((get some asks ready! I’m hoping to make this a longer event, and include a bunch of new jams! So remember, your messages are on slips of paper given to the lads, not you physically going in for a hug. If the concert could be paused for hugs, the whole affair would go on for several hours.
Get excited! It’s summertime!!))
For their first foray into advertising, the Shady Pines go a little bit sexier than expected for the Ohayo Pori Choco cookies. The commercial opens to a dimly lit, warm-colored set, draped with chocolate colored fabric. It feels simultaneously wide-open and very intimate, with the lights flickering as if from a nearby fire.
While the boys play a version of “Sex and Candy”, the camera slides over to a shot of the band, surrounded by deep-colored satin curtains and oversized pillows. The firelight glints off of horns and fangs as they play, giving an eerily seductive effect.
Long shots of the band are interspersed with close-ups of each of the boys lounging lazily among dark sheets and jewel-toned pillows in their signature hues. Jyushimatsu hugs his pillow close to his body. Todomatsu traces a little heart shape onto the sheets beside him. “Morning already?”
Choromatsu bites his lip and pulls a drape partially in front of his face. Ichimatsu rolls across his cushion, sleepy-eyed and somber. “Time to get moving.”
Karamatsu runs a hand down the neck of his guitar, improbably in bed next to him. And at the very end of the verse, Osomatsu looks up from his deep red velvet pillow and bites down into a chocolate-dipped biscuit with a wink. “But it’s better to stay in bed….”
Before the chorus can start (and anything that might scandalize the ad board lyrically), a voiceover drops in. “Ohayo Pori Choco. Dark chocolate. Wake up with indulgence.”
F6’s Ohayo Pori Chocolate Angelic White commercial is as sweet and bright as it gets, from the set to the song choice (psst, new single to be dropped sooooon). The morning is sunny and clear from up in the clouds, and the Matsunos are happy to be awake.
Naturally, there’s a small amount of fanservice mixed in. For just a moment each, the boys are, one by one, nestled up in silky white sheets, amid fluffy blankets and heart-shaped pillows by the cluster. Osomatsu laughs, grinning at the camera. Karamatsu flings the covers away, patting the spot next to him. Choromatsu smiles bashfully, hiding his face behind a green heart pillow. Ichimatsu has fallen back asleep, hands curled up next to his pillow. Jyuushimatsu has a full on pillow fight with the camera. Totty holds out his arms, shouting that he wants to be hugged.
The next shot shows all the boys, two to a bistro table. Three quick shots move in to each table, showing off their 3d latte art while the trend is still kind of alive. (And the audio is in stereo, hello headphone users. We appreciate you.)
Jyuushimatsu has a little dog, and Todomatsu has a lot eared rabbit just peeking out. “It’s time to get up!”
With a sleepy cat and a curious frog, Ichimatsu and Choromatsu are next. “Open up your eyes.”
Osomatsu and Karamatsu have a tiny bear with a little round tum and a cartoony skull, respectively. “Come out, greet the new day!”
“Wake up!” Shout all six of them, holding aloft an oversized package of, well, “Ohayo Pori Choco, Angelic White! F6 Campaign!”
((what a last ask!))
All six of the boys were just about to leave, but they step back, pulling their visors back on.
“You guys know what to do,” Osomatsu says. “Everyone!”
All six of them bow, faces low by the ice cream. “Thank you so much! Thanks for coming!”
After a few more moments, they all head back through the door to the kitchen, smiling and waving.
Then Totty pops back out. “And thank you for helping me get to number one! I love you guys~!” He’s so caught up in waving and blowing kisses, the others have to reemerge to carry him back.
((And with that, this event draws to a close! Now,
On to the next one. ❤💙💚💜💛💖))
Karamatsu is absolutely thrilled. Someone calling him a stud? While wearing his fashion? He clutches his chest, leaning against the counter. “My heart! I’ve been so thoroughly blessed! Your kindness and style overwhelms me. It would be my honor.” It’s out in no time, a hearty scoop wrapped up in a cone of still-warm, sugary goodness. It’s promptly decked out with blue-streaked whipped cream, a little extra My Blue Heaven syrup, and some little chocolate stars. “Your style is perfectly suited to this weather! Very practical; I can never get my timing right. Beauty is pain. Go! Enjoy this lovely summer day!” He shakes your hand with enthusiasm, while still keeping it gentle. Your keychain is shimmery white with a blue matsu!
