TRANSLATION

She is soo cute omg. I love her singing too. What song is she singing?

She is amazingly cute in this CM. I want her to cameo one of her dogs in a later one, haha.

I love when she says 'sankyuu', she sounds sooo happy.:D

kawaii!! but i don't like her fringe...

what is the song?? an Enka?

I think it's a song written just for the CM? "ただともの歌 / Tadatomo no Uta" or something?

Also the end is LOL.

"OMAE JANAI!!!"

LOVES this! I wish sometimes Ayu sang like that in her some of her songs...so mature and rich sounding.

that's so coolllll!!! anybody can download the CM?....


and her voice was very beautiful..reli...lovin'n it!!!

haha that was cute. :) nice vocals as well!

Don't know what song she was singing, but I'm quite interested to download that CM!!!

I love this CM =)

So cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :heart

She sounds really really really good here. The CM moves so fast, I can barely catch the Japanese. That and because I'm sooooooooo tired.

The song is nice

but like I said in the other threads her lips are so ugly

Wah~~ I reli love this CM XDDD

Thanks LacusClyne :D

Why? She is not doing the fish lips thing so it's okay

I freaking love the song she sings! Wish it was a real Ayu song.

haha shes so funny,love that Tada,tada... part XDD

and that old man LOL XDD

Ahh Ayu is the best at charming CMs :D

So cute ayu,i love this cm.:luv2:luv2

That's a nice song! I hope she'd make a full song out of it. XD Does anyone know who the old man is? An actor or someone? He looks familiar.

By the way... what is Ayu holding? XD

here...i did a quick rough translation. this is what i got out of the CM. sorry, i was on the phone with my mom or i would have responded earlier. i guess i can add this to the first post. xD


woman: 雨止まないわね。
(the rain isn't gonna stop, huh)

dog: 止まない雨はない。
(there is no such thing as rain that doesn't stop.)

ayu: こんばんは。一曲いいですか？
(good evening. is one song ok?)

dog: 流しか？
(are you cruising?)

-woman waves them away-

dog: まぁ、いいじゃないか？
(nah, it's ok right?)

man: ありがとうございます。
(thank you so much.)

dog: やってくれ！
(do it!)

man: それじゃ、新曲行きます。
(well then, here we go with our new song.)

singing ayu: ♪ うわさ話　全て、ただ。　別れ話　全て、ただ。　ただ　ただ　ただ　とも　　涙雨 ♪
(gossip talk...all free. breakup talk...all free. certainly free free free. light rain.)

dog: あんた、いい声だ。
(you, nice voice.)

ayu: サンキュー。
(thank you.)

singing man: ♪ なみだーあめー♪
(liiiiiight raaaain.)

dog: おまえじゃない！！
(NOT YOU!!)

announcer guy: ただともみんな通話無料。
(now even talking to everyone is free-of-charge.)

[[even tho the word 涙雨 (namida-ame) uses the character for "tears"...it really means 'light rain' or rain that falls at a time when you are sad]]

^thanks for the translation!

here's the making of

i just saw the making of in japanese TV XD

really great CM, she looks great

They showed the CM and making on Mezamashi Terebi (Fuji TV) this morning. I actually was watching, yeehaw!! She's adorable in the CM!! She'd said that she wanted to do a CM with "otousan" (the dog) for a while... right? on Twitter was it?

Thanks for the making of identity! She's so cute interacting with otousan <3

omg this is great! I love softbank commercials annd I love ayu so yay!

@identity: thanks! i added it to the first post as well ^^

The CM is adorable ^_^

What a LOVELY CM!

Ayu looks amazing!!! And her voice is beautiful..omg I really love her hairstyling..
nice and funny CM ahhaha

It was really cute...i love the making

haha, oh god, this was so funny!!!! <3

WTF Why is there are talking dog? :P

^ he actually appears in a lot of SoftBank CMs. he's quite popular and very funny. xD

This is so cuuuuute!! I can't stop watching it!

Also, thank-you so much for the translation and the making-of! The translation was really helpful (though I understood a little bit already) and the making-of was really cute! I love her photo with Otousan, lol.

Do you think she'll do more commercials? I'd really like watching her with Otousan more! (Though, I think it's unlikely because of the type of character they gave her?)

I love this CM!!
It's sooo funnnyyyy d(>.<)b

she's sooo freakin' adorable talking to otousan! :laugh
bai-bai~

Her voice was impeccable for that kind of style (enka). :)

Love the CM!

awww!!!!I LOVE IT is so sweet and funny!!

Her CMs have always been far greater than her PVs.

OMg so funny and cute!! did you see the twitter section?? nice nice nice

LOL....is it just me or has Ayu's acting improved a bit 0_o

She looks stunning and she was perfect for this CM actually. Lovely!

Interesting link about CM:

Aww~ So adorable! :D

Ayu's voice sounds wonderful! :heart

And she looks SO very beautiful in this CM!
I love her outfit and her hair!

Yeah her acting was quite good, even if it was just a few lines. She conveyed the emotion pretty well :)

her voice is AMAZING!! I wish she's release THIS as a cover!!!

she sound good

This is so cute!! It reminds me so much of her silly BOSS commercials from a few years ago. :D

OMG Otousan is so cuuuuuute @@ i want to pat his head @@

This CM is so cute!!! with the dog!!

Ayu's voice is indeed good all the time!!

Ahh this CM is hilarious! One of my favourites probably haha It's really quite great.

I love at the end of the making of 'bye bye, bye bye, bye bye' to the dog haha

loving this! i love AYU when she is in this kind of CM.. FUN

SO CUTE!!! <3 LOVE IT!

Nice. It's nice to see Ayu in a story-like commercial. I think this is the first one since 2007?

Is it just me or does she sound different in this CM?

thx ^^

CM is so cool! Ayu's voice is good <3

i love how rich her voice sounds, and how cute she looks. :D

And I love Otou-san in this CM. Maybe he is more cute than Ayu? XD

I'M SO IN LOVE WITH THE CM :heart

Song sounds good and her voice too!

im gonna watch it =)

This was really funny! Her voice sounds beautiful!

It's so cute, I always love Softbank's CM with this dog ^^

oh, ayu's voice is great!!

Its being long since I like a CM of hers! :D :D

Thankfully finally not a Panasonic one

thanks for posting this, it shows a lot more of the making of!
i love how it's not like her making ofs on her official DVD's where they still blur her skin and stuff to try to hide imperfections. her real skin is showing and it's gorgeous.

Funny CM! XD

LOL

Really love the cm! She dresses so stylish, she should trash the **** she wears to music shows lol Love her style in the behind the scenes.

cute cm <3

So cute! Her voice is really good too!

This is hilarious. Why can't she use a voice like that in her real songs?

haha this is awesome! i watched it over 5 times already xD her voice is great, she looks beautiful, her over dramatic comedic acting was fantastic, but most importantly i think she played that percussion instrument extremely well =P

hHAhAa, awesome.

I think the dog was funny xD
Oh, and she looked gorgeous, again!

d'aaw adorable CM :heart
her voice is really good would be nice if she sang some enka songs though, and the dog's soo cute and funny :D

I love Ayumi's cute cms,
they are full of d'aww moments :heart
And Ayumi looks once again gorgeous,
sometime I wish she would sing and make a performance like this.
