Don Quijote’s new commercial, featuring Bruno Mars, a global star who has won 14 Grammy Awards and been nominated 30 times, began airing on August 20th.
■The catchphrase is “Donki Ikuyo”
Bruno Mars, who released his new song “Die With A Smile” as Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars, is attracting attention. The new commercial he appears in was filmed at MEGA Don Quijote Shibuya Main Store.
The commercial shows Bruno Mars and four dancers visiting the store as customers, dancing to fun, upbeat music in various places around the store and purchasing products from Don Quijote’s private brand (people brand) “Jounetsu Price.”
The catchphrase is “Donkey Comes.” The distinctive catchphrase appears repeatedly along with the rhythmic music, enhancing the “exciting and thrilling feeling,” making the video one that makes you want to dance along with it.
■Bruno Mars himself produced the video and wrote the jingle
For this commercial, Bruno Mars himself produced the video and wrote an original jingle, and his attention to detail in creating the commercial’s world view makes it look like a music video.
Bruno Mars, who is a fan of Don Quijote, participated in the shoot with great enthusiasm, visiting the store himself to carefully select the decorations and shooting locations. The interior of the store was decorated in the image of a Japanese festival, creating a colorful space divided into areas with colors such as red, green, and yellow.
The official character, Donpen, also appears, and the synchronized dance scene featuring Bruno Mars and Donpen is a must-see.
In addition, to coincide with the new commercial, limited Bruno Mars collaboration goods have been produced. Hoodies, T-shirts, caps, and tote bags featuring Bruno Mars-style Donpen will be on sale in limited quantities at Don Quijote stores nationwide (excluding some stores) from late September, so be sure to check them out.
