Boss Coffee
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Boss (ボス?) is the brand name of canned and plastic bottled coffee and coffee-flavored beverages sold by Suntory in Japan. It was released in 1992 and is one of many brands of Japanese Canned Coffee.
The brand's recognizable logo features a mustachioed, pipe-smoking man. It has an equally recognizable slogan: "SUNTORY BOSS is the boss of them all since 1992".
Boss brand is known for its aggressive campaigns which use a jacket nicknamed Boss Jan (BOSSジャン?) as a promotional item.
Famous Japanese singer Ayumi Hamasaki was the spokesperson for Boss in the early 2000s. At that time she starred in commercials singing the Boss jingle which was a cover of Nat King Cole's song "Love".
In April 2006, Tommy Lee Jones became the spokesperson for Suntory's Boss. He was also seen in various Suntory's Boss TV commercials in Japan.
