Hiroya Ozaki “I LOVE YOU” Lyric Video

This commercial portrays Hiroya Ozaki’s feelings as he heads overseas for work, written like a letter, while also expressing his thoughts about his father, Yutaka Ozaki.

The key point is that he’s going abroad for work, not travel, and by presenting it as a different kind of overseas experience than before, it conveys a strong sense of determination.

At the end, the American Express Gold Card is introduced, reflecting the company’s desire to support people who pursue their dreams.

The song featured, “I LOVE YOU,” sung by Hiroya Ozaki, carries respect for his father and is echoed in the visuals as well.

Though they are father and son, the mood of their singing is slightly different, and that difference highlights their individuality and personal feelings.
