This commercial depicts Yuki Minagawa training for track and field in a near-futuristic world, while showcasing Aquarius alongside her to highlight its compatibility with sports.

It also introduces Aquarius as the official sports drink of the World Athletics Championships, and the unique worldview gives a sense that it’s a drink from the future.

The song used to emphasize the floating sensation created by this distinctive world is Toshiki Kadomatsu’s “Galaxy Girl.” Its gentle, soothing sound leaves an impression, and the electronic tones that chime in like accents create a mysterious atmosphere.
