Yeah. Isn't it just a Rude Goldberg machine...

[prolly]

how is this a commercial if it's over 4 minutes long - unless this is especially made for the internets*


*in that case, does the OP work for a marketing company and are we all here just to get advertising pitched to us disguised as a thread?

if it is a commercial, what message is it trying to convey?

The same message the industry has been pushing for the last 5 years.

• Shochu isn't an old man's drink, it's a young woman's drink.
  
• Shochu is a drink to share with your friends so it's fine to have some in your fridge at home.

This particular commercial also gives a nod towards pitagora suitchi which is quite popular with the target demographic.

Look at the thread title. Shochu is a type of liquor. This is the Shiro brand. Shiro means "white" in Japanese. Thus everything is WHITE in the commercial.
Cheers in Japan is used like "kanpai" as a group toast before drinking.
This is obviously a viral ad.

My question is: Are some of those ladies the same ones who were in Vermillion Pleasure Night? I've been looking for a cast list, but can't find one. I'm pretty sure Naomi Yamuguchi is. (she's the one dancing alone at the end)
