8. Yes, I had to translate one once in which a young women
was sitting in the woods singing while her ears gradually turned into rabbit ears.

It was for an MP3 player. :shrug:

6. I laughed until I made a croaking sound.
That is a crime against nature.

10. It's for a
building contractor. No, I'm not making this up. It's for Anabuki Building Contractors, and Anabuki is written with the kanji for "hole" and "blow."

The jingle means:

"Our hopes expand. Let's work hard.
Our expectations expand. Let's work hard.
My chest expands*..."


*Notice her gesture.

Note that knowing what the jingle means does not diminish one's pleasure in this commercial.

13. That's how racoons are always depicted in Japan
:shrug:

I think his presence in the ad is an extension of the idea of "expanding."
