When I talked about my next vacation to go back Hokkaido, Garth let me know the episode in which Homer tried to find out why Homer's face is on a Japanese dish detergent box. I checked the episode on the google movie search pages. In the video tape which was sent from Japanese company, their Japanese are full of mistakes but there was a true story about Hokkaido. We do have beautiful nature forests in Hokkaido. :)
And I have to say this: there's no "Mr. Sparkle" soap in this real world.

Homer: Akira, can you read this for me? [hands Akira the box]
Akira: [reading] Ah, yes. This is a product called, "Mr. Sparkle."
Very popular dish detergent. Hey, [points to box
illustration] he looks like you. Ah! Ah - ha! Ah! Ah!
Lisa: What's he saying?
Akira: He identifies himself as a magnet for foodstuffs. He boasts
that he will banish dirt to the land of wind and ghosts.
Lisa: Wow.
Akira: Yes, you have very lucky dishes, Mr. Simpson. This soap is
from the sacred forests of Hokkaido, renowned for its
countless soap factories.
Homer: [thoughtfully] Hokkaido, eh?
