'Beat' Takeshi Kitano Canon MC Commercial (Japan, 1984)
Originally posted on our Instagram @thirdculture
Such a great commercial for such an underrated camera, the Canon MC. It was never as popular as the (technically and visually) similar, Olympus XA but personally, I prefer the Canon MC.
Maybe it's because the commercials starred 'Beat' Takeshi Kitano, shooting vintage Americana signage in Key West, Florida.
Or maybe it was because the music featured was by cult synth-pop artist, Takumi Iwasaki.
The Japanese slogan at the end roughly translates into English as, 'Tiny Tiny Sketchbook'.
What do you guys think of the commercial? And has anyone used the Canon MC before?
Here's the Takumi Iwasaki song as well in case you want to listen to an extended version.
