I think it was the k-9 Advantix commercial "Ain't no bugs on me" song that had a shiba puppy in it. [ years ago ] Plus, the Vodka Shiba I posted a while back LOL ~
I love watching that video, although I've never seen it on TV, I've only ever see it online. I have seen shibas on lead packaging, and even on a can of what is suspected to be asian dog food.
Shiba inu is used for advertisments of Japanese prepaid card for books(Tosho Card). The link below is collection of those advertisment.You can see those posters in most book stores in Japan.
I KNEW that was a Shiba on the Whole Foods biscuits! I was in there buying fresh sardines for Sansa and while browsing the dog food aisle I saw the box but I was t sure if it was a Shiba or not.
We just filmed a TV commercial for a Japanese cable channel here in the US. They used one of my 8 week old pups(actually two but 1 at a time!) for a Japanese real estate company ad. I haven't seen the final version yet, but have seen the stills. Looks good. It's supposed to air feb/march
When I was last in Japan, Softbank, one of the big cell phone carriers had a big campaign with a shiba. I believe he is still their mascot actually. But they had all these ads with this family and the shiba is the dad, they were pretty strange but funny
