raw information | AIG & ALICO CMs

Posted by phil on 2008.10.01

The potential that AIG in the US could’ve gone under without federal assistance may greatly impact Toyohara, who does CMs for ALICO’s hospital insurance program (ALICO is the Japanese division of AIG). According to this article at Gendai.net, there is concern that the instability of AIG will impact how much air time the CMs get now, thus affecting Toyohara’s ranking, which in July had jumped into the top 10 in the Kanto region, up from 12th overall in 2007. Placement in Video Research Ltd.’s ranking translates into money for the talent in the CMs, therefore Toyohara could be another loser in the current US economic crunch.

raw information | CM trivia

Posted by phil on 2008.07.11

According to a Video Research Ltd article released 28 February 2008, Toyohara made it into the top 20 celebrities in CM exposure (based on number of seconds on air, I believe) in 2007 thanks to the Alico Japan CMs and something he did for Warner Music (CD introduction/guidance… ワーナーミュージック CD案内). Not sure if they’re indicating that he (among others) made it onto the list for the first time since 2001.

His placement in the three regions:

  • Kanto: 12th (with the addition of CMs for XBox360’s Lost Odyssey)
  • Kansai: 13th
  • Nagoya: 16th
