I just binge-watched about three hours worth of Arashi CM's, from pre-debut to their 15th anniversary. And the amazing part is that I'm pretty sure there's still loads of stuff out there that I haven't even seen or heard of. I really, really enjoy CM's as a fan. They're so gorgeous they're practically like animated magazine shoots, full of glossiness and hilarity and positive energy.
Anyways, enjoy this gifspam into the shiny, plastic world of commercials!
*And yes, this is going to be a pure gifspam. Unadulterated by my rambling comments. It's loooong, so please allow a few minutes for your browser to load.

Okay, I'm going to stop right here. But there are tons more lovely/hilarious/beautiful/heart-warming/bad-ass Arashi CM's out there! So please check them out if you have the time ^.^ Because there are so many types of roles that the five boys take on that we can't see in any other setting.
For the Aimiya for McDonalds one... Arashi has me so twisted now, I am convinced that there was a naked man with nothing but a fanny pack on doing Nino's hair.
ReplyDeleteAnd no one else was fazed.
I know it is probably just the coloring but I can't unsee it.
Do you see what I am talking about?
Haha now I'm seeing the naked man, too! You're messing with my mind lol <3
