Not really a fan video but thought I'd share this anyway, as it's REALLY WEIRD...and quite amusing...yet another example of people jumping on the rather popular Sherlock Holmes bandwagon...

Hmm. I really don't know. Oh, I'm sorry, did I say 'know'? I meant 'care'. I don't really care.

Er, yes, didn't understand a word and I prefer a male Sherlock wearing trousers and NO deerstalker, but apart from that, well done, Japan

So...whatever is in the packet makes you as smart as Sherlock Holmes? Interesting!

To me it looked like the chocolate raisins we have in Germany but I've eaten more than one packet in my life and I'm not half as clever as Sherlock.

Ack, it's AKB48. A ridiculously popular girl group in Japan. I can never understand the hype over these girls. But oh well. Goes to show how popular Sherlock is becoming

Jimella, any chance you can give us a (rough) translation please?

-Na-chan, what will you do when you quit AKB?
-To tell you the truth...
[scream]
-What?
-She's dead.
[CASE FILE #1]
-It can't be true.
-Leave it to me!
(group) -Na-chan!
[text over armor: Original idea by Yasushi (?) Akimoto]
- The victim is Rena Kato. She was clubbed to death while filming a commercial.
[text over lamp/bust: Original story by Somebody Aoyama] (I'm sorry, I'm terrible at reading names.)
-The clues are the letter N and this mysterious code. Who was on the scene?
-Nobody apart from the members (of the group).
-All 89 members of AKB are suspects.
-But taking out Na-chan...
-... and the victim too...
-All but two!
(group) -She changed how she said it.
-Will the mystery be solved first, or the ice cream melt first? Aisu no mi! (In Japanese the word for "solve" is the same as the word for "melt" so this is a pretty catchy slogan. Aisu no mi,or Ice-cream Fruit, is the brand name of these little ice cream balls.)

Thanks, Jimella, it sort of makes a bit more sense now!

This is quite weird :D
Is Sherlock really that well known in Japan? Nice!

I think Dramagod should see this since he likes japanese girls so much! Haha.

I love her Sherlockian outfit complete with miniskirt. That would be great for parties.
The commercial was so weird and tacky it was funny.
