Nostalgic commercials from the 2000s: revisiting memorable ads (61–70)
Leave 21 2006 TV commercialAkiko Wada, Shinsuke Shimada
In this commercial that aired around 2006, Akiko Wada and Shinsuke Shimada are shown recording a radio program.
In their conversation, they discuss the high effectiveness of Reeve 21 and the reasons behind it, and because it’s introduced through a natural dialogue, the message is conveyed clearly.
Coca-Cola Aquarius Freestyle ‘Beach’ Version
This commercial portrays leisure and sports by the seaside, conveying that AQUARIUS Freestyle supports hydration in those moments.
It emphasizes that even when you’re moving in the water, you still sweat, so it’s important to replenish not only fluids but also nutrients.
Enhancing the cheerful, refreshing feel of the visuals is the song “Ashita ni Kakaruhashi” by Remioromen.
The band’s sound, which evokes freshness and momentum, is striking and helps convey the lively, fun atmosphere.
au Chaku-Uta Full
These days, listening to music on a smartphone is a given, but back then the idea of listening to music on a mobile phone was groundbreaking—if not the very beginning of it all.
This is the 2004 au commercial for “Chaku-Uta Full,” the “Flower” version.
What left an impression was how beautiful and pure-looking Yukie Nakama was, listening to music with headphones on, holding a mobile phone amid a field of flowers.
The song used in the commercial was ORANGE RANGE’s ‘Hana.’
Cocos
When you think of commercials for the family restaurant COCO’S, many people probably picture Doraemon.
The commercials date back to the era when Nobuyo Oyama voiced Doraemon, and even after the voice actor changed in 2005 to Wasabi Mizuta, Doraemon continued to be the main character enlivening the ads up through March 2019.
Although quite a few years have passed since the voice actor change, many people still find the commercials from Nobuyo Oyama’s era particularly memorable.
Yamaha Music School
This is a commercial for Yamaha Music School.
When you hear “music school,” you might tend to think it’s for children, but in fact there are classes and lessons for adults, too.
Still, the impression of this commercial is so strong that many of us automatically think “music school = for kids!” (laughs).
The catchy jingle sung by the children—the one you can’t help humming along to—actually isn’t a nonsense tune; it has a proper original song.
It’s a German folk song called “Ikeno Ame,” and it’s also sung in the opera Hansel and Gretel.
Ajinomoto Gohan ga Susumu-kun
Ajinomoto’s “Gohan ga Susumu-kun” series, launched in 1999, was developed with the concept of ingredient-included/ingredient-attached seasoning mixes that let you easily make everyday side dishes as long as you have common ingredients on hand.
The lineup focuses mainly on Chinese-style dishes that pair perfectly with rice—just the kind of flavors that make you want to dig in.
Many people likely remember eating them as children.
Seeing Susumu-kun’s illustration and hearing the march-inspired jingle really makes you feel like chowing down.
Kirin Beer Tanrei Green Label 2003
From the scenes of a race where participants compete in speed while giving piggyback rides, it conveys a sense of freshness and fun.
The fact that Green Label has 70% less sugar is clearly highlighted by the physiques of the men striving in the competition.
Because of their builds, the race progresses at a leisurely pace, which also gives the video a relaxed atmosphere.
