sexy back | Corona titillates Japan

Perhaps to make the Japanese forget about the Toyota Corona, the execs behind Corona beer didn't put on the brakes for their 2005-6 advertising campaign for the Japanese market.
Created by Ogilvy & Mather Japan, the suggestive photos and tagline ("Grind it in deeper") are more European than fuzoko (the secret world of sex in Japan where kawaii (cute) meets sex--sometimes referred as the "pink world" or the "pink trade"). At least they elicit a "wow" or a "oh my"...the job of advertising after all...clever bastards.
Wonder if the sale of Corona went up in Japan after these ads were printed?
More sexy liquor ads from around the world @ adsoftheworld. To take a peek at the rest of the Corona ads for the Japanese market, look under the cut. Okay, it's time to leave you alone with them now...

I find it kind of cheap and cliché, always that sex-thing

Well, partly due to "sex sells".
