Japan Airlines

Fly Away 1 1988 Japan

In this video combining slow motion and time-lapse, ground staff prepare a Boeing 747 for departure. At the end you can see some of them waving at the departing flight, in a typically Japanese tradition! The song in the background is a version of "Boku no ude no naka de" (In my arms) by Kiyotaka Sugiyama. The lyrics of this love song were changed to say things like: "Fly away to a new world, spread your wings, and search for your dreams in the sky". With the help of Grant, a fellow YouTuber, the author took the liberty of adding English subtitles.

Fly Away 2 1988 Japan

Under the same song from the previous commercial, three JAL flight attendants "full of vigor" sport their new 1988 uniforms in style and grace around an airport and a Boeing 747 cabin. With the help of Grant, a fellow YouTuber, the author took the liberty of adding English subtitles.
