The song that further accentuates that energetic vibe is C+C Music Factory’s “Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now).” The powerfully driving guitar sound and the piercing vocals combine to clearly convey that sense of momentum.
Only IfEnya
This commercial features Mao Inoue introducing the sentiment behind Mizuho Group’s slogan, “One Mizuho.” That sentiment is said to be “becoming number one for our customers” and “uniting as one group.” Dressed in outfits that match the brand’s image color, the ad effectively conveys the group’s slogan and concept.
