To promote the Type S line of cars, Acura released 4 anime-style commercials called ‘Chiaki’s Journey‘.
A young racer, Chiaki is guided by her wise uncle Noboru. Emotions run high as Chiaki battles her nemesis at Long Beach racetrack. Uncle Noboru mentors Chiaki to ” …master both power and precision… ” when her family legacy is put on the line during the big race.
The commercials ran early in 2022, and premiered at the Sundance Film Festival (also sponsored by Acura, just like this weekend’s Long Beach Grand Prix).
