This commercial highlights the compactness of the Xperia A4, conveying how easily it fits into everyday life through scenes from daily routines.

It mainly portrays Mari Manabe in her role as a housewife, showcasing the convenience of being able to hold the device even while doing other things precisely because it’s compact.

Another interesting point is how the relaxed, everyday visuals overlap with the tense song “Voices,” which has been used as the series’ CM song.
