Suntory BOSS Commercial Alien Jones 'Long-Established Shop' Edition

The theme of this commercial is “slacking off.” Because of the “sabo” connection, this song is used—many of you might find it nostalgic.

Alien Jones has come to conduct an undercover investigation at a long-established Japanese confectionery shop.

Thanks to VFX, the shop owner played by Danshun Tatekawa has been de-aged to how he looked 20 years ago.

Along with that, the BOSS label has also been changed to a classic version.

The role of the son is played by the idea man, Taiiku Okazaki, which makes it pretty amusing!
