Our pal JPCMHD is back, with a roundup of some of the best commercials that Japan's top companies have to offer. The usual culprits make their appearances, including everyone's favorite cranky Shiba Inu, Otousan. There's som...

The commercials airing in Japan over the last couple weeks have been pretty darn entertaining. We have some advise from Robert Dinero, a visit from Koda Kumi, and some delicious looking Kit-Kat. This all comes from the hard ...

Softmap's Shiba Inu mascot Otousan is a bit of an icon around our offices. His fatherly advice and lovely white coat have kept us entertained for years. Who doesn't enjoy having a conversation with a dog? Could you ever imagi...

I have to admit that I am a complete and total sucker for anything featuring Otousan. Since he is featured in all of Softbank's commericals, that makes me addicted to those too. In the latest one, he gets in the way as mom and Aya try to have a conversation (and fail miserably).

I knew it was only a matter of time before Softbank put our favorite dog in a school uniform. It has happened, and it was worth the wait. Actually, they also put Okasan in uniform. It looks like the two are on a high school d...
