Iris Ohyama Portable Air Conditioner “The Wandering Man” Version
This commercial, which introduces a portable air conditioner you can use anywhere without installation, is titled “The Wandering Man.” A man carrying an acoustic guitar appears and, to a somewhat wistful melody, talks about the benefits of the portable air conditioner.
Also noteworthy is the characteristically Iris-style surreal humor, such as a small girl getting really into the very cool, mature-sounding song, and a scene near the end where the wandering man gets barked at by a dog.
