any reason why playstationjp youtube channel blocks comments? i wanted to see what the Japanese people where thinking about it.

 

[Flakster99]

Loud music, folks waiting in line excitedly from selected launch countries from around the world, and with very little software showcasing what the PS4 is bringing to the table. All in all I feel it is a poor commercial, nevermind it being a launch commercial for their home country.

 

[daftstar]

Love it. Need that song too.

 

[Atomsky]

This ad is for Japan? If anything the vibe I got from this ad is very anti-Japan. It basically says that we have the world so fuck you Japan get on board or get out.

Yeah, and they deserved it by going either mobile or 3DS. No fun for you guys, hop on or go fuck yourselves.

man Sony is creating great commercials, Sony A7R just awesome.

 

[Oni Jazar]

In this thread everyone is an expert on Japanese culture and Sony just shot themselves in the foot.

 

[emko]

what games would Japanese people even want that's out right now? i think most don't care right now.

yup, cultural ignorance

 

[Mashin Haters]

lets not downplay the fact that they ALMOST showed joey doing the banderas in that commercial LOL

 

[bigboss370]

that was a boss commercial.

There are Japanese who like western culture just as there are westerners who like Japanese culture but lets not kid ourselves that there isn't xenophobia on both sides.

Granted younger generations are a lot more tolerant because they don't have the same experiences as their parents/grandparents lived through, but some of that will be passed on, this is the case all over the world regardless of culture/nationality.

This is totally off topic though, I never implied hate anyway.

Sure, when we're talking about millions and millions of people, there are always expections on one side or the other, but i was thinking about how things are in general. I fully agree that this commercial isnt very typical japanese, but i dont think that many people in Japan will be pissed because of that (as in the commercial being equivalent of a middle finger, that is what i was refering to when i mentioned hate).

It's really odd to see a Japanese game console get released in Japan last. Now the question is, will there be any launch games that will appeal to the audiences over there?

The name of the song is god-damn impossible to find.
Soundhound and Shazam know nothing, the lyrics tell me nothing, it's strange.

It goes straight up club-banger at the end, wish I could keep it going. Could it be a custom song made for this commercial or something?

I tried googling the lyrics from the song, shazam and soundhound, too.

Nothing.

I want this song! GAF detectives, where art thou?

I guess those detectives... do not exist. It's all one big lie.

The world will become one through play.

Thanks! My Japanese really needs some practicing.

Anyway, the ad is great!

 

[JackDebian]

I like that they showed the guy who won the first PS4 at the big launch party, but I wish they would have showed him doing the Bandaras, that cracked me up.

 

[Anung]

It was a great commercial but it just seems like an odd fit for supposedly xenophobic ol' Japan.

 

[Jeels]

So did anyone find the name of the song.

Unfortunately not

Has the mystery been solved yet? Nobody here knows the song's name?

Yoshida said on Twitter that he thinks it's an original song. So, it's not going to be possible to find unless SCE decides to release it.
