COCO AND NAKAMURA ON JVC COMMERCIAL
A World Cup 2002 Campaign

 

JVC, the electronic company, who is one of the official sponsors of the upcoming World Cup 2002 tournament in Korea and Japan, features two of the most talented young players in the world in their commercial (CM). One of them is none other than the super Italian rookie Francesco Coco, whose recent transfer from Italy giant's AC Milan to Spain mammoth FC Barcelona caused both sensation and stir. Alongside him is Japan's brightest star at the moment, Shunsuke Nakamura, who was named Japan's Player of the Year in December 2000.

Mammamia... yum! Coco lookin' fine                               wai!!! KAWAII NE??? ^_^

Who Francesco Coco is we already know. It does come as a surprise for us (the webmasters) that his popularity is already big enough for JVC to choose him as their campaign model. Hopefully this JVC commercial indicates that in 2002 Korea, Japan, the rest of Asia and the world, will be able to see him in complete action in the World Cup alongside his national Italian teammates!

We cannot fail to recognize Shunsuke Nakamura either as he is the second star of the JVC commercial. It is only appropriate that Nakamura's 411 is also given because he is no less inferior compared to the hero to which this fan website is dedicated. So we introduce to you this Kanagawa born J-league midfielder who was born on June 24th, 1978. He plays for the Yokohama Marinos, one of J-league's top clubs. Although he is said to have the weakness of dribbling the ball in player jams, which usually finds him in trouble when playing in centre midfield, he is excellent in free kicks, thanks to his left foot, and can send long passes to his teammates. Just like Coco, he has played some good gamesin the left wing side of the field. This player who started playing football at 4 years old has experienced many difficulties in his career as a footballer. However, now we can hope to see him in the World Cup 2002 with the Japan national team. For such a talented youngster that he is, it is not impossible at all!!!
