frannyo 2 Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 I have just been watching tv and have been bombarded with some ads. Quite a few had some tarento in them. Example, that very slight Kiyoshi kid who sings the enka and all the obasans like. He was pointing at some washing up liquid and sang a line that lasted about 5 seconds at most. He also does a cocoa ad and sings for again for about 5 seconds and pulls this lustful look at his cup of cocoa and then smiles at the camera. I just got to thinking - how much cash would they get for doing that? Anyone even able to hazard a guess, maybe some experience. I wish I could earn cash that easily.

bettyx 0 Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 not sure about how much they're paid. but how much do you think i'd need to pay to acquire me a little japanese kid, like the one in the cup noodle ad> y'know, he eats the noodles & suddenly turns into a rocker on a motorbike with hot girls all round him? he's so cute, i hated the ad at first but now he gets me smiling every time...

sunrise 0 Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Probably around 1 mill yen minimum, but it would depend on who it was. Link to post Share on other sites

pie-eater 207 Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Have you seen how fragile looking that bloke is? He could do with scoffing a few pies, he could. Link to post Share on other sites
sunrise 0 Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Of course if you're unknown the pay (thru an agent) is, or was, usually around nijuman. Some agents pay less, like half that (bastards), some more. This would be for a featured role. Extras will get a lot less if there's a big crowd for instance. Link to post Share on other sites
sunrise 0 Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Overseas celebrities, as you probably know have comanded very big bikkies indeed to be on Japanese CMs. You wouldn't get one of them to do a commercial for a measly million yen, pshaw! Link to post Share on other sites
bettyx 0 Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 yikes, has anyone noticed meg ryan's crazy, scary face on the nescafe CM ? & she used to be so cute. Link to post Share on other sites
indosnm 0 Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Bob Sapp was getting around half a million per commercial.... and thats not yen! Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 > yikes, has anyone noticed meg ryan's crazy, scary face on the nescafe CM ? H11 reckons she looks like the heroine of Terminator. The ravages of celebrity have certainly taken their toll on Meg. That and drinking loads of processed coffee for breakfast. Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 cant stand that CM that simulates "24" and its for Calorie Mate isnt it?? What about the UNICEF CM with all the Smurfs being blown to pieces?? Link to post Share on other sites
me jane 0 Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Takeshi Kaneshiro used to get 60 million yen a year for being the face of Geos. Only had to turn up for 2 or 3 shoots a year. Don't really know what he was getting paid for - it wasn't the exclusive rights to his face or anything because his mug was all over some pocari sweat and coffee ads at the same time.

me jane 0 Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Quote: Originally posted by bettyx: who is that geos boy? He's an actor (who's done stuff in Japan, Hong Kong & China). He's 1/2 Chinese and 1/2 Japanese. Father is Japanese, mother is Chinese (of Taiwanese nationality). Speaks Mandarin, Japanese, Cantonese, English, Taiwanese. That's why Geos chose him - but then they changed cos they wanted a more up-beat image, he wasn't attracting the "younger" customer. I suppose they got tired of the Japanese OL's going in to the eikaiwa schools and beg for the old ad posters too (no joke)! Link to post Share on other sites
Error404 0 Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Funny you should say that about Meg. I watched Top Gun again recently and she's in that - much younger of course, but she looks awful. I thought anyway, seemed much nicer looking in more recent things I've seen. (Not seen her in any ad here though) Link to post Share on other sites

misorano 1 Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Veggieman: The guys that drive me nuts are the one's who think pulling a face is funny. (Oh, and the guy who's only gag is to say his name "Micheal"). Shamed to admit it by I actually quite like the "Hard Gay" or whatever his name is guy. Something a little different from the monotonouse duos. Link to post Share on other sites

misorano 1 Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Hey Yama, how's things? Normally these guys piss me off, but this guy is so out there that I find him funny. Maybe it's cos I've only seen it once or twice (our TV reception is shite up here). These guys do flog the same line over and over again. How about those "Nande Darou" boys? [censored]!!!! Tunnels are good for a laugh at times. Don't know if we want to get started on this but the "boy bands" drive me nuts also. esp jonnies etc. Link to post Share on other sites
