Bathing in balls: Hot Shots Golf 5 TV spot

How strange can Japanese adverts get? After watching these two Minna no Golf 5 (or Hot Shots Golf 5 on North American shores), there's definitely no limit to the weirdness that is the Japanese TV spots.

These videos feature men bathing in a communal bath house - not especially surreal since its part of their culture - but the fact that they're dipping in pools of golf balls is a different story entirely. Add the sumo-sized PlayStation 3 to the mix and you get extreme levels of craziness. Would you jump into a bathtub with a giant PS3?

Anyway, Hot Shots Golf 5 from Clap Hanz is a highly-popular golf game that managed to net 300,000 pre-orders in Japan, and will be released in Japanese shores on July 26. While we're waiting for that, check out the TV spots and tell us what you think.

You have to undertand that a Japanese 'onsen' or bath applies to all of Japan. It's like a spa for everyone. Still kinda weird, but trust me, I live in Tokyo and I'm used to it.
