This is a comical commercial that shows how Bold Sun Gel Ball can eliminate the musty odor of laundry dried indoors.

A commercial in which Toma Ikuta serves as the consultation desk for Ariel’s Laundry Help Center, answering questions sent in by customers.

The music used in this commercial was created by Ayumu Matsuki, a self-proclaimed home-recording artist who is active as a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist.

Matching the concept of a commercial designed to look like questions are coming in via SNS such as LINE, a soft, mechanical, game-settings-screen-style melody plays.

It’s a curious tune that conveys cuteness and friendliness while also giving the impression that the consultant is answering sincerely.
