Is this a radio commercial from Snake Man Show?

No, it's not.

This is a genuine radio commercial that airs daily on Nippon Broadcasting System.
A pure radio commercial.

Apply and feel the effect? Where?

↑That's a perfectly valid radio commercial, considering imagination is key.


Ott, as in husband?

Pin! ↑ As in, the husband's...?

L → L, as in the size of the husband's...?

Please read the instructions carefully...

This is a universally structured commercial, isn't it?

Radio these days. AM radio, it's already...

Snake Man Show is no longer needed.





AM radio, no, Nippon Broadcasting System has taken ample time...
...to cultivate a market for people over sixty.

This is not meant in a strange way,
but rather, it's an age where one needs to sharpen their imagination to compensate for a body that can no longer move nimbly.

In other words, if the charm of radio as a medium lies in imagination,
I have definitively recognized that this is a successful radio station.

Considering that many radio broadcasts for religious corporations exist worldwide, including in America, this unique form of radio, born from the excellence and diligence of the Japanese people, is a medium we can proudly boast to the world.

The "always an emergency" atmosphere in the seemingly closed-off radio station studio felt like a reflection of Japan's pathological reality. But this is truly the work of a highly trained professional team! I was astounded by their magnificent teamwork.
Though it's outside my expertise, is this what a strong baseball team feels like?
Moreover, the fact that the director here is a woman seems to symbolize the role of this medium. The maternal qualities within men and the robustness of an athlete within women should be embodied by a woman's presence, like the earth, providing reassurance to those around her. After all, it is women who can instantly engage with unfolding events with their intuition.

Who will lead the media of the future?

I would like to entrust it to women.
