They had a completely different team working on this CM but who knows maybe they'll do a PV too~ A lot of freelance people.

I think it's logic based humor

For example

Bacon is food
Food is necessary to live
Bacon is necessary to live


Clash of queens
Race queen is queen
Clash of race queens

Logically it works. It's just not true.

Also it's a self aware ad. The soldier at the end -literally- says "something's not right *awkward smile*"

It's a humor based commercial with no intention of being literal. Nor is it supposed to show gameplay and express what happens in the game. Thats more or less what the queens song version is for.

I think everyone has a valid point here.
I think that to many people, what makes an advertisement good is if it clearly conveys the product. What it is, what it does, when it is available, how it works, while also making the commercial interesting enough to make you pay attention and remember the ad and product.
For me personally, This ad told me that it is a mobile game called Clash Of Queens, I didn't really learn what it does or how to play but I am just not familiar with these clash games, it gave the release date, and I did find it memorable despite not knowing Japanese or the joke.
From what I understand, the humor is that Ayu shows up to a clash of queens kind of war but she arrives as a racing queen. This is funny because that is a goofy mistake to do? Part of the humor is that it doesn't make sense?
If Zeke has been studying advertising for years then I think there must be some truth to what he says, he might be a better authority on what makes good advertisement.
Overall I don't think it's worth getting mad over. All we wanted was to see Ayu anyway and that they did perfectly.

^ Haha yes, I noticed. Maybe she wins me over when song and PV/cm are fully released. If not, well.. I think it's okay to not like a song from her every once in while, isn't it?

I don't understand why some people are using a literal and rational lens to evaluate an ad that is clearly meant to be irreverent lol.

I don't understand why people care about the publicity... I wouldn't mind if she sat and sipped coconut water on that Royal chair for 30 seconds with that song and that look.

I'm not fond over what she's promoting the song for, however she looks amazing...

Ayu, Warrior Princess. She'd give Xena a run for her money XD

The commercial looks great! I think she looks really pretty in it. But this song is making me so excited. When she first started the refrain of the song at A Nation 2016, I was like "Please don't let this be a new song. It sounds idiotic." But now that the 30s cm is out and I've heard more of the song. I'm REALLY loving it! I can't wait for the full song. The 30th just needs to hurry up and get here.
