JA Bank Summer Edition

I've written about JA Bank's squirrel commercials before. They're usually about opening a savings account in the winter. I think it has something to do with the high number of squirrel deaths in the winter or something. Anyway, they've decided it's probably okay to open a savings account in the summer and made a new hot jam.



One of my favorite summer activities is playing volleyball with a beach ball and having flames shoot out of my left eye before spiking the ball. The lyrics are basically:

Because it's summer summer summer summer, let's save.
JA!
(repeat 3 times)
Summer savings!
Sa-sa-sa-savings!

Or something like that.

They also made a bunch of other weird stuff.



The lady says she's saving money for her dream. The squirrels are both in love with her, and a physical confrontation ensues. Then she buys fireworks and everyone is super happy because the only thing better than sex with the woman you love, is fireworks with the guy who wants to have sex with the woman you love. The will he won't he shoot fire in my eye tension is to die for. So... please open a savings account?

There's a new edition of one of my favorite Japanese commercials. The song is just two lines repeated over and over:

Winter saving is JA.
Winter is the season for saving.

This song is so true. Humans are kind of like squirrels, and squirrels are famous for spending all their acorns on fireworks and whores in the fall. Then they spend all winter saving up the bountiful winter gifts nature offers them. You almost never hear about squirrels doing cocaine at one of their frugal holiday parties, just like us humans. So you should open a savings account at this particular bank now, though, yeah, it's not winter yet.

You know how a squirrel's life depends on its ability to save food for the winter, right? Well that's why a giant squirrel is the perfect mascot for opening a savings account. JA Bank has made several squirrel based ads (the one above is the best in my opinion). Each ad ends with the slogan, "This winter save money at JA." Now you understand why 12 giant squirrels are dancing on the moon. Maybe you want to check out some other ads that make sense:
