Hello guests! Welcome to The First Annual Japan Probe Awards For Excellence In The Field of Japanese Commercials!
This year was another great year for commercials in Japan. As usual, many of the commercials were actually more entertaining than the programs they aired during. Our panel of committee of judges, consisting of myself, spent countless hours watching Japanese TV and finally determined the winners for each category. The winners are….
Category 1: Best Commercial Featuring A Foreign Celebrity

Winner: Boss Coffee’s “Alien Jones” Series



It almost goes without saying that Tommy Lee Jone’s commercials for Boss Coffee, in which he plays a space alien observing the ways of earthlings, are totally awesome. In the commercial above, he is working as a delivery man and discovers that our planet has strict parking rules.

Runner-up: Kiefer Sutherland’s Calorie Mate Series


In case you didn’t know, 24 is very popular in Japan. In these commercials, Sutherland relives his role as Jack Bauer to sell Calorie Mate bars.
