Thinking about the 'LUMIX S9' controversy from behind the advertising: The 'gap' between the public and the company has become apparent: Nobuyoshi Kodera's IT strategy (page 2/2) - ITmedia NEWS
On the other hand, there are also opinions that this is not the indirect cause of the S9 controversy. Panasonic held a presentation in mid-May, gathering camera-related YouTubers from all over the world, and it seems that they provided the S9 to the participants free of charge. Since it was stated that 'Product provided by: Panasonic', there was no problem under the Premiums and Representations Act, but the YouTubers who were not invited to the event will be dissatisfied. As a result, some people have become anti-S9 and anti-Panasonic. Perhaps due to this trend, many YouTube videos that are not favorable towards the S9 have appeared.
Many bloggers and YouTubers have never been trained as media people, so using them for advertising is a big risk. Panasonic must have been careful about who they invited, but they have no control over who wasn't invited. This is also a marketing failure.

The rule is that the works that are put off by this cannot be completed ('ω')

In fact, it will end at the point where it was cut off.
If you want to read to the expected ending, the opposite is true.

I know that's been said a hundred times, but I once pre-ordered and bought the first volume of a manga, only to find out it was cancelled before it arrived, and I was like, 'My support for buying it was a lie!' So now I don't know what the right answer is...

Announcement of new TV commercial | Osaka funerals | 50 years of experience | Your local funeral communication hall where the heart of farewell resonates with you Osaka Saiten
The theme of this TV commercial is 'A Proper Family Funeral,' and it features a couple enjoying karaoke singing cheerfully, wishing for a 'proper family funeral.' Our company's image character, Saburo Ohira, not only sings the Osaka Festival sound logo at the end, but also appears as a friend enjoying karaoke.
The song was written by Taro Kida, who is affectionately known as the 'Mozart of Naniwa.' The song has a light and catchy melody that is characteristic of Taro Kida, and adds a touch of elegance to the piece.
Kida Taro composed the song in February 2024, and we have been preparing for the broadcast. Upon hearing the sudden news of his passing, we were very unsure of what to do, but with the support of Kida Taro's family and the people at his office, we decided to go ahead with the broadcast. We would like to express our gratitude to everyone who gave us this opportunity.
We are also very proud that the great Mozart of Naniwa, who created many famous songs such as 'Nissin Demae Iccho' and 'Kani Douraku', composed our commercial song, that it was his last work, and that such a miraculous melody was born. We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude and pray for the repose of the soul of Taro Kida.

Not only the depiction in the MV, but the chorus is too similar to Hansung's MMMBup. https://t.co/MvCPG6RQL9 pic.twitter.com/ifEfbsPby6
The most interesting thing about Mrs. Enjo is that she will be performing with 'THE YELLOW MONKEY' on Music Station tomorrow.pic.twitter.com/AYCiK05LLu

Historical figures by era
Apes
・Home party
・A fun MV
We proposed these main keywords as our initial concept.
Regarding the appearance of apes, I was concerned from the beginning that there was a risk that it might be seen as discriminatory, but it was not my intention at all to liken the apes to people; I simply had the image of creatures of different ages having a home party.
However, I was concerned that the message might be conveyed in a way that was different from my intention, so I checked with the staff and made sure to follow up and supervise in advance the nuances of the special makeup, costumes, and acting, but I would like to offer my deepest apologies to anyone who was offended by the main subject matter.
It was never our intention to create discriminatory content or to justify a tragic history, but the main cause of this is a lack of consideration on our part, as we did not point out all the possibilities and come up with a different idea for what the above keywords might evoke when they are connected by lines in a way that was different from our intention.
We began production with the keyword 'Columbus's Egg' in mind, and we recognize that our desire to create a positive, exciting film led us to neglect consideration of the risks involved, which ended up having an impact.
The story I intended to develop did not have a historical timeline, and I wanted to portray apes as ancestors of humans. And I had a home party that transcended the boundaries of time.
This is an impossible story and is a purely fictional film.
However, we take seriously the criticism that the MV was reminiscent of a certain historical event, and are deeply reflecting on it.
We are truly sorry for this inconvenience.
To prevent this kind of thing from happening again in the future, we will take great care and strive to be sincere and diligent in our expression.
