This commercial promotes the spacious interior and strong performance of the Mitsubishi Motors Delica Mini, even in winter.

The scene of it plowing through the snow is impressive, and the adorable moment when the mascot character responds, “Of course,” stands out.

Another highlight is the parody of the song ‘Toshishita no Otokonoko’ used in the ad—the upbeat melody conveys the Delica Mini’s compact, easy-to-handle qualities.
