On September 22, 2026, a post on China's social media Xiaohongshu (RED) introducing Haneda Airport's ad copy as genius became a hot topic among Chinese netizens. The poster stated, 'I can't stop laughing,' and then introduced two TimeTree ad posters, a schedule management app, placed side-by-side at the exit of Keikyu Station in Haneda Airport Terminal 1, which read: 'I told you, didn't I? I said Narita, not Haneda, didn't I?' 'I told you, didn't I? I said Terminal 2, not Terminal 1, didn't I?' The poster added, 'I can't help but wonder if there are corresponding versions of the ads at Narita Airport and Haneda Airport Terminal 2.' In response, Chinese netizens commented with praise for the humor, such as 'Laughed,' 'The idea is too funny (lol),' and 'What! I didn't notice such a funny ad when I went there before!' and comments that the ad really hits home for those who made a mistake, like 'If I had mistaken the airport and saw this ad, I would genuinely have a mental breakdown,' and 'If someone who was supposed to depart from Narita but came to Haneda saw this, they would be completely heartbroken. But I think it's good because it serves as a warning.' Furthermore, not a few people recalled bitter experiences of mistaking airports, saying things like, 'I can never remember which 'ta' (田) is closer to the city center and which is farther,' 'I've messed up once. To catch my flight, I paid about 30,000 yen just for a taxi fare and somehow managed to board,' and 'Me too! I sprinted to the taxi drop-off point, shouting 'Narita! Narita!' and the driver took me even though it was a drop-off point.' In addition, voices about the app also emerged, such as 'TimeTree is really convenient, isn't it?' 'This app is super easy to use. I've been using it for 5 years,' and 'I was looking at it, thinking, 'What a cute and funny ad,' and it turned out to be an ad for TimeTree, which I've been using for 5 years. Laughed.'
