Did anybody else catch this little art piece car commercial featuring Prelude? It's actually quite a lovely, simple commercial for a nicely designed vehicle. But anyways, here:

Toyota Aqua Ad

Does anyone else know of any instances where Final Fantasy, uh, things were used to advertise outside of their element? I feel like I've heard the odd tune sampled for rap, but I can't recall the song anymore. I think it was actually Schala's theme that was sampled...

Anyways, check it!

I was shocked by this until I realized that it was for an Aqua, which isn't available here. I think that it almost makes sense to have it in Japan, as it would be a far more recognizable piece of music.

I can't think of any cases like what you describe off the top of my head, unfortunately. I have something just on the edge of my mind that makes me think I do know of one, but I can't come up with it now.

(Warning: Pole dance Championship video, might be NSFWish)

This chick starts her pole dance with an FFXIII song, and when I saw that I just loved it. Not to mention she is a ridiculously talented dancer who I'm pretty sure was classically trained in ballet and the aerial arts.

You're telling me that there's no hope.

I'm telling you you're wrong.

Still much less out of left field than it would be here, though, right? Since that video is of a Japanese performer? Pretty impressive dance, though!

I think the regional context-thing is a valid point.

Also, for the dancing, SUPER awesome. At 0:36? Holy goodness! And then again, at 1:06 and on for a bit, so very impressive. Girl's in shape! I would not challenge her to arm wrestling EVER.
