Do it again - the final installment & the new campaign




This was the last of the Please do it again manners series on the train.

Despite the rumours of tremendous civility in Japan, it appears manners have yet to be conquered, as the new campaign attests.   The new series uses dogs and the slogan "I've seen a person like this" / "I have seen this person".  I  missed the first one, not realizing it was a manners campaign - it's not unusual for me to miss the point of ads here - even Hiro sometimes has no idea what ads are for...
The message is tailored to the season in this case - rainy season - have you seen a person who gets onto a train and shakes water everywhere?   The message at the bottom "Please be careful that your umbrella doesn't drip onto others."  Indeed.
