Yuki Kaji, Maaya Uchida Star as 'Energy Farmers' in Osaka Gas Anime Short
posted on by Ken Iikura-Gross
For many homeowners and renters, utility bills are a great concern. We want our indoor climates comfortable, our water hot, and our lights working. But sometimes we forgo understanding what goes into keeping our utility bills down. One method is the implementation of residential fuel cells, or converting gas energy into electrical energy while still using gas for heating in homes and other residences. However, in Japan, this technology is not widely adopted. To help spread the adoption of residential fuel cells, Osaka Gas has released a new anime commercial featuring Yūki Kaji and Maaya Uchida.
The commercial was announced on the Osaka Gas X (formerly Twitter) account and posted on the Osaka Gas YouTube channel on April 9. It features Kaji as the character Dice and Uchida as Emma. Both characters are employees in the Osaka Gas ENE-FARM residential fuel cell generator with Emma being a new employee and Dice her trainer.

The short story follows Emma on her first day of work and begins with her reciting to Dice what the ENE-FARM system is. Following this, a typhoon hits the residence the system is hooked up to and Emma and Dice must help their fellow employees get the fuel cell generator running. It's a fun little story that explains the ENE-FARM system. Of course, as a commercial it's still trying to sell you the ENE-FARM system. But at least it's fun.
