Nivea-Kao Co., Ltd. (President: Masato Matsubayashi) has released a video of mothers and their grown-up children titled "Mother's Hands Again." The release coincides with the launching of the "Thanks to your hands 2014" campaign on October 10 (Hand-in-Hand Day), celebrations of hands - both your own and those of the special people in your life.

In the video mothers and children hold hands for the first time in many years. Each daughter or son gives her or his mother a hand massage, and the feelings of gratitude are reflected in various forms of emotions such as tears welling up in their eyes.

The people in the video are real mothers and children. The movie is simple - mothers talking with their sons or daughters while receiving a hand massage - but it is sure to strike a chord with just about everyone.

We hope this campaign will revive childhood memories of holding hands with your mothers and encourage grown-up children to hold hands with their mothers once again - with the help of atrix hand cream.
