLE]

mmm <3

[iDeaTHeoRyi]

lmao wtf

[plugger543]

a 0:15 i wanted the girl to just tackle the guy and be like abfahsahahash lmfao i would of pissed myslef

[LamepantsAQW]

That voice is so friggin scary.

[CarefreeGirlie]

Ezobafun-uni, or Kaze, or Kanze are best appreciated in Spring.

Most are caught off Hokkaido.

As its name in Japanese says (Sea Chestnut), when fresh it has a firm texture and tastes like chestnuts.

[zeo51]

OMG i didnt know there where chestnuts in seaurchins....thats so weird O.o

[MMAboy286]

@zeo51 yea and its rlly good when boiled in water id say it taste like sugered patatos

[Yunabunaboo23]

Ayumi's so cute!!!!! Gorgeous eyes. Gorgeous blonde hair!! My fav J-Pop singer of all time :)

[Masoukishin]

thats the stupidest look ever...

[Yunabunaboo23]

I like all her hair colors she has tried :)

[Kazoo4U]

kuri = chestnut

uni = sea urchin

[PhantomSanity0]

lmfao my sister tried to dye her hair blond and her hair was blond with fucking brown eye brows.

[ZeBlake]

@PhantomSanity0 ROFL

[BredonUrieLovesJade]

Ahem am blonde with brown eye brows o_o

[udonthavetoknowme]

wow..look at the hand XD and how its in a different position at 0:18

[Danigoddamnit]

Such adorable eyes Ayumi has~

[PeperoBoy]

Her hair is combed as if she were in 50s XD

[panpancakesful]

My God, I miss this ayu so much.

[chopstixed]

cuteee

[JuK7Y]

Ayumi looks awsome as a blonde; I don't understand why people are making such a fuss about it. Plenty of white women dye their hair black, and look great; why can't the opposite have the same result? I live in Canada, and race isn't an issue here, so I have difficulty understanding when people take offense on this topic. :-)

[hellokittyismyfavy]

@JuK7Y I couldn't agree with you more! It's so lame how when white people dye their hair black when they are blonde, it's not a big deal but when asians dye their hair blonde some people even think it makes them look cheap or tacky. My friend (asian) dyed her hair back to black from blonde or else she felt it may affect her when she's trying to get a job - for an interview or whatever. Somehow dying it blonde makes them look rebellious which is totally ridiculous - unfair since white ppl wudn't

[realhiphopfanami]

@JuK7Y you ever heard the term uncle tom?

[gagginus]

@JuK7Y in my opinion several japanese women shouldn't dye their hair blonde since most of them get some kind of orange as a result and i don't like orange hair ;D

[jixxnrayne]

@JuK7Y people really need to get a life she awesome as a blonde ^_^d i agree with you...i wish race wasnt an issue here in america =_=...

[aozora136]

@JuK7Y the difference is white women can have naturally dark hair, japanese never have naturally blonde hair.

[ImUrFanGirl]

@aozora136 who gives a fuck dying hair all sorts of crazy color is a popular style in japan.

It sucks that if a Japanese/Latina/ Black woman dyes their hair and theyre "trying to be white"

whie white woman do the same and nobody minds SMH

[aozora136]

@ImUrFanGirl You must not have read the last part of my comment. White women can have naturally black hair, blond hair, red hair, or brown hair. For japanese, they can only have naturally black hair

[ImUrFanGirl]

@aozora136 yes they do but they still dye their different colors and u must have not read the who gives a fuck part allow me to caps lock so u can understand WHO GIVES A FUCK it's ayu's hair and she can do whatever the fuck with it as she pleases what are u the ethnicity police or something?

[FallenAngel0115]

@JuK7Y i feel the same . i dont understand y ppl are upset that she dyed her hair. shes not trying to b a white person, let her dye her hair the way she wants to and hop off. like its not a big deal at all. seriously get a life.

[IhavenonameZ]

@JuK7Y cuz using blonde hair dye on asian hair makes it so much easier to cut it shorter by just using your hands! :D (though there is some that work well *has blonde highlights* :P)

[Ayumura96]

aw, ayumi luks really pretty and cute!

[Animaniac4life01]

sea urchin...? can someone translate?

[fuzzycuffs]

kuri = chestnut

uni = sea urchin

she's thinking of the chestnut candies, so she goes "kuri" since it sorta looks like a chestnut that hasn't been shelled.

[xMissEerie]

ahhh i get the video now.. thnks a lot! =D

[miwsher]

@fuzzycuffs thank you!

[singerdreamer0991]

*point*

lol

[ayumistic]

AYU SOOO CUTE

[IHeartRenoFFVII1101]

Aww she's pretty no homo.

[noodle0912]

That looks delicious, whatever it is.

[kattyen]

wow she looks.. not japanese XD are she wearing contact lins? O.o dont understand why really..japanese people are soo pretty natural ! ^^

[pc617]

there not sea urchins or anything else there chestnuts

[hatti369]

those look pretty tasty though.

[iamabigfatbutt]

Chocolate covered sea urchin?

[Tudle1234]

lmao thast what i thought

[obefiend]

lost in translation

[Antiguiguiofficial]

Haha...so cute ^__^

[54spiritedwill54]

Ayumi is gorgeous.

[TreIsSooper]

she is so bomb...

[SuniiLiiciiousZ]

what are they saying?

[mothmank]

ayu was pointing at the sea urchin and said "kuri", which means chestnut in japanese.

the chef was like, ok... and corrected her by saying "uni", which means sea urchin in japanese. however, ayu insisted on calling "uni" with "kuri" because she's obsessed with "kuri" and the chef was like =_=lll

[SuniiLiiciiousZ]

lol okey xD

[MoodyCupcake]

Ick bleached hair and colored contacts? Why can't japanese girls just except themselves.

[kesia19]

oh give me a break. If a white woman changes her hair or wears colored contacts, its okay, but if a chinese or black person does it, its because they dont accept themselves. get over yourself and let people do what they want without being so judgemental

[kesia19]

I know this girl is japanese, BTW. Just had to say that before everybody jumped on me because they think im calling her Chinese. Sheesh!

[MoodyCupcake]

I didn't mean it like that :o I just think they're prettier without!

[mieparfait]

too bad we're not dressing up for you then, eh? : |

If someone thinks they look better that way, more power to them. If you don't like it, don't do it yourself.

[MoodyCupcake]

Again I'm just saying that they look better natural. Jesus christ.

[AshillaBeige]

I see the same thing coming out of India. It's really sad to see. Indian girls are so pretty.

[ahmednabil]

i know you ment that in a good way , she looks awful that hair and eye contacts .

[Naproxenum]

and I right again, u r Semite... ;3

[darkjapanesegirl18]

not always they just wanna try something different i do it, sometimes i wanna know how i look with different colored eyes and hair, and i totally accept myself.

[AshillaBeige]

yeah, but they aren't trying to look like a different freakin' ethnicity. There's no way to get around that.

If a white person went around in black face, they'd get the shit kicked out of them. If you live a country where non-whites had to fight to be accepted then have people advertising skin bleach and blue contacts is a bit of a slap in the face.

East Asians look gorgeous. The anglocized look is based on racist caste systems, and there's no way to tip toe around it. Tanning is NOT the same.

[AshillaBeige]

Crawl back in your mom's cunt and die.

They're gorgeous, but they're falling victim to pro-Aryan sentiments left over from imperialist countries. It's also due to caste systems. Why do you think they almost entirely try to take on Aryan features. I actually don't really have a problem with wanting to look different, but there's a line where it's obvious people start feeling racially inferior, and it's gay. But you're just retarded, so I don't know why I'm wasting my time.

[ff7redxiii]

its like how ANY girl changes the color of her hair for style and doing different and new things.

[ChibiMie]

she was thinking of Kuri (almond) when she point the sea urchin (Uni) XD

[buck19]

Thanks for clarifying. I thought they were marketing sea urchin candies kinda like how they have squid ice cream and all the other weird food they have over there.

[xLOVEMEExX]

I KIND OF GET IT.. even though i don't speak Japanese... Amyumi points to uni and says uni or soemthing and then the guy's like eeel? ... i'm just guessing :S

[Banzay27]

That looks good.

And she's really cute.

The voice sounds nasally, tho. So much so, it's odd. =P

[ehyrcoykoudy]

ayumi so kawaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiii

[shawnandjoshua]

anyone who can translate plaese

[setsunathemoo]

thanks to her i'm hooked on morinaga products. namely hi-chew XD

[lucytsukimoon]

waaaaa

kawaiii ^^

i love ayumi

[naruto2710]

i don't get it y is it funny

[krazeiuliajaejin]

kore... kore :))) wai. ayu is a sweet :X

[weloveuseiji0]

kuri is like an eggcorn (hehehe) and uni is acually a eel i love eel

[bottomOFair]

uni is a sea urchin

[eternalanubis]

Uni - Sea Urchin. She obviously wasn't pointing to an eel.

[kuratajutsu]

kuri?

uni.

they sound so alike... X|

[BokusatsuTenshi]

she's so pretty in this commercial, but it sounds like she has something in her throat. It sounds really scratchy, like she should've cleared her throat. But i like this commercial alot. Is has the same kind of humor as Azumanga Daioh or something.

[jokerisnomak]

...I don't get it

[khenali25u8]

That is so cute so so so so cute =]

[cberrycupcake]

Ayumi is gorgeous.

(:

[chocolatecafe14]

lolol, so funny!

Ayu is pretty. I think this commercial was made during the days of her album called "Duty"?

[estefanycabrera]

i dont get the commercial.. explain please?

[Sonicblade128]

Translation:

Ayumi: *points* ...chestnut?

Chef: Sea urchin.

*Long pause*

Ayumi: .../chestnut/.

Chef: . . .

*Note - Chestnuts, if you don't know, originate as spiky ball things.

[estefanycabrera]

oohhhhhh thank u i wouldnt have known lol since i didnt know wah tthey where saying until u told me thanx

[loveincentralpark]

iv lived in japan before but have never seen the fascination with ayumi hamasaki!!

japan is filled with hundreds of thousands of girls who muuuch much prettier than ayu.

all do respect....i really don't find her pretty at all.

[moncong123]

why do you think that ayu is not pretty?

[loveincentralpark]

i just think she leaves a lot to the imagination - her acting is bored and withdrawn, almost as though she's too cool to even be there, and she relies on the same techniques.

and aesthetically there's nothing that i (or anybody else that i know that has lived in japan or visited there) that finds remotely attractive.

[gogoutube]

well, so you're saying you find Ayu 100% aesthetically physically unattractive? Fair enough, everyone has opinions. But you do know that she is considered one of the most beautiful women by people all over the world, from France to China to Singapore. She has fans from all over the world who think she is the most beautiful thing to ever walk the earth.

[loveincentralpark]

yeahhhhhh........and??????????­???????????????

[gogoutube]

Reread it.

[loveincentralpark]

i don't need to reread shit you said, i read it the first time.

the fact that a lot of people love her and consider her beautiful does not impede my opinion or view on her.

the media controls to a large degree how people view such celebrities. and i hope that you are just forgetting (and not naive) by how much images of these celebrities are altered to us. even world vision photoshop the children to make them cuter so people will want to sponsor them.

[loveincentralpark]

...my point being - these so-called 'beautiful beings' are not so beautiful past all that make-up, cosmetic surgery, and that overall untouchable stigma surrounding them, as carefully adorned by the media.

and if you have worked with people like this (as i have) you would realise this too.

[crazysharky666]

I like this commercial.

[animegalaxy24]

she's trying way too hard to be American. no offense

[KellyJayJumps]

hahaha! Ayu's not trying hard to be anything. She's Ayu!

[CodyKunLvsGackt]

why do Americans think everyone wants to look like them?

[KokoroMizu]

a lot of people have bluest eye complex, thats including Ayu. Hard to avoid it really

Ayu is highly influenced by american fashion

of course she'll look american too

[AshillaBeige]

"American" isn't white, asshat.

[jitensha]

In a homogeneous country like Japan she doesn't want to look like another Japanese person...like almost every other young person. Yes, Japan is filled with a lot of Twinkies, as America is filled now with a lot of Weabos, but the matter of the fact is she's not trying to be American, because Japanese people fail at is miserably, like we fail at being Japanese. She's presenting a domesticated foreign trend from the West, not America in specific.

[AyuLover98]

hahahahaha i have another 1 of these ads nd ayus talking bowt the hedgehogs hahahaa btw shes saying chestnut lol

[CodyKunLvsGackt]

AH!!!! thank you ^.^

[CodyKunLvsGackt]

not to seem naive, but could someone explain the Kuri joke to me? The closest I've assumed is wordplay (I know Kuri has several meanings)

[fongkahchun86]

Ayu: Kore... (meaning this...)

Chief: Uni (Sea urchin)

Ayu: Kore...

[Well, perhaps they are trying to show to the japanese how similar is the Chestnut to the Sea Urchin]

[fongkahchun86]

Correction

Ayu say Kuri クリ　meaning chestnut

[sakuramambo]

this is the longest one that I got, the other version I have is only 15 seconds.....

[Endrance88]

hahah
