A sober and complete piano concert by the Maestro Sakamoto, who gives us a great recital with songs from his latest album 12; in combination of legendary soundtracks such as Merry Christmas, Mister Lawrence; and other cult ones, such as Solitude from the Tony Takitani movie, or the video game LOL: Lack Of Love, in which he also has credits for helping create the world of the video game.

Leaving us, along with minimalist black and white cinematography, in line with the style of the Japanese musician of recent years, in a mythical NHK studio, a masterpiece whose greatness lies in its simplicity.

The story, which presents clear influences from Taxi Driver and presents an unknown facet due to many of the consequences of World War II, that of the Japanese holdouts, with Sakamoto doing a very cute portrayal of a veteran with PSTD, has beautiful scenes and presents a good narrative and images (sad that we do not have an HD version or at least 480p of the video clip), something that is not usually seen much in video clips of the time and that shows Dolby as a good director beyond a musician.

The Fiat Croma ad directed by Paolo Sorrentino is a normal commercial, starring Jeremy Irons, who makes a speech about travel and sensations with "Somewhere over the rainbow" in the background. It's a stereotypical ad that could have been directed by someone else and nothing would happen, so honestly, fine, but I'm not buying a Fiat Croma.
