YES! Just read it too. Late April?
This was a fan sighting of him filming an upcoming CM, but I don't know if it's for Kirin.

I think that's the one! Something about dancing in the commercial? With hair half way between Aizawa and Naoki.. <3<3<3

[watchful21]

Yup. Filmed on Jan. 20th. The fan report was written by an extra who was also in CB2.

And then out of the blue, on Feb. 2nd, he randomly blogs about tea:

this year, yamapi seem really generous with his fans. All yamapi fans lucky to have yamasugee and watchful21 thank you so much. *love*

He has a lot of activities, now that he's graduated university. :D
You're sweet.. *hugs* I'm glad you love Pi enough to follow his info this way. XD

OMG. I drink Kirin Milk Tea all the time. Now I gotta try the Namacha kind for sure!

[yamasugee]

Gotta convert! XD
You're in Japan?! Lucky! I really want to try all the random things he's endorsing too... :D

[cheekmunk0409]

Actually, I live in America but I go to a local Japanese market for the milk tea. I tried to look for his other endorsements too like the MOW ice cream and weirder than jelly but couldn't find them.

[yamasugee]

LOL @ weider than jelly XD
Good idea, I should look for it in a Japanese supermarket too, just to see what it tastes like. I've never tried the food, the only thing I own that he endorses is one Russ-K T-shirt...

New info:
Kirin CM to premiere on April 20th
AND...it's all making sense now.
Guess who the voice of the Kirin panda is????
Franky Lily!! (Aizawa's papa)
So that's probably why Pi and Franky Lily are making an appearance on Bistro SMAP. I KNEW there was some sort of significance to that pairing. I just had to put all the pieces together!! Off I am to do more snooping.

[yamasugee]

What?! It's confirmed??? XDDD YAY!!!
I read about the Lily Franky panda thing! Forgot to mention it here! YAY!
Back when Pi went to drink with Fukuyama and Lily Franky like a year ago, I remember wondering how these people were connected at all... Lily Franky wrote Tokyo Tower, right? Such a random gathering! It just goes to show that Yamapi's activities are always planned far far ahead of time, XDDD

[watchful21]

well, april 20th is not confirmed by kirin, but that's what they're saying on 2ch and when it comes to these types of rumors, they're usually correct. Pi's activities are far from random, but dang...takes us so long to piece all the pieces together!!

[watchful21]

Here are a couple of Ayase's Kirin Namachan CMs with Frank Lily's voice. I don't find that panda very endearing, but maybe his CM with Pi dancing will be lots cuter.

Wow... I am amazed for all pieces of puzzle you are putting together.
It is really fun to decipher Pi's code. ^___^
Pi was pimping his endorsement before it even started. XDD
Good job Pi

Thank you for the info, dear

[yamasugee]

I just saw the info on 2CH, it's watchful's sleuthing skillz that are amazing!
Pi and his promoting is hilarious, there are always hints way ahead of time hidden in the "today I ate..." nikki's. XD
