Seems interesting, but is this a Japanese market thing, or is it available in the U.S. also.

Something about the super awkward wording of the script and how uncomfortably he recites it makes me gleeful.

It physically pains me to watch this. Oh, and I've heard it's nearly impossible to get actual good pizza in Japan, all you have are these chains.

I know, it was hard to look at the guy.

He's not reading that from an autoscript, no not at all. Not only is it allegedly hard to get a good pizza, but apparently it's hard to get good Vocaloid producers to work at Domino's in Japan as well. For the record, I dislike Domino's pizza. The best pizza in the world is made by me missus from all organic ingredience. Only in Japan would a pizza delivery boy be caught dead riding that. Laughing

I saw this the other night, a friend linked it to me. At first I had no idea what this was about but as soon as he asks about Hatsune Miku I knew I was in for a treat. I cracked up way to much at this thing. The zoom ins got me way to much, I mean seriously why zoom in on the guys eyes like freaking crazy. Also the face he makes when he pulls out the phone will be burned in my mind as what the living heck.

Chain pizza honestly tastes fine to me (but then again, so does other fast food; I'm the farthest thing from a gourmet). And I was pretty surprised at how good the songs came out considering that the people who made them are all Domino's employees. This commercial was pretty awkward, though...

He got that so badly wrong they had to edit it in, and even that was a jump cut. No expence spared obviously. Laughing

On my internet I can't watch the video to see how horrible it is, so I just read the article and curse this for being only for Japan! (and iOS)

Also, Dominoes is my #1 favorite pizza place! Too bad the nearest one is 2 hrs from my house! >.< (middle-of-nowhere problems)

I was thinking it was my browser messing up at first or something. When I realized they had a cut and he still made a face like that it blow my mind even more.

I got it out of curiosity. I can't order pizza, but the AR's fun if you've got imagination and time to kill. The model's hard to expand/shrink.
