Nintendo DS Ads Start

TOKYO--TV ads for the soon-to-be-released Nintendo DS will begin airing in Japan tomorrow, according to sports journals Sports Houchi and Saneki Sports. The ad will feature popular Japanese music star Hikaru Utada, one of the best known female vocalists in Japan. This won't be Utada's first time getting involved in videogames as she is known for lending her vocals to the main theme to Square Enix's Kingdom Hearts. Coincidently, the vocalist will be making her American debut next month with a new album, "Exodus". [br][br]The DS spot documents Utada's first look at the Nintendo DS sans rehearsals, with her new song, "Easy Breezy", running in the background. [br][br]Although it's unlikely that the DS will come out until the end of the year in Japan, Nintendo is already prepping consumers for the impending launch.
