Thanks to Matt B for hipping me to this...

As I wrote to Alex: "Looks like Suntory Time came early for Sammy that day."

Japanese commercials are awesome. Never realized how many stateside actors pimp products out there. There was (is?) a pretty popular ad campaign with Boss Coffee (also by Suntory) and Tommy Lee Jones

[3] That Boss coffee ad campaign with TLJ is still going. It's funny but there's zero stigma attached here for celebs pitching every random product. Every successful band, actor, actress or "talent" (mindless tv celeb) has some endorsement. Which is great, as we get to see Ko Yuki in this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KslFocJXBPI
