This is a commercial promoting GU’s “Color Active Shorts,” presented with refreshing, dynamic visuals.

It depicts people moving around against a backdrop of blue sky and ocean, evoking a cool, non-restrictive fit that doesn’t hinder movement.

With a simple structure of visuals, sound, and minimal product description, the ease and casualness of the item come through clearly.

GU ‘Easy to wear, easy to move. GU KIDS’ #WidePantsForEveryone’ version

GU ‘Period Drama’ VersionAyami Nakajo, Sota Fukushi, Noritake Kinashi

Ayami Nakajo GU Official Period-Drama Edition

You might think it says “curry bread,” but this commercial calls GU’s 2021 winter “Magnificent Pants” collection “Karei-pan” for short.

In the “Period Drama” version, GU’s main characters Ayami Nakajo and Sota Fukushi appear, along with Noritake Kinashi.

Although it’s set in a historical drama, all the clothing is from GU; the contrast between traditional hairstyles and modern outfits really catches the eye.

Sota Fukushi bursts in stylishly as the “Karei-pan Samurai” during an exchange between Kinashi and Nakajo, only to be met with a deadpan “Who are you?” from both as soon as he strikes a pose.

It’s the kind of commercial that makes you chuckle without thinking.
