If you like hair products or cosmetics, you may know SHISEIDO, a Japanese major hair products and cosmetics company.

The company’s TV commercials always have originality, and this one is no exception.

It is a commercial for the “SHISEIDO Aleph”, which was a men’s cosmetic brand.

The commercial is full pencil drawing movie of “SLAM DUNK”, a Japanese mega hit basketball manga and anime series.

Even it’s a pencil drawing movie, it looks very dramatic.

It’s cool but also playful!

It’s not on air now but when it was, it grabbed SLAM DUNK fans’ hearts. And still does online.

I think it’s rare that there is no actual picture of the product but only a pencil drawing.

This is JAPAN Style!
