It's very common to see cute cartoon characters and dancing actors in TV commercials. This one is for a bug bite ointment

Animation is pretty much inevitable with unusual news such as "a snake on a bullet train"

and then there'll be a real snake to help with the explanation (I love the way they report news in Japan!)

This is also in the evening news when they reported how a cop warns a highschool girl not to talk on the phone while riding the bike

All this animation and cartoon stuff is fun

During an evening news program, cartoon figures are used to illustrate train manners

I like this weather picture

Weather reports often give you extra bits of information such as the ideal time to do laundry

and the time it takes to dry it (dryer is not commonly used in Japan)

A weather girl

and her pink furry microphone

She reminds us wearing short sleeves for the day is ok 'cause it's gonna be hot

TV Asahi has a new mascot designed by the same person who created Hello Kitty

It's featured in weather reports

Looks like a seal cross bird

He wears a raincoat during rainy days...

Anchors and major reporters (including the weather mascot) of Fuji TV greet viewers with a bow at the beginning of the news program

Cute weather icons

Another dancing humans and cartoon in a TV commercial

for a department store credit card

A commercial for sour candies

Commercial for lotto

Katori Shingo of the famous SMAP band

Commercial for solar system

Cute cartoon characters are inevitable in public announcement

I expect nothing less than a cartoon character (in this case a deer) to announce the end of analog TV

I want this poster of popular cartoon characters in Japan!

Not unusual for reporters to dress funny
