Red Carpet / (Live Edit)

The eternal icon admired by women, Namie Amuro.

Many people became fans not only for her singing and dancing but also for her beauty.

And the song used in the commercial was written exclusively for this very CM.

It became a hot topic for being as cool as a character in a movie.

“For hair that won’t be defeated by adversity…” Along with that message, this product—a botanical shampoo—has become extremely popular among young women.

SWEET KISSES / (Live Edit)

Walking through a classical building in a black dress with a lion by her side… What a bold piece of staging! It portrays a powerful woman capable of taming the king of beasts.

What does this imagery mean, exactly? Interpreting the lion as a proactive man made it click for me.

Perhaps it’s meant to convey the idea of a woman who leads.

The lion waiting outside the room looks somewhat dejected, which is quite endearing.

This isn’t CGI, is it? I’m curious how they filmed it!
