yet another Japanese tea commercial featuring Audrey Hepburn

I've already posted three Japanese tea commercials that feature a digitally added Audrey Hepburn encouraging a young woman to be her beautiful self (and drink some tea while she's at it). Maybe it's the foreign novelty of it, but these commercials seem to offend a lot less people than the polarizing Gap commercial did. Anyway, these commercials always take scenes from Roman Holiday and subtly warp Audrey so that she's holding a bottle of tea. Sometimes she's colourized to fit in with the modern women, and sometimes she's left in her original black and white. This latest commercial falls into the latter category, and in this one she speaks! Unfortunately I'm not able to embed the video for this one, so you'll have to click here and watch for yourself via YouTube.

Audrey Hepburn Japanese tea commercials

I know nearly everyone has seen these now and they're definitely not new, but news is still very slow and I just really like these. There were at least two tea commercials that ran in Japan that featured Audrey Hepburn quite heavily, and maybe it's just the foreign aspect here, but I really like them. A lot more than the Gap ads, anyway. It's just cute girls being influenced by Audrey while drinking tea! What more could you ask for?





And, because I just really love these girls, here's Vanilla Mood, a Japanese string/keyboard combo, playing "Moon River." They've played a few other Audrey-related songs as well, so if you like this clip, please search for more!
