Yuzuru Hanyu Washing Machine Branding Movie.” This report takes a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the campaign. Yuzuru Hanyu x AQUA: A message of encouragement to those who take on challenges Yuzuru Hanyu, who has served as the brand ambassador for home appliance brand AQUA since 2024, stars in the commercial “#I’mAllForGettingDirty. Yuzuru Hanyu Washing Machine Branding Movie.” Featuring the taglines “I’m All For Getting Dirty” and “#ThatDirtIs #AMarkOfYourPassion,” the commercial uses the washing machine as a means of encouragement for people who are wholeheartedly pursuing their goals. Hanyu’s refreshing image, combined with the positive message that dirt is proof of hard work, received a strong response. After the commercial was released, AQUA reportedly received many positive messages on social media, such as, “I used to think dirt was something unpleasant, but now I can see it as proof of taking on challenges,” and “My washing machine is a comrade (that fights alongside me daily).” By giving new value to something as ordinary as everyday life, this project went beyond being merely a commercial and became an “encouraging message” that gave courage to many people. Special Interview: “Through his continued pursuit of challenges, we hope he can deliver courage and hope.”

Machine Translated ------------------- "Unique" There is a world that only Yuzuru Hanyu can express, and for that world, a single costume is crafted. The performance that passes by in an instant on the ice, along with the costume, stops time within the photobook. "Couture on Ice" is a volume that eternally captures that one instant. ※Permission has been granted 🎋
