No, the legend of the cursed Japanese Kleenex Commercial is not true, in fact, I'm not sure the legend even existed prior to 2006. First, the claims that the legend led to the death of the crew are verifiably not true. Keiko Matsuzaka is alive and well and still working on various television shows and movies.

In 1986, Kleenex released this commercial in Japan. It's a simple, almost minimalistic premise: a woman in white and an ogre child sit on a pile of hay and enjoy their Kleenex brand tissues while the song “It's a Fine Day” by Jane & Barton plays in the background.

They say that the baby actor, the one seemingly dressed like an oompa-loompa, later died in a horrible car crash and was decapitated! Even the music in the ad was haunted. It was supposedly an old German folk song containing the lyrics: “Die, die, everyone is cursed and will be killed.” Catchy.

The most expensive advertisement ever made is entitled No.5 The Film and cost $33 million when it was made in 2004, which is equivalent to around $52 million today. The advertisement took the form of a very short film, lasting 180 seconds.

Sakura Sakura "Sakura Sakura" (さくら さくら, "Cherry blossoms, cherry blossoms"), also known as "Sakura", is a traditional Japanese folk song depicting spring, the season of cherry blossoms. It is often sung in international settings as a song representative of Japan.

The Kleenex® Brand's story began during the First World War when Kimberly-Clark developed a crepe paper used as a filter within gas masks. In the early 1920's, that very crepe paper innovation was cleverly adapted into a consumer product called Kotex® Brand which helped women with their periods.

Kleenex is scrapping "Mansize" branding from its tissue boxes after 60 years on the shelves as consumers called it out for being sexist. The company said the tissues would now be called "Extra Large". One customer questioned the firm after her four-year-old son asked if "girls, boys and mummies" can use them.

"Sakura Sakura" (さくら さくら, "Cherry blossoms, cherry blossoms"), also known as "Sakura", is a traditional Japanese folk song depicting spring, the season of cherry blossoms. It is often sung in international settings as a song representative of Japan.

Sakura is a traditional Japanese folk song depicting the coming of spring. Sakura literally translates to “cherry blossom.” These beautiful flowers are celebrated throughout Japan. This song is said to be written sometime between 1600-1800 and is often played on a Japanese instrument, the koto.

Introduced in 1924 as a “sanitary cold cream remover,” Kleenex derived its name both from that cleaning function and to link it phonetically to Kotex, the sanitary napkin Kimberly-Clark had introduced just four years earlier.
