Becky to change her name to Mackee?

(Source: Sanspo) Becky (24) attended the official press conference for Zebra's Mackee pens' new CM campaign yesterday, 21st August 2008. The CM goes on air on the 25th.

Becky, who loves Mackee pens (if you don't know what they are, click here) joked that perhaps she should change her name from Becky, to Mackee. Another campaign will be started on the 25th hence, for fans to choose between the two names "Becky" and "Mackee", the most popular of which will be Becky's name henceforth. The results of this poll will be released at the end of October.

Becky for Jetstar

(Source: Sanspo) Halfie-talent Becky (24) attended Jetstar's official conference on 14th July 2008. I have actually featured her Jetstar commercial in this post; was quite surprised to see a Jetstar ad in Osaka because I didn't know that Jetstar flew to Japan!

Anyway I'll be away to Japan again (on a school trip YAY!!) from 16th - 27th July, so updates will be less frequent. However I will have internet access there so yay~! Personally, I don't have much of a fascination for Becky but just thought I'd put this post here. I find Becky's social life more intriguing, being good friends with Ueto Aya , Fukada Kyoko and Shoko-tan... and purportedly having a tendency to be a lamp-post on other people's dates. Haha.

Osaka CMs

Since today's news is rather unexciting, I've decided to post my long overdue Osaka post! (that I've been talking about since before I moved from the old blog to here). I just took photos of ads which I hadn't seen before outside of Japan, or maybe really hardcore and resourceful fans would have found them online already or something but whatever, I'm dumping them here. There are more on my Samsung phone but my bluetooth ain't working. neither is the USB cable. Will save it for another unexciting news day.


Matsuyama Kenichi (Horikita Maki appears in the same series of ads too, but the photo's in my phone!)


(Click to view larger) Left: Izumi Sano station! Call me slow, but I didn't realize the names of all the characters in Hana Kimi were from Osaka train stations -_-.
Right: Matsu Takako


Yamapi (from supermarket) and MatsuJun! (vending machine along the street)

SMAP. Do you notice that this ad, has NOTHING to do with drinks at all? At least Yamapi and MatsuJun above were "holding the drink". This is just, face and brand name. Haha. Not a very "new" or original revelation but just felt like pointing it out. ^_^

Oguri Shun, Ayase Haruka and that-old-guy whom ive seen in many movies. (Shitsureeshimasu!)

Shibasaki Kou, who's going to marry Satoshi Tsumabuki =(.
And Miyazaki Aoi in a bland CM!

and Becky, for Jetstar!? I didn't even know Jetstar flew to Japan!
