Notes: Ringo appeared in a series of television commercials for a new brand of leisure suits called Simple Life from Japanese
clothing manufacturer Renown. The rather bizarre ads, complete with donkey and spaceship, were eventually aired only in Japan between March 1976 - early 1977.

The ads were filmed throughout October in Kyoto (over 5 days) and then around Los Angeles with at least the "spaceship" ad being
filmed at Rancho Park in West Los Angeles in late October at the local golf course.

The commercials also come with a specially recorded song (also recorded in LA in late October 1975) that feature vocals by
Ringo, Harry Nilsson and ex-Monkee Davy Jones.This version features a spaceship which is carry Ringo to deliver his message.
