Have you met an alien before?

I've never met aliens, but I've seen a UFO. No kidding!

Tommy Lee Jones is a one of my favorite actor though I'm not so familiar with movies. Many Japanese people also love him. The video I show you today is very famous TV commercial in Japan.


In this series of commercials, he acts as an alien 宇宙人(うちゅうじん)ジョーンズ who comes to the earth. Alien Jones does a lot of jobs in Japan and  researches how human beings are. He works as a teacher, a staff in Karaoke, a store clerk, a restaurant worker, a Sumo referee, a assistant of  shrines ' men, and so on. These series will show you how it is to work in Japan. Lol

Now he's a station staff.

この惑星(わくせい)の、駅(えき)と呼(よ)ばれる場所では、
What is called a station in this planet,

出会(であ)いと別(わか)れが繰(く)り返(かえ)されている。
I can see meeting and parting over and over.

どうしても行(い)くのか・・・?
Do you really have to go?

どうしても行くのね・・・?
(*Same meaning as the above, but it sounds a little feminine)

ごめん。
Sorry.

出発(しゅっぱつ)進行(しんこう)!
All aboard!

私(わたし)なんかより、もっといい人(ひと)見(み)つかるから!
You can find the one who's much better than me!

ひろし・・・!
(*Her boyfriend's name. Actually, he is a Japanese comedian!Lol)

ごめんなー!!
I'm sorry.

ヨシ。
Okay.

ただ、この惑星(わくせい)では・・・
Well, in this planet,

ヨシ。
Okay.

きゃっ
(*Give a shriek)

付(つ)き合(あ)っている人(ひと)は・・・?
Are you seeing anyone?

いません。
No, I'm not.

別(わか)れないと、出会(であ)えない。
They never meet without a parting.



I like its song, too! I'd be very glad if you would leave a comment :D
Or if you have any questions, feel free to ask me! It would be good practice for us. Thank you for reading today! Bye bye

  1. I thought the video was very funny, lol.

    At the beginning when you wrote "Tommy Lee Jones is a one of my favorite", you added "a", the sentence doesn't need it though it's fine as "Tommy Lee Jones is one of my favorite" :).

  2. I haven't met an alien in person, but I have seen a UFO! I was at a Radiohead concert and everyone was staring up at a shiny item hovering in the sky. It stayed there a few minutes, I looked down and when I looked back up only smoke was there! A few seconds later 2 jets flew by scouting that area. It was fun!

    1. Thank you for sharing your interesting experience! It's really weird. When I saw a UFO with my family, I was a small kid. I was afraid of being kidnapped by them!
      Maybe the UFO you saw also wanted to join the concert :P
