JT: One step at a time, toward the future. “Respect for Diversity” edition

OriginalToe

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.
