Mmmmm, I approve of Japanese ‘mice’.

Call me a sick s.o.b., but I was kind of hoping the cat would hook one of those girls out of the hole, then run off screen, tiny struggling Japanese girl firmly clamped in its jaws.

Yeah, I always think japanese pop groups are adorable, and i sometimes secretly like the music…
until i remember they no longer own their own lives for x number of years, and the crazy contracts surrounding these groups.
then i usually ponder what type of family signs away their daughter to such pr machines, then i half shrug it off a cultural thing i probably just don’t understand and our “boy bands” are really probably just as bad in their own way.
i, i, i’ve got, i’ve got mixed feelings, i’ve got mixed feelings…

I was thinking more of the cat getting its paw caught in a mouse trap.
There’s actually a 9 minute behind-the-scenes video of this commercial.

Right?
It’s Japanese, so it must be unusual!

I don’t see what’s so unusual. If you’ve been to Japan at all you know that most rural homes are infested by tiny schoolgirls. They’re cute until they chew up your wiring.
