Y!mobile “Operation: Use Up All the Gigs 2”Mana Ashida, Tetsurou Degawa, Eiko Koike

Y!mobile “Operation: Use Up All the Gigs 2”

This is a commercial introducing that with Y!mobile, any unused data can be carried over to the following month.

When Mana Ashida and Eiko Koike report, “We’ve got data leftover!” Degawa calls out, “Operation: Use Up All the Gigs—go!” As the month draws to a close and they find themselves with leftover data from their plan, everyone tries to use it up by watching dramas and playing games.

However, it’s explained that with Y!mobile you can carry over your data to the next month, so there’s no need to force yourself to use it all—leading to the operation being canceled.

Through a catchy storyline, the message that it’s a smart and convenient way to use your data comes across clearly.
