New Coca Cola Japan Etsushi Toyokawa Vampire Commercial Coming Soon

Byjay

Coca cola has released press releases about a new commercial set to be released on February 2nd, 2011. The commercial is set to be part of the Coca-cola Zero “Wild Health” ad campaign.

The “Wild Health” campaign also uses other actors and famous people including Amuro Namie. The commercials are made with high production values and special effects.

Etsushi Toyokawa is set to play a vampire in the newest series of commercials for Coca-cola Zero Free. He’s been in both mainstream films and dramas, and a few unique ones. I have fond memories of him in the classic Japanese drama “Ai Shiteru to Itte Kure”, in the role of a deaf artist. (A great drama to watch if you are starting out learning Japanese.)

The commercial is set to feature some action, and the vampire played by Toyokawa chooses between two drink options. I’m sure you can guess what they are.
