I just saw this ad on the way home today. I didn't notice that part, but I thought it was strange that it said "POWER OF FRUITS" and had a picture of several feminine looking guys on it. I wanted to take a picture, but I can't ever get enough guts to take pictures on the train. My phone is too noisy, and I make people uncomfortable enough as it is.

To Mr Eppard: I agree with Mr. Pav. I wouldn't worry about what the other people thought. Just assume you're a tourist. Hehe. On my phone it has a camera on it (video and still) and when I have the phone on mute it doesn't make any noises. Have you tried that with your phone? And about the picture what is that in the Plus X sign? It looks like a rear end on someone. Hehe.
Emily, all mobile phones in Japan make a sound when they take a picture, to prevent people from photographing others surreptitiously. Even if all the other sounds a phone makes are muted, the shutter sound stays loud.

The ad is for peach flavored gum.
