Toyota G's Japanese Baseball Commercial

A long, Japanese commercial that seems to be about baseball, except it isn't.
A masterpiece commercial,, way before AI. Made in 2015

The Toyota G's Japanese Baseball Commercial, titled "G's Baseball Party," is a visually stunning and engaging advertisement that has garnered significant attention both within and outside of Japan. The commercial, which spans 2:31, features a magical button that transforms the city of Kitakyushu into a vast baseball field, where locals and a retired American baseball player, Warren Cromartie, can enjoy a thrilling game of street baseball. The video was directed by Kan Eguchi, an artist based in Fukuoka City, and was filmed between the end of February and the beginning of March. It has been watched over 4 million times and is featured on the MLB website, highlighting its popularity and impact.
