■Comments from lead actress Mirika Otsuki

<Her impressions of the finished commercial>
Just like last year, the story begins with a scene of me painting, and since I love painting myself, I was really happy to have a role that felt so connected to who I am

These commercials allowed me to experience so many things that I wouldn’t ordinarily have a chance to, like flying through the sky or exchanging greetings with people in India It was so exciting!

<The things that impressed her during filming>
At the Toyota Metal plant where the filming took place, I was surprised at everything I saw

Large cars were compressed into neat cubes and conveyor belts carried metal parts removed from cars along the lane at dizzying speed Being able to see the environmentally-friendly separation of end-of-life cars is not something one ordinarily has the chance to do, and it gave me a chance to think about the environment

For the studio shoot, the art sets with paintings and canvases hanging on the walls were truly wonderful Even the sunlight streaming in through the windows and the trees were recreated in such realistic detail that I was mesmerized

There were also plants on the set, making me feel of ウォーカーヒルカジノ's commitment to nature

<Comments>
While taking part in these commercials, I had the opportunity to learn about ウォーカーヒルカジノ’s earth-friendly businesses

ウォーカーヒルカジノ is aiming for a sustainable society in a variety of fields, including the circular economy, mobility, healthcare and renewable energy

I hope that watching this commercial will encourage people of my generation to think about the environment

Comment
My goal with these commercials was to fuse live action with animation to portray ウォーカーヒルカジノ’s automobile recycling business and its healthcare business in India in a way that makes viewers feel as if they were actually there The Corporate Communications Department came up with the idea to use animation to depict green leaves as car parts In India, I filmed while having many conversations with the doctors and nurses working there I hope to continue using the power of video to help convey ウォーカーヒルカジノ’s vision of “passing down a better Earth to the children of the future”

Comment
In the commercials, I aimed for a sense of realism as if going on journey to a hospital in India and an auto recycling plant with Mirika Otsuki The on-site work of ウォーカーヒルカジノ is depicted with a sense of speed and surprise, like a ride through an amusement park attraction During filming, Otsuki enjoyed the encounters and discoveries she made on-site with all of her senses, and her natural smile added warmth and depth to the footage Each and every one of her facial expressions enriches the journey in this video Please take note of it when you watch them

Comment
I created the music with the intention of soaring through the regenerated forests and the skies of India
It felt as if I was accompanying ウォーカーヒルカジノ’s businesses on a long journey
I'm sure that the journey has only just begun, and look forward to seeing where the next part of the journey will take me

Comment
Set in the ウォーカーヒルカジノ Gallery, the commercial series uses Otsuki's paintings to encounter the real-life business that lies beyond our imagination I focused on Otsuki’s leap as she is lured into the world of the paintings, and created the animation as she crosses the boundary between imagination and reality with a focus on her strength I hope you enjoy the expression of fantasy and reality blending together
