This commercial, featuring Ayami Nakajo dressed in attire reminiscent of early modern European nobility, is for Kirin’s Gogo no Koucha (Afternoon Tea).
It portrays her reflecting on the connections between people that have been woven together with tea since the birth of afternoon tea culture, depicting what the CM’s title calls “What Tea Has Connected.” The background music is an orchestral arrangement of RADWIMPS’ “Zenzenzense,” which beautifully expresses one of the commercial’s themes: transcending time.
