New Commercial Series Featuring Ryusei Yokohama
Nitto Kogyo Real Estate Co., based in Minato, Tokyo, has announced the latest release of its commercial series titled "LIVIO owner's emotion" starring popular actor Ryusei Yokohama. This new installment, titled "City and Nature," will be publicly released on August 24, drawing viewers into a narrative that highlights the emotional experiences associated with moving into a new home.
Real-Life Inspired Storytelling
The latest CM captures the blissful moments felt by the protagonist, a LIVIO owner, shortly after settling into a new apartment. The story unfolds with the beautiful backdrop of early morning skies and the city’s vibrancy. Nakaparo intersects alone time with moments shared with loved ones, as Yokohama skillfully portrays this new journey of life.
Touching 'Three Delightful Discoveries'
In this commercial, the character emerges from an unusually early shower, only to be captivated by the breathtaking view visible through the living room window. "Who would have thought that I could be so enchanted by nature in a city apartment?" the protagonist reflects, taking in the lush breezes on the balcony and relishing in the rich experiences this new place offers.
On a clear day, the story beautifully depicts a stroll along the Meguro River—an area the character is fond of from past cherry blossom seasons—highlighting unexpected encounters and discoveries one finds when they include the sense of place and belonging.
"Isn't the green cherry blossom beautiful?" expresses the protagonist with a smile, embodying the fresh sense of perspective fostered by once-familiar scenery now viewed with the freshness of new beginnings.
The Essence of Personal Connection
This narrative highlights the emotional richness one experiences both alone and in partnership. Whether it's enjoying a favorite book or collaborating on home decor projects, every moment feels special. "With more time for myself, I find I enjoy shared moments even more," the protagonist muses, revealing a profound appreciation for life’s simple yet abundant pleasures.
Message Behind the Campaign
The slogan, "Cherishing the Wonders of Day Zero," captures Nitto Kogyo's commitment to supporting joyful experiences as new homeowners settle into their properties. The intent is to illustrate the beauty of new beginnings while centering on how life can be designed anew through LIVIO living spaces.
