A commercial featuring Mio Imada opens with the striking line, “Come on, let’s get messy!” Imada takes dance lessons, eats yakiniku, and gets caught in the rain—activities that make you sweat and pick up odors.

Yet she doesn’t seem to mind at all, fully enjoying each moment.

The ad explains that she isn’t worried about dirt or smells because she can reset her hair with Pantene Micellar.

The tune she hums as the BGM is Beethoven’s Symphony No.
