Blog#10 AXE


Hi this is Kana. Today we can see a lot of TV commercial everywhere. For example; at home, in the train, even on the street. It’s the most effective way to spread new product in Japan. I focused on fragrance commercial. The product name is “AXE”. Do you know this product? AXE is very popular with young men in Europe and U.S.A. In Japan, Unilever Japan K.K. has been selling it from three years ago.


 
 
The story of the ad is following sentences.
There is a man, who is quite common. Before he left his home, he has used the AXE. When he is going to buy a hot dog, the saleslady gave her phone number to him by writing with ketchup. Because of that he was giving off the AXE fragrance.

 

The reason why I chose is that it has a very strong impression. For us, Japanese, men’s fragrance is not so popular. So only to see the men’s fragrance, I paid attention to AXE’s commercial. In addition, this story is very interesting. I like the last scene which the girl makes the calling sine by hand. This commercial is fascinating to young men. This make men rally want to buy this. So, this is very good commercial.

  1. Hello, Kana! I clicked the link in your blog and saw AXE's commercial. The girl's phone number written in the back side of bread with ketchup is wonderful! I think this commercial uses a good strategy for men.

  2. Hi, this is Mie. I like this commercial! We can image easily that AXE gives men (especially passive men) a little courage. Of course, a situation like the commercial isn't common in Japan, but it's very funny and interesting.

  4. Kana,
    Please review your grammar and when to use "a." You have failed to use it several times above. And embed the video from youtube into your blog like I showed you in class again on 11/9.
    This is a humorous commercial, but it might persuade men to buy this cologne if they think that women will like it! Have you ever smelled it?
