Yu-Pack Web Movie Not "Seriously Serious," but "Seriously Serious."
On December 8, Japan Post released a parody web movie titled "Silly Serious." based on its "Seriously Serious." TV commercial series for "Yu-Pack."
In the TV commercial, the "seriously silly" postal worker played by comedian Hitoshi Matsumoto of the duo Downtown is replaced in the web movie by an alpaca, a camelid animal. Like Matsumoto, the alpaca earnestly and stoically carries out delivery duties around town.
Since alpacas are treated the same as large dogs under the Road Traffic Act and require leashes, staff members walked alongside the alpaca holding its leash during filming. The footage was then completed using computer processing.
The movie features high-quality production, including footage from the original commercial where actress Tae Kimura plays the cafe bar's owner. The rephrased dialogue among regular customers is also amusing, such as "The clothes and stuff, they're 100% their own, right?" and "Even when they come to this place, they only eat grass."
While the original CM was praised for Matsumoto's acting without comedy, the movie seems poised to become a talking point by turning that very aspect on its head.
