JT: One step at a time, toward the future. “Respect for Diversity” edition
In an era where the importance of diverse values is loudly proclaimed, truly respecting diversity is very difficult, yet it’s a theme we simply can’t avoid.
People hold different values regarding tobacco as well, which is why this commercial makes you think.
The music that colors this socially conscious ad is by toe, a Japanese band highly renowned among fans of what’s known as the post-rock genre.
The exquisitely interwoven clean tones of the two guitars, the bass that generates a surging groove, and the busy drumming create a serious tension.
While it’s an instrumental track that never distracts from the visuals, its overwhelmingly distinctive sound is nothing short of impressive.
Unfortunately, since it’s an original piece composed for the commercial, it hasn’t been released on CD or made available for download.
JT: One step at a time, toward the future. ‘The Art of Adult Refinement’ Edition
In this day and age, smokers often find themselves in situations where they feel unwelcome.
As this commercial also says, what you love might be something someone else dislikes—a theme we shouldn’t forget, not just about tobacco but about anything.
That’s exactly why a bit of considerate, adult decorum is called for, and the music that colors this message is by the Japanese post-rock band toe.
If you’re a fan of their work, you probably recognized the track the moment you heard it.
Among their songs, this one stands out as an especially gentle and beautiful instrumental.
It’s a shame the piece was written specifically for the commercial and isn’t available for download, but if you’re interested, be sure to check out their original albums!
JT Social Song: “Let’s keep our distance♪ That includes car following distance, too.”Daigo
In 2020, due to the impact of the novel coronavirus, we started hearing the term “social distance” more often.
This commercial suggests establishing a similar concept—“sousial distance”—between smokers and non-smokers.
A song that relentlessly urges people to keep their distance plays as the CM’s jingle, matching the content of the ad.
While Daigo from the comedy duo Chidori lists people—besides smokers—from whom he’d like to keep his distance, a man strums a guitar and sings rhythmically, calling for people to keep their distance in sync with him.
The style of addressing the issue with a touch of humor is catchy and sticks in your ears, doesn’t it?
