In a lovely study bathed in sunlight, Bakarhythm is doing desk work.

While sitting in his chair and quietly continuing his tasks, he takes a hearty swig of Healthia.

With a sound effect, music begins to play and the tagline “Believe it or not, I’m burning fat right now” appears.

It clearly promotes the idea that drinking it helps reduce visceral fat.

The background music is an instrumental cover of Village People’s “Y.M.C.A.” In Japan, the version famously covered by Hideki Saijo in 1979 is well known.
