Don't you ever change, Japan.

u/Jellicent-Leftovers 3d ago

Japan is such a weird mix of maximum uptight following of rules and complete debauchery.

55

u/ShadeDragonIncarnate 3d ago

I've always wondered if the uptight rules caused people to be more... creative once they got into a more private/free space.

u/Jellicent-Leftovers 3d ago

It's more of a doing everything 100% mentality. If your gonna work work hard. If your gonna fuck around then fuck around to the best of your ability.

You can say rape on Reddit what's wrong with you people.

u/DifferentGlove1326 3d ago

idk i just saw this movie once where the guy says, "it rhymes with grape!" and used it as substitute ever since

u/PhilosopherDon0001 3d ago

hearing "grape" always makes me think "The Amazing Grapeist" skit from The Whiteist Kids U Know.

AWESOME !

u/dunfkinground 3d ago

Dang, some of these commercials deserve their own show. Reminds me of the Simpsons Fish bulb episode.

The chicken has its own show believe it or not

u/-Foxer 3d ago

I have no idea what the hell just happened or what I even watched and yet I want to buy their product

u/gamemaniax 3d ago

I thought its that rooster fighter anime

37

u/sos440 3d ago

Okay, I found a high-quality version on YouTube. It's actually Episode 2, and you can watch Episode 1 here.

Context: This is a commercial for a real product called Sea Chicken Chicken, a collaboration between two Japanese food companies, Hagoromo Foods and Prima Meat Packers, in 2019. This article (or a Japanese version) provides more details.

u/Loki-L 2d ago

However, the unexpectedly smooth animation isn’t the only reason to love the commercial if you’re a fan of anime, since it features the voices of two of Japan’s most famous veteran Japanese voice actors. The chicken sounds are actually voiced by none other than Akira Kamiya (Fist of the North Star’s Kenshiro, Detective Conan’s Kogoro Mori, and City Hunter’s Ryo Saeba) and the tuna sounds are voiced by Toshio Furukawa (Dragon Ball‘s Piccolo and One Piece‘s Portgas D. Ace). Hearing these famous voice actors doing nothing but squawking and gurgling (err, whatever sound a fish makes) sinisterly sure makes for a funny departure from their typically major roles.

I knew that chicken sounded familiar!

2

u/ScarletBothrium 2d ago

I recognized the Toshio Furukawa name.

Sidenote: my phone actually spelled his name right in speech to text. Can’t understand when I’m saying and or in, but it got Toshio Furukawa’s name right. 😳

u/Loki-L 2d ago

The way Japanese is build from a very small number of valid syllables, makes it very hard to misspell a Japanese word as long as you recognize it as Japanese.

u/maybeUCnotmeIBeeleaf 2d ago

Binge watches japanese comercials_^

u/F0lks_ 3d ago

You couldn't even watch that on the inter-dimensional cable TV from Rick and Morty

4

u/Boccs 3d ago

Well yeah, that would involve content that didn't stumble over its words every four seconds in a forced attempt to sound organic.

u/Killboypowerhed 3d ago

You clearly haven't seen Rooster Fighter

u/zcas 3d ago

Guess they don't pick up that channel.

u/Dyslexia-voild 3d ago

Wtf i just watched

3

u/The_Great_Squijibo 3d ago

average Japanese tv commercial

5

u/Lurking_poster 3d ago

At first, I thought this was a sequel to that anime about the demon-fighting rooster (which I recommend checking out, it's pretty good).

6

u/AJYURH 3d ago

Western animation could never

4

u/MrRaven95 3d ago

I wish we had commercials this cool in the United States.

2

u/Washout81 3d ago

Not too far off from the premise of the Children of Time book series.

Just replace super evolved chicken and tuna and replace em with spiders and Octopi.

2

u/fireduck 3d ago

This looks like a summary of Beware of Chicken.

2

u/Rygel17 3d ago

I love Japanese commercials. Especially when they do this and you have no idea the product till the end. This was really good, still my most memorable was a feminine pad commercial.

u/CyberNinja23 3d ago

Dammit, I’m invested now.

u/Robot-Zombie-RHCC 3d ago

u/budroid 3d ago

OMG. I so want to eat Shrimp/Pork and Beaf/Squid. I'm willing to buy 30 packets each if they make the ads before xmas :)

u/griffo1970 3d ago

Damn, was just going to ask which anime series - that I would watch the hell out of - this is.

3

u/Honest_District_ 3d ago

It’s not the one from the video, but you might like "Rooster Fighter"

3

u/Ladnarr2 2d ago

I thought it was from an episode of Rooster Fighter.

1

u/BlaineMundane 1d ago

Me too. Looks like Rooster Fighter meets Space Dandy, haha.

1

u/davenirline 3d ago

I thought it's that anime in Netflix where chickens fight.

1

u/kadzooks 2d ago

Halfway through I guessed it was a food ad, not the first time lol. Always funny

1

u/Prinkaiser 2d ago

Good old Sea Chicken commercials.

u/ScarletBothrium 2d ago

They were so worried about whether or not they could they didn’t stop to think if they should. 🐟🐔

u/Debalic 2d ago

A crummy commercial??

1

u/PN_Guin 1d ago

Hi Zev!

r/unexpecteddcc (Though I have no idea who the chickens are. Maybe the Kua-Tin wiped them out, or mayber the Sky Fowl fought back harder than we assumed.)

u/adbedient 3d ago

How can America claim to be superior when this exists?

-11

u/Boccs 3d ago

Please don't use a prepackaged tuna commercial as an excuse to jerk your Japanophilia boner. If you absolutely must weeb, find something of more substance.

u/ElbryanWyn 3d ago

Brother I think it might be a joke.

But even if it wasn't what a deeply strange comment...

1

u/serenygogledd 3d ago

It’s the same style as interstellar 5555 daft punk

3

u/Boccs 3d ago

Nah, Interstella 5555 was done to mimic the style of Leiji Matsumoto, who did Captain Harlock and Galaxy Express 999. This is more in line with Gundam. Similar space motifs but different styles.
