Toyota Motor Corporation began airing the " Sky Blue Crown"and "Lime Green Crown" TV commercials on July 30th, following the "His Crown Sometimes" edition. The day before, on the 29th, a special exhibition event featuring the Crown appearing in the commercials was held at Tokyo Midtown in Minato Ward.
The commercials feature Hollywood actor Hugh Jackman, known for the "X-MEN" film series, driving the Crown briskly through beautiful landscapes of grasslands and seaside. Based on the concept "What if your car's color changed according to your feelings?", sky blue and young grass green Crowns appear to express the speed and exhilaration of driving. Another highlight is the English versions of "That Wonderful Love Once More" and "Kiseki," sung by Jackman himself, playing in the background.
Talent guest Terry Ito andsinger Toshihiko Tahara appeared at the venue. Wearing suits matching the car colors, they immediately unveiled the two Crowns featured in the commercial.
Terry expressed, "It's a car that stirs excitement and imagination. It makes you want to create good memories," while Toshihiko enthusiastically added, "The Crown radiates youthful energy. I think it suits people in their 20s and 30s too." They engaged in lively car talk.
