Just a couple of weeks left to the big release for Disney Lorcana in Japan, and they are going off with a localised commercial filled with Japanese puns!
The Japanese Disney Lorcana YouTube channel just updated a new commercial, check it out here!
There are 2 variations to the commercial, with a 30 second version and a shorted 15 second version.
Sharp eared Illumineers will notice that the commercial is filled with the phrase “kana?”, which in Japanese can be added on to phrases / sentences to loosely mean “I wonder?”. Throughout the commercial, the 2 actors ask lots of questions such as “I wonder if it is here?”, “I wonder if it is a rare card?”, I wonder if it is from the movie?”. All the lines are of course Japanese puns, referring to the name of the game, Lorcana!
Side note: I guess that also means Lorcana in the Japanese context can be Lore-kana, to mean “I wonder about the lore?”
Overall a very fun wordplay and cute Japanese style commercial and great for introducing Disney Lorcana to the Japan audience.
In addition, there are some videos such as a behind the scenes video and an interview of the 2 actors that you can check out on the Japanese Lorcana YouTube channel if you are interested.
Other campaigns have also started for Japan’s Disney Lorcana launch!
