Ad: Japan in panic over LittleBigPlanet release

by Andrew Yoon { Oct 15th 2008 at 8:38AM }

We get a little giddy every time we see Japanese people running in flocks in cities. No, it's not Godzilla. Heck, it's not even SackZilla -- this is the Japanese LittleBigPlanet ad, and it just screams "Gojira" to us. This is probably the beginning of a much bigger campaign. Let's hope that Sony finds some success in the Japanese market when selling this title.

Lolol.. it's funny cause that's how it's said. :3

mockery =/= racism.

If he said he hated all Japanese people because of their pronunciation of PlayStation 3, then it would be racism.

Pablos102030 @ Oct 15th 2008 5:55PM

Actually that's pretty accurate. L's are pronounced like R's in Japanese, and vice versa.

Muhammad-Oli @ Oct 15th 2008 9:42PM

Nah, not racist mate. Just a little laugh at the the way they pronounce it. Who wouldn't? :)

I've already scheduled to take the 21st off.

Those Japanese and their crazy fast 15 second commercials, can't they use a full 30 seconds?
It would drive me nuts to 8-10 15second ads in a row.

ExMcCloud @ Oct 15th 2008 10:19AM

Why's the damn ad so fast?

aliss77777 @ Oct 15th 2008 10:42AM

Rated C, for Ceveryone! Can't wait, next week!

stargateheaven @ Oct 15th 2008 4:53PM

Not getting your joke? C? what?
The game is rated A.. A means everyone.

and.. what beat crusaders is in LBP?

LeetPCUser @ Oct 15th 2008 10:01AM

I was surprised how short the add was.

Cornelius @ Oct 15th 2008 10:58AM

Ads in Japan are short. Not like long, drawn-out 30sec ads that we see in North America/Europe. I guess it means more room for adspace. On the downside, they have to be more concise and blunt, and they tend to be overdramatic and silly as a result.

I fail to see how that is a down-side.

I am taking the 22nd so I can have a full day with LBP. Taking off the 21st would only give me half a day of playtime with my 8am-5pm M-F job. You have to wait for it to be delivered to the stores or your house, right? That doesn't happen untill noon aroud here.
