Found out yesterday morning and I literally did not believe it. I denied it. I fought against it. And it wasn't until shown multiple articles on an ipod touch that I could even fathom such a thing. I will never be able to get over this. Ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever. The world has lost a genius. It's adored pink sheep.
At first one is drawn into the visual appeal and aesthetics of this what with the use of interesting text and music. Very eastern, very Buddhist. Or so it wants you to believe. I, again, am disgusted. I respect the cinematography of the ad, I do, but it's just that this is an ADVERTISEMENT. This is for a huge industry, for superficiality. What I'm disgusted at is the attempt to gain credibility and trust of an audience with the inappropriate usage of these settings, music, typography, and ideals in general.
buying expensive luggage will not enlighten you. buying expensive luggage will not assist in your journey. buying expensive useless things will not bring you peace.
In the end I'm just fed up with these misleading advertisements that many people so easily accept. I have a serious problem with this ad because there is nothing ZEN about SPENDING ALL OF YOUR MONEY for SOMETHING YOU DON'T NEED. I mean a pair of LV earrings are what? Two hundred something dollars? I mean, really.
I'm disgusted; shame on you Japan! By the by, I have nothing to say to someone who is not disturbed by these. I'm sorry but Ronald McDonald (who has always been a downright creepy, if not pedophilic, clown) suddenly transforming into beautiful people is beyond unnerving. It's repulsive.
