Akai Kitsune Midori no Tanuki Web CM: Hitori no Yoru to Akamidori
Web advertisements for Maruchan's Akai Kitsune & Midori no Tanuki brand instant noodles. Episode 1: Ouchi Drama-hen (おうちドラマ編) I feel relieved when the “dashi” tastes good. A cold winter night. Alone at home, the drama reaches its climax. Episode 2: Houkago Sensei-hen (放課後先生編) I feel relieved when the “dashi” tastes good. It is snowing in midwinter, after school at a certain school.
