Question from Readers:
Can you accept either Shohei Ohtani or Mana Ashida if they have a lot of commercials?
Considering the Commercial Presence of Shohei Ohtani and Mana Ashida
Recently, an interesting topic came up during a conversation with friends: whether one could tolerate either Shohei Ohtani or Mana Ashida having a large number of commercials. Honestly, at first, I thought,
“Why are we even discussing this?” But upon reflection, I realized it’s surprisingly deep.
The Commercial Landscape of Shohei Ohtani
Shohei Ohtani indeed has a significant presence in commercials. He’s featured in the news almost daily, and as someone not particularly interested in sports news, I sometimes find myself thinking, “Not another Ohtani commercial.” Especially when a news program discusses him and then transitions straight into a commercial, I can’t help but chuckle and think, “Is this what they call Ohtani harassment?” While his achievements are remarkable, I do find the sheer number of commercials a bit overwhelming.
The Charm of Mana Ashida
On the other hand, I don’t mind Mana Ashida’s commercials as much. Since she works as an actress, it feels natural for her to appear in commercials. There are mixed opinions about her acting, but I genuinely appreciate her cuteness and dedication. Watching her grow up from childhood evokes a sense of familiarity. Sometimes, her commercials even bring a smile to my face.
Confronting My Own Emotions
This discussion made me reflect on what triggers my emotions and how they influence my perceptions. My feeling that Ohtani has too many commercials may stem more from a distrust of media usage rather than from a lack of support for him. Conversely, it seems that I accept Mana Ashida’s commercials due to a sense of watching her growth. I believe it’s important to consider what we feel and think through various commercials and media. Taking the time to ponder such topics can be valuable. What do you think? I’d love to hear your opinions and experiences in the comments. What commercials have left a lasting impression on you, or which of the two do you prefer?
