2 commercials starring Yuriko Yoshitaka for Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation Card Loan: 'Table Tennis' and 'Dominoes'

As expected, she knocks them over partway through.

The falling dominoes spell out a message that card screening can be completed in as little as 30 minutes.

It promotes a card loan that’s perfect even for busy people.

At the end of the commercial, Yuriko Yoshitaka appears again to set up more dominoes, but she knocks them over once more (laughs).

This features Takumi Kitamura, who has opened an account with Olive and is living conveniently, and Yuriko Yoshitaka, who is still going about her days without knowing about Olive.

In the “The Murmurer” version, Yoshitaka utters slightly poetic words, which are overheard by a middle-aged man; the scene then flows into him speaking about his own desires.

The music in these commercials is from Act 1 of Georges Bizet’s opera Carmen.

The chic arrangement of the brilliant original melody gives the ads a subtly mysterious, story-like quality.
