im from NZ and to be honest us kiwis don't know how good we have got it, look at all these comments of people wanting to come here, but we'd rather go to OZ and earn an extra five bucks an hour, i've lived there too and i hated it this is home !

I can't believe that I actually live in this beautiful country. 💕💕

I love you new zealand. You made me feel alive all over again!

I think that these people, who are from New Zealand, are very - very lucky, because this place looks so happy and.. I don't have words to describe it, it's just so free and happy

The first place I ever travelled to. This literally gives me goosebumps all over. ❤️❤️❤️

Oh my god! I would love to visit New-Zealand! There are so many beautiful places and people seems to be very nice!! Greetings from France!

New Zealand is what what humanity can be when we get rid of religion, hate, and ignorance and replace them with humanism, love, and knowledge. What a beautiful song, what a great place to live.

And I am honored to have spent 9 days in this beautiful country. Forever Young!

I'm from the states and they were playing a shorter version of this commerical for a while.. I'm glad it's gone because I HATE this commerical.. it makes me miss NZ(went to south island in 2008) and the fact that I dunno when or if I'll ever get back to that amazing, awe inspiring place... there are few places I've been in the world where the urge to stay was so strong for me :)

Pause at 0:28. One day I will live somewhere similar that in nz. But on a lake. And surf and go hiking during the day without a worry in the world. By night, listen to the wildlife and watch the rugby on tv :). Thats the dream. And it will happen, dont know when, but it will

i get goosebumps everytime i hear this song with this video clip. i'm so glad i was born in such a great country. I LOVE NZ !!!

I can picture myself as one of those 3 middle age guys surfing in New Zealand in my 50's 10 years from now - very cool!

me too! especially at the part with the kids playing in the field..so beautiful

This sooooo makes me wanna visit New Zealand! The Youth Group song just adds to the greatness of this video!

Ohhhh my lord that's a piece of paradise right there. I love new Zealand.

Auzra AFG Hello, where are you from?

still the best NZ video i've seen! Miss this country so much!

I am an emotional robot and this video made me actually feel an emotion....amazing two minutes!

❤NZ home. I would love to return for good

Im Canadian and I would do anything to go see NZ!!!!!

YEAhhh.... You gota love New Zealand :).. i feel lucky to live there :)

I need this version of this song!!! NEED NEED NEED TO GO TO NZ, WANNA MOVE THERE!

I´ve ever wanted to go there! i love new zealand!! :D hope my dream come true someday! greetings from México

the best country in the world. Miss NZ

it has only been populated for around 700yrs, whereas most of the other pacific islands have been populated for over a thousand years. Europe meanwhile opened up at the end of the last ice age, which was 10,000yrs ago... so in comparision New Zealand is a very young country

awesome thanks! this is the best version of this song out there.

I first saw this back when I was 16 and obsessed with New Zealand and film so I thought this was such a great inspiring commercial, watching it more then 10 years later..is that really how many white people were in every add like damn that’s bad..what’s worse is as a white kid it wasn’t till I grew up more and started thinking about other peoples perspectives cause growing up race wasn’t a big thing we were all friends and race was just ur looks but as u start to see the unfairness of the world you start thinking about how unfair it was to not be able to see urself in the media and world you live in, it’s humbling

The band who's playing is Youth Group !

Love this Ad but I'm so over Auckland. Can't wait to explore rest of the country.

James Stonley Hi, can you write down for me what the man in the video is saying? "legends say this land was hold from the ocean like a giant fish" is this correct?

better version of forever young I loved it

I wanted it also. Searched all other for it.

i teared up..

I'm Canadian, but this video has made me want a dual citizenship with New Zealand.

I want to come to New Zealand. This video makes me emotional ha

@tatvin Forever Young is sung here by Milan Borich, lead singer of New Zealand band Pluto, recorded at Neil Finn Studios (Roundhead Studios).

100% New Zealand + Visit Scotland = awesome!

I remember watching this ad when I was a teenager, and fell in love with the beauty of the girl looking at the camera at 0:43. I wonder what happened to her?

beautiful song and ad

@nzdirectors Yeah it is. The unification of the Italian states didn't happen until 1867. Before that, Italy technically wasn't a country. NZ wasn't set up as a self-governing body until 1840.

love this ad

Yep, you downloaded the 'Youth Group' version of the song (I think they wrote it actually). Youth Group are an Australain band and although the versions sound very similar, they are in fact different. As I said, the version you hear on the ad is Milan Borich from Wellingotn band Pluto singing. Sorry to burst your bubble but you didn't buy this version ;-)

my god i wanna go there someday. im 16 and have my life ahead of me. i really would love to move and LIVE there... wow, cant wait. im spossed to vacation there or austrailia with my fam during the summer.... idk what summer tho :/

Pluto - Forever young

@oryandh was not recorded for commercial release but rather for this promotion video only

ok. will do. my limewire isn't working at the moment for some reason...but i'm still looking!!=D i'm mad at iTunes for not having it. lol so if you can find it, let me know. =]

Forever Young...

Forever Young by Pluto :)

Edit: The original was written by 'Alphaville' apparently,a German Synthgroup. Their version is also available on iTunes although I wouldn't recommend it... sounds a bit over dramatic imo..

I love this :D

This song was produced exclusively for the NZ tourism board by Weta Digital (the company behind the Lord Of The Rings spfx). The song is sung by the singer from Wellington NZ band 'Pluto'. It was never - nor will it ever - be available on commercial release by request of NZTB. I know this becase I was working for Weta at the time it was produced. And no, you can;t get it on iTunes! Hope that clarifys for all!

I love, how Pluto sings this song. I think this version is much better than Alphaville's:)

@nzdirectors The region was populated yes, but that doesn't make it a country with any sense of unified identity or boundaries. Provinces (many of which are now governed by France) were constantly fighting over who owned what, which is why the reformation happened in the first place. Anyway, history isn't necessarily defined by people. That's like saying NZ had no history before humans arrived. I think the ad is referencing that, like many Pacific countries, it rose out of the sea not long ago.

im going to aus this summer but i wish i was going to NZ aswell coz i think i will live in either AU or NZ later in my life

The people aren't cold and that's the important thing...

EPIC!!!

if you love this song find songr to download it (or the part of it that's in the video)

I live in NZ, Its nice but so so cold...

I want to go to NZ sooooo bad

Fantazy Adventure

Here's where I'm going about three years from now. :))))))))

so hard to be a pure kiwi. it was just discovered yesterday lol

Technically Italy is a younger country than New Zealand.

That time l got paid to Drop in on Tui & claim it

@nzdirectors Dude, I'm not the one using metaphors. There was no such thing as Italy when NZ was discovered, read a book for Christ's sake. They were a collection of fiercely independent states, much like the Balkan and Soviet nations are nowt. Anyway, I don't really care if you agree or not. The only reason I made the comment in the first place was because I found the phrase "youngest country on earth" a little ambiguous. Thank you for helping me prove my point.

@nzdirectors You become Canadian and I become a New Zealander? Sounds like a great idea, let's give it a go! Why do you want to be Canadian?

You can't get a commercial copy of the song... did you read my last comment before you posted? It was never released! This song has only been heard by the public on this ad. Everyone got it? You can't get it!!! Unless you know someone who works at weta digital and who doesn't want to work there anymore.... if you know what I mean ;)

I saw this at my english class

wait for me!

Hey everyone, When I'm done with Business School in 2012, I'm gonna be moving to NZ.. But when can you apply for a Visa? I seriously doubt you can do it 3 years in advance, but could anyone please help?

New Zealand + Scotland = Dunedin :D

Does anyone have a link or something to the Pluto cover of this song? i LOVE it!

@yellowcard67 no, its really not

I respect your right to your own opinion. I predicted you would say what you did to. It still makes absolutely no sense whatsoever though. Genocide is something that creates misery for hundreds of years after the fact for descendants of the victims and inherited privilege for the murderer's descendants. The past effects the present. Hard to move on when people try to sweep it under the rug as you want. Your argument is beyond weak and you know it.

The song is 'ade by imagin dragons

+Violet J V The "haka" is a battle / war dance for Maori Warriors who are normally men, that's why. However women do participate too in the dances...

this version of the song has been withheld from us, because new zealand is a selfish bastard. :D but seriously, you can't get it.

Just one tiny thing - you can honestly not be serious about promoting NZ as the youngest country on Earth?

PetitJeReve in nz history we were the last country to be discovered and settled by humans fact. Which why Tourism New Zealand did this campaign ad

Where the ALL BLACKS

Ummm.... I think you need learn a bit more geography- aborigines? You don't seem to realise that New Zealand and Australia are completely different countries with their own seperate history and indigenous groups. I mean for starters most of the kiwis in this add are portrayed as maori or part maori. The "pretty white people" are clearly the tourists visiting the country. Also I would suggest reading up on NZ race relations history (not australian) before making anymore uninformed comments

I am sick and tired of New Zealand. It's not really a great place. Just like any other place. Who wants to trade places????

Corny.
