Nice commercial: Nippon Life, Junichi Okada, “Mirai no Katachi” trilogy (three-part series)

It’s a commercial set in a curious world where versions of the same person at different ages gather in one place and consult one another about age-specific worries.

To keep their past self from struggling, the future self offers various pieces of advice—lending persuasive power that comes from overlapping ages and firsthand knowledge of the past.

While it basically has the feel of advice from one’s elders, it ultimately comes from oneself, so the compatibility shines through because the mindset is the same.

Through light, effortless dialogue, it nudges the present self to realize how they should act now.

V6’s Junichi Okada’s performance—portraying himself at a range of ages—is also a standout highlight.
