JAPANESE JEW SHILLS FOR FANTA

 Thursday, March 11th, 2010 at 11:30am by

I’ve known for some time that Marty Friedman’s career primarily revolves around Japan these days, but I figured that’s because Japan is like Las Vegas or a VH1 reality show, where anyone who was ever even kind of a celebrity will continue to be famous forever and ever and ever, and can therefore still have a career. It’s only recently come to my attention that Friedman actually lives in Japan, like, all the time now. Jews are, stereotypically speaking, pretty short, so maybe Friedman just wanted to live somewhere he could actually be considered of above-average height.

ANYWAY, Metal Injection posted the below video of Friedman doing a commercial for the soft drink Fanta. I’ve had Fanta on two continents, and it definitely tastes better in Europe, where they don’t use corn syrup (’cause there’s no corn!), than it does here in the States – but I have no idea how Japanese Fanta tastes. In other words, I can’t quite endorse Friedman’s endorsement right now, but I can laugh at him for this:

    Fanta is Asia is closer to the American recipe. Although I should add that there are different versions of Fanta in mainland Europe and the UK. The version in the UK tastes more like oranges and is more yellow in colour. In fact, I should also add that I am talking, as I presume Axl is, about Orange Fanta, and not any of those shit flavours like Grape, Bubble Gum and Berry Burst.

    God it’s a slow day.

    Having lived in Japan for 6 years, myself, I can see why someone would fall in love with the culture and the people. I’d move back tomorrow if I could….

    You have syrup in your fanta in the U.S.? That sounds.. disgusting… (And a bit disturbing).

      high fructose corn syrup. It is sugar made from refined corn. It is in most everything here in the States, from Coca Cola to Maple Syrup to Ketchup to processed Orange Juice. Cheap, ubiquitous, and sickeningly sweet. Maybe that’s why Americans are so fat?

    When the Chinese speak, it sounds like they’re about to break into song. When the Japanese speak, it sounds like they’ve been on a completely carb-free diet and are trying in vain to drop a deuce.

    Your Fanta may be inferior, but at least you don’t have Coke imported from the Middle-East, it leaves a black residue in your mouth. You only get that shit from take aways so it’s not all bad but still….. fucking coke residue.

    Marty Friedman is a part of this backing band for Nanase Aikawa that’s kind of a super band- members of Luna Sea, X-Japan, hide with Spread Beaver, and this band Dead End that I never heard of. Here’s a clip:

    Pineapple fanta is where its at.

  • vh

    Anyway, Orangina is so much better than Fanta.

  • the devil’s advocate

    A minute and change for a damn soda commercial?

  • Milktooth

    I’m surprised no one has mentioned the fact that Fanta was invented during World War II in Germany so Coca Cola could continue to profit from the Nazis. So basically we have a Jew selling Nazi soda………….

    I saw the documentary “Global Metal”, and Marty kept on talking about his fascination for Visual-kai…the kind of metal in japan where people would wear outrageous outfits and also some make-up

    In a way, i think Marty is hiding in Japan because he likes Glam Metal but is t00 tr00 to admit it
