With the core concept of “Stay in Nature,” the ad assembled a top-tier creative team including Japanese rising director Shuhei Gotō, visual director Ryōma Koshiba, photographer Kaoru Izushima, and acclaimed Golden Horse Award-winning stylist Stanley Kao, who traveled with Kaneshiro to a secret overseas location. From the behind-the-scenes footage, it appears they flew with China Airlines, and while the exact country remains unconfirmed, many netizens speculate it’s likely somewhere in Southeast Asia.

The ad conveys a healing, refreshing, and natural aesthetic, aligning with what most travelers today seek. Capturing ethereal, dreamlike, and natural imagery is also one of the prevailing trends on Instagram.
