I Always Make The Same Wish

Mainichi Shimbun commercial: Non and Mainichi Shimbun — Living Lightly, 30-second version

This is a commercial by Mainichi Shimbun in which Non talks about “being yourself.” Rather than embracing labels like “masculinity” or “femininity” imposed by others, it conveys Mainichi Shimbun’s wish for people to value their own individuality.

The footage of Non dashing lightly around while changing into various outfits also expresses the concept of the commercial well.

The background music is Chris Williams’s “I Always Make The Same Wish,” whose gentle vocals and soothing melody are especially appealing.
