The opening scene depicts the dark alley with a couple of streetlights and a row of buildings on both sides. With sharp zoom-in and pan-left, a fortune-teller in black hood and coat shows up in medium shot. A lamp shining brightly and a crystal ball on the stand are also framed. Along with the close-up of the crystal ball, he begins a crystal gazing. In those days, an animation would have been an efficient way to describe what the fortune-teller watches inside the crystal ball, compared with a composite of a live action. In the latter part of this TV ad, an illustration of a bream pops out from the label of a tin, and it changes its shape elastically. These portrayals are unique as they seem to be associated with a magic rather than a fortune-telling.
