Even Japanese Weather Forcasts Are Awesome - Meet Bike-Oh!

This is how you provide the weather to a nation. While also providing an entirely ridiculous narrative & soundtrack. About motorcycles. And how to transport them. On TV. In Japan.

BONUS: Another ridiculous Bike-Oh commercial for your enjoyment. This time with dancing life-sized rabbits.

If they said “baiku” one more time, I was going to scream. I wonder how that would work in America?

Curse you, Gavin! My 2-year-old son just made me play that commercial 50 FREAKIN’ TIMES IN A ROW! Those damn rabbits will be invading my dreams tonight for sure.

Worst. Jingle. Ever. But their number is pretty clever: 50-8190 as “go-o-ba-i-ku-o”

That second one is just begging for a lawsuit from the mouse…

Is it strange to say that I want to make it with that bread? Because I want to make it … With… That … Bread.

The point isn’t so much that Bike-Oh is transporting the old guy’s bike, but buying it from him. That’s why he is so excited when the tech shows him the laptop; Bike-Oh gave him a much better price than he expected.

“Arigato baiku-oh, katte kurete arigato.”
Thanks Bike-oh, thanks for buying (my bike).
