Cider doesn’t look much like a Lucky drink for the dudes hanging out in the park near my house.

I should find it annoying but I really like this video. I can’t figure out what she is singing at the beginning though.

Papa wanna lucky morning
man han days are lucky
shining shining for me
handsome guy to want me
big money fit me
I am a lucky girl
because I drink lucky cider.
HAI!

Actually she is singing –

Papa mama lucky morning
my friend is unlucky
sun is shining for me
handsome guy it want me
big money hit me
I am a lucky girl
because I drink lucky cider.

It’s not that bad as long as you understand engrish.

It’s not “Hansome guy it want me” it’s “is watching me”

Al, maybe you like skinny, genki Japanese girls jumping around singing and being genki.

Sex sells! Cute sells too.

Maybe I do. I may have just learned that I am shallower than I thought.

I think it goes

Pappa mamma money luck
My friend is unlucky
Sun is shining for me
Handsome guy (?) want me
Big money fit me
I am a lucky girl
Because I drink lucky cider.
HAI!

This is begging for a Buffalax. Here’s a rough draft:

Paypal uncle moaning
anal eggs are lucky
sigh vagina foamy
hand some guy a gun, Tommy
big hammer no hit on me
Iran a lackey gull
beckon something, a rock inside her!

Love it.

Although now I wonder if this is what I sound like when I try to speak Japanese. Something else to be self-conscious about I suppose.

I love this video more than anyone in my life. ever

… p.s. it’s ‘big money hit me’… an allusion to winning (‘hitting’) the lottery

I LOVE this CM! Nozomi appears as a guest on lots of variety shows over here and sometimes as a guest on my favorite stand-up comedy show. She is really funny…mostly because she is so dizzy, but hey, she gets a nice paycheck from being dizzy while us intellectual types sit around writing bout her.

Rock on Nozomi!
