Featuring an FJ Cruiser and Prius c, they reference the long-running, anime program, Doraemon. They all focus on the theme of if you are a guy without a car, you cannot get a girl.
Jean Reno plays the title role of the blue, robotic cat who is always helping his friend, Nobita. Nobita who is somewhat shy and nerdy is drawn to a Prius C, which attracts the unwanted girl, Jaiko.
