Recently, 'Little Hevavely King' of Taiwanese music, Jay Chou, became the spokesman for Panasonic GD55 mini phone. And to further stress the 'mininess' of the new phone, Jay was allowed to show off his 'magical' hand in this latest TV commercial.

According to the info given by Panasonic, the GD55 mini phone is currently the smallest tri-band phone available on the market. With a 7.7 X 4.3 X 1.69cm size, it is even smaller than a credit card.

To emphasis the phone's smallness, Panasonic's spokesman, Jay, deviate from his usually cool portray of the cool guy in his previous ads. Instead he was seen using the little GD 55 as part of his magic tools, and played magic tricks with the phone.

During the filming of the commercial, Jay performed his magic tricks without the help of any special effects, and got a perfect shoot the first time round. This gave an idea on how professional and talented Jay is, as a magician.

For all those fans who wants to have a further glimpse of Jay's magical powers, a VCD named "Jay's unstoppable Magical Powers" was also attached to the GD55 miniphone, for all those who purchased the phone. This VCD has footage taken during the filming of the commercial, the making of the commercial, and also have backstage footages, and interviews, hoping to make use of Jay's popularity to boost the handphone sales.

I saw the "Jay Phones" as I'll call them, being sold in this store I know of! They had the Panasonic Jay poster outside their store window! I wanted to buy it off them, but they said that it wasn't for sale! T__T I believe the poster was there for promotional purposes...I didn't even ask teh price of the phones because I just KNEW that it woudl be completely ridiculous price wise and I'd probably drop dead if I knew the actual prices of those phones! :shock: :shock: :shock:

Wow! I saw one of his older commercials with the little magic tricks he did. Which I thought was very cool. Hehe. I wish I had a cell phone. You know US cell phones are so stupid. No offense, but almost every one of my friends have the exact one! Same size, same look, same everything. Gosh. Don't ppl get tired of them? The goodie looking ones are always in China or places around there. Ugh. If only I could run away and live in Hong Kong (or whatever place) as faraway from my parents as possible! I would thank god for putting me in this world. LoL.
