SMAP, SoftBank and Grand Funk Railroad: Do the Loco-Motion!
Posted by Michael Pinto on Aug 3, 2009 in Japanese TV |
This new commercial in Japan for SoftBank is the coolest thing right now: It features the J-pop group SMAP (Sports Music Assemble People) with the powerful 1974 recording of The Loco-Motion by Grand Funk Railroad. I’ve got to say I usually hate when an agency grabs an old hit, but in this case they’ve done a nice of bringing it back to life!
