KFC 'Whole Chicken' Version

X Gon’ Give It To YaDMX

This commercial has a unique worldview that conveys Kentucky’s commitment to chicken through the powerful presence of a rooster.

The way it steadily moves forward while swaying its body, combined with the intense lighting, expresses strength clearly.

Although it presents the curious concept of showing the chicken before it’s served as food, its appearance inspires a sense of safety and trust.

Further amplifying the force of the visuals is the track “X Gon’ Give It To Ya” by DMX.

The heavy, resonant beat paired with the wild rap leaves a strong impression, evoking power and confidence.

Panasonic VIERA 2008

RunningSarah Brightman

This commercial highlights that VIERA was selected as the official high-definition television for the Beijing Olympics, conveying the passion for continuous evolution behind that choice.

Just as Olympic athletes strive for greater heights, VIERA also pursued the ideal television, powerfully asserting this by interweaving the message with footage of athletic events.

Further amplifying the grandeur of the visuals is Sarah Brightman’s song “Running.” Her powerfully resonant voice is a major draw, and its beauty evokes a sense of hope for the future.
