Big Softbank shop in Omotesando

The building in Omotesando that used be J-Crew has turned into the biggest keitai shop I’ve ever seen. And of course it’s a Softbank shop. Personally, I think they should save their money to improve their service rather than waste it on trying to look flashy. That’s what Vodafone did and they didn’t last 2 years in Japan.

To make things worse they have this huge poster of Cameron Diaz staring at you. It kind of freaks me out. I heard they paid her a million dollars to be in one of the TV commercials. Vodafone spent a lot of money paying foreign celebrities like David Beckham to be in their ads and look what happened. I think Softbank should learn from that lesson and stick with the local talent. I predict the shop will be gone in less than a year. I guess you can tell that I’m not a big fan of J-Phone > Vodafone > Softbank. It’s still the same mediocre service with a different name.

Who wants to see Diaz’s ugly mug? Personally I find her repugnant. I would rather see a cute smiling Japanese lady’s face any day. Have to agree with you there.

You are right, she looks quite the freak and not attractive in the slightest. Reminds me of that ditzy Kelly from Lost in Translation.. or does Kelly remind me of that ditzy Diaz? Trying hard to be cool and sexy but fails miserably.

Diaz has infamously bad complexion so they must have spent a lot of time with the stamp tool in Photoshop for that mega poster.

Personally I remember first seeing Diaz in ‘The Mask’. She was indeed - smokin.

That look on her face? Disbelief of being dumped by Justin Timberlake……. Looooooooooooooooooooser !
