This Supporo commercial is unique and impacting. It shows how a very different culture has taken some of the best things from western culture and put their own tasteful spin on them. From a good old fashion hamburger, to the joy and excitement of a baseball game, to a young woman dancing her heart out and of course to Johnny’s hairdo that rivals anything Elvis ever managed. They don’t need car chases, action heroes or special effects. On the surface it may seem like a commercial about North America – but it is not. Musically, it demonstrates the innocence, power and excitement of the early days of rock and roll and why it is still loved and imitated some sixty years on. But it’s Japanese rock and roll – and if anyone thinks that creatively showing life as it is experienced by other cultures is not fascinating just take a look at “Parasite” . Remarkable job!!
