Good Smile Company's Hatsune Miku TV Ad Streamed
posted on by Jennifer Sherman
The Japanese figure maker Good Smile Company (GSC) began streaming a 30-second television commercial this week to celebrate the start of eleventh year as a company. The commercial features the Hatsune Miku song "Good Smile Brings Future," written and composed by the Vocaloid musician Travolta.
Photographs that GSC gathered for its "Let's create Miku Art!" campaign also feature in the video. The pictures originally appeared as part of a giant Hatsune Miku mosaic at the Wonder Festival 2012 [Winter] event on February 12.
GSC thanked people for supporting "Cheerful Japan!," a Great Eastern Japan Earthquake (Higashi Nihon Daishinsai) disaster charity campaign. The commercial features "Hatsune Miku: Cheerful Ver." from the charity's illustration contest. The company has released several charity figures, including the "figma Hatsune Miku Support ver." and "Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Support ver." figures, to aid earthquake recovery efforts.
The commercial will begin airing in Japan during episodes of the Accel World and Fate/Zero television anime series on Friday.
