Elephant Kashimashi “No more cry” MUSIC VIDEO

This is a commercial that promotes Sekisui Chemical’s film-type perovskite solar cells through a conversation between a boy named Kemy and a corgi dog named Carl.

It begins with Carl noticing, because of the heat, that solar cells might be useful, and from there the ad unfolds with detailed explanations.

It clearly shows how the technology is evolving and in what situations it can be used.

Nagi’s Long Vacation Main ThemePasukaruzu

PASCALS – Nagi’s Long Vacation Main Theme [Kichijoji STAR PINE’S CAFE – 2020-01-15]

This is a commercial for Hyoketsu’s new initiative focusing on delicious fruit that ends up being deemed non-standard, featuring the first installment highlighting Hama-nashi, a specialty of Yokohama.

It clearly conveys, through scenes of interacting with local farmers, that the taste remains unchanged even if the fruit doesn’t meet standards.

The lightness of “Nagi no Oitoma Main Theme” also seems to further emphasize the warmth of these interactions.
