I was on a train. I had my umbrella with me. I had my camera with me. I had forgot to bring a book to read. I was bored. That's the story of my life.

A Seibu Prince Credit Card advert featuring Shizuka Arakawa, who won the gold medal in the winter Olympic games at Turin. Now she is a professional skater and belongs to the Seibu Prince group (that's why she appears in this advert).

The message, あなたの笑顔に会いたくて, can be translated:
"I'd like to see your smiling face."

Did you say "May I Hell You?"

I had to come closer to get the message. I never know why they chose blue/navy for this advert. In fact, they say メイアイヘルプユー (May I help you?) but the letter プ is almost unreadable. Poorest design of the month.
