This is a commercial announcing the renewal of the canned Tori’s Highball.

THE BLUE HEARTS - Dream -

This is a lively Horoyoi commercial with the theme “where getting absorbed begins,” featuring a rapid succession of energetic scenes.

It portrays Nanase Nishino being engrossed in eating, reading, and gaming, as various worlds unfold to match each activity.

By having Horoyoi appear amidst these different moments of absorption, the ad effectively highlights how easy and approachable it is.

The song used is a cover of The Blue Hearts’ classic “Yume” by Fuyuko Shioiri.

Her powerful vocals and the song’s hungry lyrics feel perfectly aligned with the visuals.
