Toyota Aqua and Chocolate Disco


This is a commercial for Toyota's Aqua. I guess because it's a hybrid vehicle they chose to make a nature oriented time lapse video from different locations around Mt. Fuji. Perhaps they are also implying that the Aqua, like Mt. Fuji, is one of the great symbols of Japan. It's a very moving cm, indeed. And what beautiful music! The song is in fact a cover of one of the best Japanese songs of all time, Chocolate Disco by Perfume. It's a very odd choice. I would guess that most people under 70 recognize the music, and it makes the ad seem like a joke. Here's the original video. Please study the dance moves.
