Feel free to post more commercials subbed or not. neat to see

Just watched them.  Good stuff.  Thanks for sharing.

Hard to believe that they spent money to do an arranged version that R-Type music, which sounds much worse than the music found in the actual game being advertised.

Namco did the same thing in their Genpei Toumaden TV spot, with multiple songs.

That might have been an interim (not final) set of music - in other words, maybe they produced the commercial before finalizing the game.  (Probable, back in those days).

ie there a limit to the cross dressing in Japanese culture or is it always considered appropriate?     :lol:

That's considered "entertainment" a lot of the time.
Kind of like "Uncle Milty" (Milton Berle) in the '50's, or Flip Wilson in the 70's...

Their entertainment culture also takes certain extreme people at the fringes of society, declares them "talents" (at least temporarily), and turns them into products.  It's a schtick, not necessarily an acceptance into "normal" society.

Actually, not altogether different from the 1960's/70's here...

Very neat little pieces.  Also, while I've seen the Hudson Boxing Bee before, this is the first time I actually have seen it in an ad.

Nice to see these with Subs one :-) thanks for sharing the find.

Cool!  Thanks for sharing these.

These where fun to watch today. Thanks for sharing. I do enjoy these old commercials.

Its nice to have these sub-titled.

And, to echo what folks have said earlier: how can I get my hands on the China Warrior/Kung Fu arrangement used in the ad? Ha! If only it existed. I'd love to listen to it.

And the Ennio Morricone sample in the PC Genjin advertisement was totally apropos, IMHO.

Nice one . Thanks

Great! I never saw those before.

The Ys commerical guy/stuudio has to be the same as the Record of Lodoss OVA one, watching it felt like I was watching the beginning of one of the episodes

Just checked, both original anime of Lodoss and Ys have the same main voice actor

That Ordyne ad is false advertising haha.

Yeah. :)

Of course, the commercial was using a wooden roller coaster as a reference point...so I feel like they were in on the joke.
