Brief Explanation

Men from different parts of the world coming together while singing boldly with aggression getting ready for the WAR. Film creates a momentum that motivates people to want to participate in the GAME OF WAR.

Creative Execution

Adopted music used in this film WOW WAR TONIGHT is originally a #1 hit song from 1995, and #17 in all time Japanese CD sales with 2.1 million copies sold. Literally EVERYONE knows the song. However, it was never allowed to be used in advertising until this film, thus It was an EPOCH-MAKING ADAPTATION. Usage of WOW WAR TONIGHT was very relevant, since the main lyric of the song is "WOW WOW WAR, WOW WAR TONIGHT" which imprints new app title "GAME OF WAR".
