8. Yes, I had to translate one once in which a young women |

was sitting in the woods singing while her ears gradually turned into rabbit ears.
It was for an MP3 player. :shrug:

building contractor. No, I'm not making this up. It's for Anabuki Building Contractors, and Anabuki is written with the kanji for "hole" and "blow."
The jingle means:
"Our hopes expand. Let's work hard. Our expectations expand. Let's work hard. My chest expands*..."
*Notice her gesture.
Note that knowing what the jingle means does not diminish one's pleasure in this commercial.

13. That's how racoons are always depicted in Japan |

:shrug:
I think his presence in the ad is an extension of the idea of "expanding."
