PES (Peace Eco Smile) meets IS JAPAN COOL?

ToyToyota project: PES (Peace Eco Smile) Concept
Human evolution is represented by the history of mobility. Cars bring our mobility to life, and yet all too often, everyone talks about the complicated technological aspects of automobiles rather than just the joy of mobility. TOYOTA has discovered the «TOY» in its own corporate name as the origin of lively and cheerful joy. Then, as part of ToyToyota projects aimed at spreading the joy of mobility, TOYOTA and STUDIO4C, a leading Japanese animation studio, have together created an animation series, PES (Peace Eco Smile), following a curious alien exploring the joy of driving and the importance of safety.
In 2013, TMSM started a new collaboration project, «NEXT GENERATION – PES (Peace Eco Smile) – CROSS COLLABORATION,» to communicate its message globally through producing a full animation film with leading directors and various kinds of collaborations in organic connections with other people, things, and places.
Can we together create «the future that everyone wants» to change ideas about mass consumption and economic efficiency today?
The energy to do this is actually inside human hearts. The source for putting it in motion is music and this is why PES is making music videos along with a new animation film.
The power of anime and music can cross over barriers of language and nation, creating understanding between diverse cultures and civilizations, giving us courage and healing. It is the energy of miracles.
PES(Peace Eco Smile) is this new energy, wishing to be the path towards a future we can create at any time.
