Apple has shared a new ad to its Japanese YouTube channel, with the whole thing showing different Apple products in some of the country's most popular anime shows.

I'm not down with the anime kids, but Cult of Mac assures me that the ad includes "scenes from shows like Mr. Osomatsu, NEW GAME!!, your name., Weathering with You and more".

Beyond the Mac, new stories are born one after another. A story that is not yet in this world. Come on, you too.

I haven't got a clue what the music is, or what the words are, but now it's stuck in my head and I think I might need to start learning Japanese.

At iMore, Oliver is involved in daily news coverage and, not being short of opinions, has been known to 'explain' those thoughts in more detail, too.

Having grown up using PCs and spending far too much money on graphics card and flashy RAM, Oliver switched to the Mac with a G5 iMac and hasn't looked back. Since then he's seen the growth of the smartphone world, backed by iPhone, and new product categories come and go. Current expertise includes iOS, macOS, streaming services, and pretty much anything that has a battery or plugs into a wall. Oliver also covers mobile gaming for iMore, with Apple Arcade a particular focus. He's been gaming since the Atari 2600 days and still struggles to comprehend the fact he can play console quality titles on his pocket computer.
