Hello! Do you enjoy your winter vacation?
I talk about my favorite TV commercial today. This is the commercial.
I think everyone knows it! This is the public commercial, named "Magic of Greeting (あいさつの魔法。) " by AC JAPAN. I think you often watched it after the Tohoku Earthquake, but it was made in 2010. After the Tohoku Earthquake, many private corporations refrained from broadcasting their TV commercials, so AC JAPAN broadcasted the commercial.
The commercial tells the importance of greeting. A little boy has his name, " John Taro Hello". He always smiles. Many characters seem very fun. The phrase 'POPOPOPON' has very strong impression. Once we hear the phrase, we can't forget it! It expresses the pleasure of greeting and making friends.
When I watch the commercial, I always remember the time when the Tohoku Earthquake occured. I live in Saitama, but I felt a big quake at that time. I watched many shocking news on TV, experienced the scheduled power outage, and lived with worry every day. However, I watched the commercial many times, and I was encouraged. I want to remember the importance of greeting even if we have a terrible situation. The commercial has a power to encourage many people, I think.

Hello Yuki! How are you? I'm sleepy.
ReplyDeleteThis cm reminds me of that earthquake.
Nowadays、sometimes,the word"disconnected society" is used.
So, I think the importance of greeting is getting bigger.
Whenever I meet you ,I'll say "hello!" to you.

I love this CM and all commercials made by AC. They really have a strong message, mostly promoting good family and social relations. I think it is important for Japanese to see these kinds of messages and think about their behavior. I think other countries should have similar types of commercials for the same reason.

ReplyDeleteYou can see a lot of nonJapanese commercials on youtube. On February 4, there will be Superbowl in the U.S. It is the most expensive and greatest even for commercial makers. Check Superbowl commercials on youtube for some fantastic ones.
