au BLUE CHALLENGE ‘Full-Power Aida’ Version

Shota Matsuda, Kasumi Arimura, and other Santaro members “wholeheartedly support” Japan’s national soccer team; new au BLUE CHALLENGE commercial released featuring them humming “Aida.”

KDDI’s commercial, “Zenryoku Aida” (Full-Power Aida), supports Japan’s national soccer team.

When it comes to soccer, this is the song—hearing it instantly brings the sport to mind.

Its official title is the “Triumphal March,” the second piece in Act II of the opera Aida.

Even though the vocals are basically just “Oh,” it’s incredibly catchy and stirs your fighting spirit.

You might not know the opera, but this one track conjures up the soccer pitch in your mind.

It’s classical music, but it’s become inseparable from soccer.

The ad then highlights how this grated daikon sauce pairs perfectly with all kinds of meat dishes—from yakiniku and chilled shabu-shabu to hamburg steak and chicken sauté.

Watching how refreshingly it goes down even in hot weather, plenty of viewers probably thought, “I should give that a try!”

A commercial where Aoi Miyazaki plays a senior employee who brings a treat to her junior colleague, Gaku Hamada, to cheer him up.

Of course Aoi Miyazaki is adorable, but on top of Aflac’s little duck, there’s a new character—a white beckoning cat—and it’s super cute! The beckoning cat and the duck together are the “Maneki Neko Duck.” I wish I could get cheered on by such a cute duo too (lol).
