Yeah! Meccha Holiday / Yeah！めっちゃホリディ

Yeah! Meccha Holiday / Yeah！めっちゃホリディ: “Yeah! Super Holiday”

meccha / めっちゃ

“super”, “very”, “extremely” (slang, Kansai dialect)

horidi / ホリディ

“holiday” (rare spelling)

It seems Oku Hanako isn’t quite done with her activities yet and apparently neither am I.

Oku Hanako has sung in many commercials in the past. She was most recently featured singing a cover of “Yeah! Meccha Holiday” in a new Web video ad for New Pokémon Snap for Nintendo Switch. The song was originally sung by Matsuura Aya. The commercial is called Mitsuketa, Natsu no Hitoyasumi / 見つけた、夏のひとやすみ (“I caught a summer moment’s rest”; it’s unclear to me whether it’s a break from summer or whether summer is a description of the break, but I went with the latter).

【公式】『New ポケモンスナップ』Web CM “見つけた、夏のひとやすみ”篇（ロングバージョン） by ポケモン公式YouTubeチャンネル [YouTube]

The song really adds to the atmosphere of the commercial. I haven’t played the game nor the original myself, but the commercial presents the game as something like a fun outdoors excursion while on vacation. It’s something to take your time with, something to relax and enjoy on your off time, and the girl in the commercial certainly seems to be doing so.

Does this make you want to play the game now? I’ll admit, her involvement in the Cafe Restaurant Gusto commercials has made me want to eat at one if I ever get the chance to. This commercial doesn’t really make me want to play the game, but it does make me a little more willing to watch gameplay from certain YouTubers I follow who played it a few months ago. I guess that means the commercial worked!

Translation

Yeah! Super holiday
Giddy hopes for summer
Yeah! Summer comes in with a bang
I wanna love in high spirits

Gonna get an early start on the times
and open up a fashon magazine.
Wow! Wow! Wow!
Wow! What a swimsuit!
Wow! Wow! Wow!
Wow! What a style!

There are times
when I get sentimental
But I’ll do it, one way or another!
love @ dream dot dot slash

Yeah! Super holiday
Giddy hopes for summer
Yeah! Summer comes in with a bang
I wanna love in high spirits

Yeah! Super holiday
Straining my courage
Yeah! Summer comes in with a bang
I wanna cheer on
a new me
Love in high spirits!
