AIFUL ‘Modern Japanese Literature Instructor’ Version / ‘Modern Japanese Literature Instructor: Rice Ball’ VersionMao Daichi, Hiroki Konno

Aiful “Modern Japanese Literature Instructor” TV Commercial [Official]

AIFUL “Modern Japanese Language Instructor” Onigiri Edition_WEB Exclusive [Official]

In a modern Japanese literature class for working adults, a proprietress appears as the instructor and presents a question about interpreting an author’s feelings.

It’s a fill-in-the-blank problem, and the way you answer it branches into two patterns.

If you answer “cat,” she reacts with sharp, comedic retorts; if you answer “rice ball,” she worries that you’re hungry.

The expected answer seems to be the familiar line, “Hey you, is there love in that?” but the fact that it’s unclear whether this really aligns with the author’s feelings is part of what makes it so comical.

Aiful “Wedding” VersionMao Daichi, Hiroki Konno

AIFUL “Wedding” TV Commercial [Official]

It’s a story where the proprietress gives a speech at Mr.

Konno’s wedding and throws out the question of whether this is really the place to be asking such a thing to him.

Along with words of congratulations, she adds her usual line, “Is there love in it?” which ends up making everyone wonder as if this marriage lacks love.

Even if love is something to be cherished, you can see from Mr.

Konno’s expression his lament that, just this once, he didn’t want that phrase to be used.

It conveys how even a famous quote, depending on timing, can make the atmosphere feel uneasy.

Aiful ‘Conductor’ EditionMao Daichi, Hiroki Konno

AIFUL 'Conductor' TV Commercial [Official]

Unaware and absorbed in his game, Mr.

Konno is admonished by the proprietress-turned-conductor.

Although Mr.

Konno is shocked that she suddenly became a conductor, the commercial ends with a scene of him awkwardly giving up his seat.
