Absolutely Fabulous Cigarettes!!

[GhostGardens]

hmm...i kind of want a cigarette now..

[AnInterestingInsight]

Hey! I love your videos. (:

I'm hoping to go to Japan soon, and i was wondering, in shops, like supermarkets ect, the people on the tills, do they often ID people? Say if you don't look it but you are, or something? If so, do you know the japanese phrase for, 'Do you have any ID?' or something along those lines, i need to know i can get fags whilst out there! XD

[Keaturr]

So, basically, anyone of any age can buy Ciggarettes in Japan? Or is there some sort of age limit.

Putting them in a vending machine is pretty much making them avaliable to anyone? Idk. I wish the UK was like that. Ha,

[lunhil12]

Marlboro meets Morrisey, I love it. I'd love to plop one of those machines here in New York just to see the different reactions.

[Chuloloc]

Interesting. Japan is...FABULOUS!!!!!!

[azazelthegoat]

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and assume you don't smoke o_o

[Midnightryder7]

Here in the states..Marlboro is the number one best selling cigarettes..and Newport menthol is also..what is the number one menthol and non menthol in japan?

[foxyvixen19]

^ _ ^ / *~absolutely fabulous!~* LOL!!!

[foxyvixen19]

This pic really isn't that gay looking at all. Unless you live in the middle of nowhere, most male fashion is going for a more effeminate look these days. That's prob one of the less extreme versions of some of the stuff guys wear now.

I notice the subject of things being "gay" or w/e come up a lot in your videos... Hope you're not a 'phobe!

[TheJapanChannelDcom]

@0gami1tto

Really?

Of my 570+ videos, how often has it come up?

Compared to hetro topics, for example.

And maybe watch my "gay? who cares" video before saying anything else.

[0gami1tto]

@TheJapanChannelDcom

Enough for it to be noticeable I guess. I couldn't find the video you mentioned though. Is it the 'Gay Pride on YouTube' one?

[TheJapanChannelDcom]

@0gami1tto

I assumed you must have seen all my videos before judging me..

I guess not..

[0gami1tto]

@TheJapanChannelDcom

No offense buddy, but I really don't have the time to go through '570+' videos lol. I just comment on what I've seen. I mean it's pretty common to say things are 'gay' in a joking way, it happens all the time. It's just hard to gauge if someone takes it seriously from a bunch of 5 minute videos.

[0gami1tto]

@TheJapanChannelDcom

Sorry, I didn't realise the video you specified was on your other channel. I'll check it out now.

[caldevera]

@0gami1tto it's on his other channel : thesillyolddude

[masashi86]

About japanese using foreigners in their ads, there is that japanese coffee called "Boss" which has the Tommy Lee Jones' image in their ads

That gave me good laughs when I saw it first time :D

[whoo689]

Is it true that Japan has one of the highest rates of smoking in the world? Don't know if that's recent info, but I remember hearing that somewhere a while ago.

[Merakal]

so cigarettes in japan is solded on these machine?You can't buy tobacco that needs roll?

[WOOF1234567891]

DOES ANYBODY KNOW HOW TO: delete the videos that you liked in your settings ? this 1 shows up and i never sign out of youtube and my family can see the videos, and then they will be like why the hell are you likeing ciggarettes ? LOL, so im ognna UNLIKE this video im afraid, unless some 1 can tell me how to delete the info so nobody can see what you liked : P

[TheJapanChannelDcom]

@WOOF1234567891

"unliking" it will show up too ^_^

Just show them the video so they can see why you watched it!!

Or go to your privacy setting and change what shows up on your page.

[WOOF1234567891]

@TheJapanChannelDcom ok thanks, coz theres 160 videos i have, 60 arent really suitable for the average dude if you know what i mean : P , so i unliked all of them . . . . loooooooooooooool , ill go change settings and like this bak . . . .

[moxxfactor]

lol... i wouldn't compare cigarettes to squashes.... but i think the japanese are using their own version of english here again pretending the word "squash" is actually "splash", which would explain the blue-liquid splash on the model's head...

[InkedPictures]

That is so freakin crazy!!!

[MurdocLC]

Me dont like.

[dombower]

i saw the body builder video when i was last over and couldnt believe it! not that they managed to get that photo but that their is a body builder who would openly advertise smoking and use his body to promote it! no morals!

[kimadis]

thanks for these videos. i'll remember these infos whenever i have the chance to visit Japan.

:)

[bumsausage]

That's what winnie blues do to you .

[chrismecking]

strange to me! But in some kind of way very interesting :P

[kerflop]

I've always loved squash. They're delicious and absolutely fabulous.

[cloudstrifeification]

I guess you could call him splash mo-hawk man!!

[fifilafoo]

trendy modern image lol...done strangely for cigarettes lol

[AndreR241]

It doesn't look like a cigarette advertisement at all. More like a promotion for fancy clothing or a perfume or even expensive bottled water...

[Jay42207]

They're allowed to advertise Tobbacco in Japan? I thought only 3rd world countries were pro tobbacco. Does Japan have an Anti smoking ads too? I hope no one's dumb enough to fall for those ads, cause it takes 10 years for 1 ciggarette to get out of your system, 10 years=1 ciggarette, it's not pretty.

[hellohal3]

@Jay42207 isnt it more like 10 years for whatever amount you smoke, not sure if its 10 years though proberly a bit longer

[Jay42207]

@hellohal3 I think it's something like that, but I heard it takes 10 years to completely get rid of the effects of 1 ciggarette from your system. Plus 1 ciggarette is quite a bit of smoke to inhale too, 10 years for 1 ciggarette doesn't sound too far off once you think about it. It's kind of sad that some people do all this harm to their body because of smart advertising.

[mirai23urushidani]

Hahaha! I love the pumped up muscle dude on the tabako machines here. My friend and I were taking pics of it just last week. haha!

[B4IRUTUARU16]

family guy- "SMOKE"

[JeremyScottThompson]

To answer your question in the info box...YES! i have seen all your videos :P

[blackrose881]

smoking is not cool, but that image is indeed fabulous!

[RebelHQ]

Wacky Tobacky ! .... :[

[Nemesis093781]

I think the hair reminds me of an anime character. A lot of anime characters have very over the top hair styles/color.

Thumbs up.

[edtomorrow]

Yep, that about says it all...

[TheIthilStone]

taspo card!!

[litdemon]

FANTABULOUS even!

[KappuuChuu]

okay i would try it, awesome advert. 

[Ranact]

I think it's meant to be a refreshing/renewing look - water, splashing, exotic, foreigner, etc.

Meaning maybe that you'll feel refreshed if you smoke? Kinda opposite of what it is in my mind, but hey what do I know! :]

[frenchbullfrog]

more like " eraser head image" LOL

[LePimp13]

thats bull

[raulycalifre]

more like cyanotic-blue!!! lol

[marafi]

charming.. lol

[tivaevae]

Does that image really make Japanese people want to buy some smokes?

[WOOF1234567891]

LOL taboco vending machine ? , can kids get the stuff inside it ? coz thats bad . .. . :P

[bbvoncrumb]

@WOOF1234567891 Some old machines yeah, but kid usually don't. All the new ones require a special card (of which you need to be of legal age to obtain).

[TheLazy0ne]

yes i've seen all 380 of them :P

[Clearie552]

puleeese, that is totally mild by japanese standards. I don't think there's an issue about the way they portray men, but westerners, maybe yes....

[TubaBuddha]

I would say superpunk is the word you are looking for.

[FourAngelsX]

wow cigs in america cost more ;(

[lenlenXP]

I watched all 378 videos i love japan and i want to go visit for a month or so one day you videos help me to get to know how life there is like tysm ^_^

[nozem]

Malboro ice splash or something, i have seen them on the street yesterday.

I think they went for this particular style of comercial because of the heat here in Japan.

[i8thefood]

sukamen?

kore ga sukamen?

[strawberryjera]

hahaaha!

[AnarUto47]

do a lot of japanese smoke ? and is there also a differnt number of men or women? and do kids smoke because they think it`s cool ? T_T

[Chuloloc]

Awesome. Japan is absolutely fabulous.

[mellowsky47]

I hope the kids in Japan are smart enough not to smoke ciggarettes they are poison in a pretty package.

[HeavySmokerJenni]

hmmm..not Ab-Fab to me, more like Flock of Seagulls-new wave...yes "New-Wave" it is!

[RileyRichardz]

My Grandpa smoked and blue water never sloshed out of his hair!

[Spamphie]

@RileyRichardz False advertising for the win (in this case at least)!

[Aquariangoat]

I wish there was cigarette vending machines in the USA. That would make my life complete.

[SgtBastard101]

@Aquariangoat there used to be,not too long ago.

[DerSchnurrbart]

Water-based anime hair? Maybe it's an avant-garde advertisement thing.

[bigxebo]

I really try to figure out what they wanna emphasise with those pics ;)

[scapenite23]

i know i know, its to say that all crazy people with insane hair smoke. "if only it wasnt dangerous to my health then id have a reason to keep my long hair" XD

[YumeNyaa]

You mean if I buy those cigarettes, I'll have watery hair?

Gee willickers! I want some!

[Enigura]

Not really sure what to make of that but...whatever sells I guess @.@

[NodnarbRS]

Have you seen ALL our 380 Japan videos?

Why yes I have, thanks for asking! :)

[Weapon01]

Reminds me a bit of BladeRunner hair styles

[akasho1000]

That looks like a really good advertising for a menthol cigarette. Thumbs up as usual!

[deckelchen27]

it is kind of appealing to me. :o glad i'm not living there or i might start smoking just to be like the cool water hair guys... ;p

[brokenessbear]

The guy at 0:50 has spock hair. O.o

[makianime13]

like the hair

[nikandnana]

No one does better ads than the Japanese.

[TommyTurntables1]

The kids will like it?

[illmagnified]

I AM ADDICTED TO YOUR CHANNEL! I CANT GO TO JAPAN NOW SO THIS IS THE NEXT BEST THING! PLEASE YOUR DAILY VIDEO UPLOADS TO 10,0000 VIDEOS A DAY PLEASE! THANK YOU!

[hinatagirl101]

@illmagnified

Kind words. But did using caps really get the point across any better?

[illmagnified]

@hinatagirl101 Ya..sry bout that..i just like Japan...Even though im South Korean dude, kind of ironic but reguardless, I like its Culture and it's at the for front of the technological movement right up there with South Korea.

[TheGhostOfSabotage]

Blue hey, groovy! :)

[MadHobbit]

i miss the vending machines

[MageThief]

Cigarettes are crap

[ronfarvay]

@MageThief

Well if smoking will get me a crazy blue cloud above my head, I think I'm willing to risk the health effects.

[egoimperator]

@ronfarvay it is not cloud, it is fabulous hairstyle. LOL!

[ExileOnPrincesSt]

That's not really that fabulous. I mean it's a model with some sort of blue water mohawk thing...

The builder guy with the muscles on the other hand... to quote a friend: I expect "He's so fabulous he probably pees glitter"

[GRAWman]

Fabulous! LOL

[haylz27]

Haha, this made me laugh. Yes, Japanese cigarettes will set your hair on fire or make you gain huge muscles.

[Syc0warden]

haha more of a punk look though :D

[darkfaerie]

It looks like a water mohawk on thier head....maybe the cigarrette company is trying to say the cigarrette is refreshing

[Ericgtx]

@TheJapanChannelDcom Interesting design art, and especially involving cigarettes. I just really have to say, ''wow!'' In Japan there vending machine for everything now...which is awesome! ^-^

[StarDr0ps]

I don't smoke but this definitely one of the most intresting smoking adds I've ever seen. xD

[Flargenyargen]

Japanese marketing and advertising seems so insane to me.

[T0SHIR0UHITSUGAYA]

That is a bit odd.

[jax1492]

i love Japanese vending machines, although cigarettes are not so great

[kua514]

it issss sfabulousss!!! was their hair "smoking" or was it more like "splashing"??

[linkinpain]

@kua514 i think it was blue flames but it kinda looks like a water splash.

[xXbenikoXx]

haha interesting

[Keaos0]

That advertisement just made my brain explode. ^_^

[Gary80965]

I don't really see the point in saying "first" etc on videos, no one cares if you got the first comment, your comment should be about the content in the video. Oh and nice video, all your videos are great, thumbs up!
