EVA Air officially joined the Star Alliance today. To align with the global network of international airlines, and to present an international outlook, the airline specially invited Takeshi Kaneshiro—playing the role of a “global traveler”—to reinterpret the meaning of travel. The full 90-second commercial will premiere tonight at 20:58 on Taiwanese news channels. This ad will also be edited into 30-second and 15-second versions for broadcast on major TV channels in over 80 countries around the world.

The new EVA Air advertisement is available in four language versions: Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, English, and Japanese. The filming locations span Tokyo and Nara in Japan, Paris in France, and Taitung in Taiwan. The shooting schedule lasted as long as 37 days. This marks not only the longest duration and the most diverse locations Takeshi Kaneshiro has been involved in for an ad, but he also personally recorded all the voiceovers.
 
EVA Air stated that this advertisement was directed by internationally renowned director Peng Wen-chun. Under his direction, the serene tranquility of Nara in Japan, the romantic charm of Paris in France, and the vibrant richness of Taitung in Taiwan were perfectly captured through the lens. Whether Takeshi Kaneshiro is drinking tea, strolling, or galloping freely through fields, his innate elegance and charisma shine through in every dynamic and static moment. Beyond the beautiful scenery, the ad also highlights elements of culture and art. The artistry of Paris, the tea ceremony of Japan, the tea-serving tradition in Taiwan, and even the iconic French classic film “The Red Balloon” are subtly integrated. The film not only showcases local beauty but also conveys a profound sense of humanistic richness. At the end of the video, quick shots of bright smiles from travelers around the world are shown—including a graduation trip photo of five final-year students from Nara, whose school is set to close due to the Fukushima nuclear disaster. Behind each real image lies a deeply meaningful and vibrant story.

All versions of the advertisement videos and behind-the-scenes featurettes will be available on the campaign’s official website www.evaiseeyou.com after 20:58 tonight. In addition, EVA Air has also launched a global online campaign called “I See You – Share What You See.” From now until July 15, netizens from around the world can upload photos taken during their travels to the event’s photo wall, write about what they’ve seen, and share them on Facebook for a chance to win EVA Air’s “round-trip tickets to any destination” as well as premium gifts such as a commemorative booklet and postcards from the Takeshi Kaneshiro advertisement.
 
In addition, to align services with other Star Alliance airlines, EVA Air’s former frequent flyer club will be renamed “Infinity MileageLands Unlimited Miles.” First Class (Royal Laurel Class) in-flight amenities will include Noritake fine bone china tableware and RIMOWA overnight kits. The redesigned Infinity MileageLands card will feature the Star Alliance logo and can be used as an identification symbol when flying with Star Alliance airlines. Diamond and Gold card members will have the same privileges as Star Alliance Gold members, while Silver card members will have the same benefits as Star Alliance Silver members. When flying with Star Alliance airlines, simply presenting your membership card will grant you access to corresponding benefits, including dedicated check-in counters, priority boarding, additional free checked baggage allowance, and access to over 1,000 airport lounges worldwide.
