No one does "cute" quite like the Japanese. You'd think the ad wizards here in the States would have the presence of mind to slap a necktie and a pair of specs on a cat. I guess if you spend too much time outside the box, you get scooped on an obvious, classic idea like this. Instead, we Yanks get stuck with a talking garden gnome for years and years.

YouTube user sunovia5 helpfully provides a rough translation of the commercial's voiceover dialogue: "'I'm Niyaran. Today big profits are a hard task. (while looking at computer) It's grown! (profits are up!).' Tagline: 'Profitable: Hotel Yakumo.'" So we guess it's a commercial for a hotel that caters to business travelers? Who cares; the silly cat is wearing glasses and taking a plane ride! Cuuuuuuuute!
