premonitionRAN
A commercial for the Fujitrans Group, a comprehensive logistics company based in Aichi Prefecture.
It portrays the people who work there and the feelings of “love” they have for what they do.
It conveys, with a refreshing touch that overlaps with Ran’s performance, the idea that it’s precisely because they love their teammates and their work that they can achieve greater results.
Since the ad airs only in the limited regions of Aichi, Gifu, and Mie, you can also feel the affection for the local community.
The song that firmly highlights the warmth of the visuals and their breezy atmosphere is Ran’s “Yokan” (Premonition).
A gentle band sound centered on acoustic guitar blends with her vocals, evoking a sense of hope that looks toward the future.
Original song
This commercial uses puppet show–style visuals to portray how important nutrition is in our daily diets—and how hard it is to maintain a good balance.
The previous installment depicted the realization of the importance of a healthy diet, while this one focuses on the struggle of being chased by the demands of nutritional balance.
It conveys the message that, while getting nutrients through vegetables is important, it can be difficult—and that’s when we want you to turn to fruits like kiwifruit.
What makes the drama of these visuals even more moving is the original song, which seems to sing the story itself.
From a distressed tone that suggests wrestling with a problem to the emotional lift when the importance of fruit is realized, the music expresses it all vividly.
