[Update: JAL has announced the JAL Arashi Jet 2012 and the commencement flight has already took off]

Is a new Japan Airlines (JAL) Arashi Jet coming soon? Someone snapped a couple of pictures of what looks like will be a new JAL Arashi Jet at Tokyo Haneda (HND) and uploaded to Japanese website Fly Team. In the past 2 years, JAL has been painting some of their planes with the special Arashi liveries. But so far nothing has been announced yet for this year.

Japan Airlines (JAL) has released its latest commercial for fall travel featuring the popular Japanese boy band Arashi once again. It is an "interesting" CM. I didn't know JAL's Touch & Go service is compatible with lobster :p You can watch the 30 second commercial on JAL website (Japanese only). Below are some screen captures from the latest CM.

Japan Airlines (JAL) launched a TV commercial earlier this summer to show their determination on a successful restructuring, providing better service and to thank the customers for their support and understanding. The JAL CM features Japanese popular boy band Arashi's song Movin' On, which matches perfectly what JAL is trying to do. To continue on the campaign, JAL has just launch the new JAL Arashi Jet! Starting from today till January 2011, this 777-200, registration JA8982, will be flying Haneda's domestic routes to New Chitose, Itami and Fuokuka. JAL has created a page to show the flights which this Arashi Jet will be flying.

Back in 1990, Janet Jackson was the spokesperson of Japan Airlines and she shot a couple of commercials for JAL. Seeing her dancing around with a JAL 744 flying in the background and then hearing she says "Yes, JAL!" is just priceless LOL.

JAL has launched a new customer communication web portal called "idea. JAL" on June 6 2009. They have picked celebrities from 5 different generations/life styles as spokespersons. They are giving their ideas on how a good trip should be like and summer family trips. The site also include news of latest products, services and promotions. Looks like JAL will launch a campaign and a series of CM based on this concept. You can check out the CM and the site on the idea. JAL website.
