well, I'm not in Japan so I can't use Android AU, but I still buy an Android phone just because of these funny Arashi CMs

[aozora-pedaru.livejournal.com]

But Arashi still do CMs for AU KDDI. the new one will be coming in October.

[buyme-arashi.livejournal.com]

really? i'll edit my post then. btw, where did they announced it and can you link me?

they are probably spiffing up the site for new CMs

[aozora-pedaru.livejournal.com]

It's on the official AU KDDI website here:

New Arashi CM on air starting October 1st.

lol ikr? the only one who's having probs with iPhone/Apple is Samsung, coz the design are similar (tech features too).
Those AU KDDI android phones looks a lot cooler than iPhone :P

But Arashi already endorsed AU KDDI even before the launch of the Android AU line if I remember correctly? And just like nanao253 said, there's a new set of AU KDDI CMs coming in October. I don't think those are Android-related.

I'm so excited for the iPhone to come out on AU. I hope I can wait for it though... I might switch to Softbank just because it's faster...

WHY? I love Android CMs
I have an Android phone and my brother has an IPhone, they don't have nothing to envy :(
But if they do IPhone CMs I will not complain ;)

[eiko-c.livejournal.com]

Maybe the focus of their CMs will shift back to showcasing how ~wonderful and amazing~ AU's services are, rather than Android phones?

They'd both use Android and Iphone... Business as usual... i don't think they'd be stupid enough to pull off arashi just because they'll be promoting iphone... arashi has done a lot to increase their sales... as what the website says, there's a new cm for arashi on october so there's nothing to worry about... really... and besides those android phones are seriously expensive... and can be found only in japan... i mean, i can't find them on ebay... ;( i wish they are also accessible in other countries... i also hope i can see arashi promoting iphone...

Your picture is so kawaiii! XD

[heyjj24.livejournal.com]

The date of the next apple conference is october 3rd, which may be for announcing the iphone 5. so we will see.

LOL I kinda find it funny, since my current work is writing for Android-related blog...
It's sad that the videos has been taken down...but anyway, isn't that everyone already have them all anyway?
well since we know that Arashi has been au's endorsers since 2008 (if I'm not wrong), I guess it doesn't matter what the product's brand is, as long it's in the lines of au service? and it's not like Arashi is banned because they're promoting droid right? :)

Actually, I'm pretty sure the Andriod AU cms were just like all of Arashi's other seasonal AU cms, meaning that since summer is over, they're just taking down the site. I mean, are we able to go to the site for say, summer of last year?

Now, as to whether or not the Autumn CMs will be exclusively for Android or just focused on all of AU's phones...we'll just have to wait until Saturday.

[miiss-hachiiko.livejournal.com]

I just want the Android AU phones because of those features. xD
Though, if Arashi did promote iPhone 5, I would get it fo'sho over here. xD
But...I don't know if I should give up my Blackberry STORM for an Android or iPhone 5...
But as long as Arashi has a new CM, I'm all for whatever they promote. :D

[aidateddy.livejournal.com]

wait...iPhone 5? whatever..i'm still buying Sony Ericsson Arc S. and i don't care! ;p

+10000000000 <3

[mizumi10.livejournal.com]

well, i don't care whether arashi promotes au or not. cms will be cms in my opinion. though...as much as i want one of those androids...being that i don't live in japan, my chances are zero percent. though i am a fan of apple products. i just wonder what's new about the iphone 5. it seems so fast since they released the 4.

[rosemaine.livejournal.com]

I wish they will let others who's not living in Japan use those phones, whatever phones it may be :(

[solipsisticrian.livejournal.com]

Bubububut that's why I have Android.

VOTE ARASHI!
