Sena Nakajima Stars in Summer Pocari Sweat CM | A Youthful Tale With Kiwi Viewers

Sena Nakajima returns in the latest Pocari Sweat summer commercial, delivering a visually striking and emotionally charged portrayal of youthful determination and inner struggle. Set against sweeping landscapes and drenched in golden light, the ad captures the fleeting intensity of adolescence—something that connects deeply with Kiwi youth culture and Aotearoa’s own love of emotional storytelling.

Much like New Zealand’s tradition of coming-of-age films and raw, authentic advertising, this Japanese commercial blends cinematic imagery, heartfelt conflict, and sports-driven metaphor—making it relatable for high school students in Christchurch, young creatives in Wellington, and anyone in NZ who remembers the tension between expectation and self-discovery.

The ad also mirrors New Zealand’s advertising trend toward emotional branding and narrative-driven storytelling, much like local campaigns by Allbirds, NZ Post, or Air New Zealand. It’s more than a drink commercial—it’s a moment of clarity, a cinematic pause in the chaos of growing up.

For Kiwi fans of Japanese culture, youth-focused storytelling, and beautifully shot campaigns, this is a moving piece that speaks across borders—with refreshing authenticity.
