The message of the brand or the benefit of using the product should be easily understood.

You have no idea about Japanese commercials.
I was in Japan last July and there was this advertisement going on, showing people literally facing off with one another. There was also a scene of two elderly men playing chess. And as the commercial progressed, all their 'fights' got more intense and dramatic (in a Japanese way) and then it ended off with an app promotion (I think Clash of Clans?). I was literally stunned and how random they can possibly be.

Ayu's CM at least even bothers using her as a figure of a Queen LOL

Lol well at least the cm you are referring to communicates that Clash of Clans (or whatever) is a game that involves intense skill, and being on the edge of your seat while trying to anticipate your opponents next move so you can outwit them (like chess).
