Got this YouTube video from a post about American pop stars in Japanese ads. It’s from one of my favorite blogs, Wired’s Listening Post.

I wish I could understand Japanese because I think this ad is so funny. What is it saying? “I’m David Bowie, and I’ve become a normal functioning member of society, no longer wearing makeup or crazy get-ups… All thanks to Vittel water.” Is that even a good thing?

David Bowie – Five Years
