Sometimes you just have to go with the Engrish classics - "Mandom - All the world loves a lover. All the world loves Mandom."

At the local supermarket.
From 2008-11-13

I'm really going to have to buy a bottle while I'm in Japan. Just to know.

Mandom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
"Mandom Corp. (株式会社マンダム, Mandom Corp.) was created in 1927 under the name Kintsuru Perfume Corporation and is a manufacturer and distributor of hair care, skin care, perfumes, and deodorants. The company changed its name to Mandom Corporation in 1971 and is now based in Osaka, Japan.

...Tancho's efforts with expanding outside of Japan was further boosted in 1970 when the company launched a new line of highly successful men's care products, called Mandom, which took its name from a combination of the words "Human" and "Freedom". An innovative advertising campaign featuring Charles Bronson became the first of a long series of Japanese ads to feature top Hollywood stars. Tancho then changed its name again, to Mandom Corporation, in 1971."


One of the Charles Bronson commercials. God I just love Japan to death sometimes.
