Toyota’s promotional video “G’s Baseball Party” is getting attention both within and outside of Japan. The video was filmed in downtown in Kitakyushu City. It has already been watched more than 4 million times, and featured on the MLB website. As “G’s button” emerges, the town changes into a huge baseball field and people start playing a super exciting game of street baseball. The commercial was shot between the end of February to the beginning of March with a support of the city. Kan Eguchi, an artist based in Fukuoka City, who created a promotional video for 2020 Tokyo Olympic, directed this unique and spectacular video. Together with 100 of local extras, Warren Cromartie, a retired American baseball player known for his career with Yomiuri Giants, can also be seen in the video.
