Nostalgic 2000s commercials: Revisiting unforgettable ads (101–110)
Nissan Note “Parent and Child Car Wash” EditionTakamitsu Kuramoto
Even with little kids, the whole family heads to music festivals and enjoys the outdoors…
The 2007 NISSAN NOTE commercial seemed to reflect that stylish image of a free, new kind of family.
Covered in fluffy soap suds, they wash the car, dance, and play with pure joy—capturing the NOTE’s flexible usability.
The CM song by the hip-hop duo Spontania was light and bouncy, making your heart skip with the rhythm; it was the kind of ad whose energetic vibe felt contagious!
Shiseido PNSae Isshiki
This is a Shiseido PN commercial that aired around 2000, featuring Sae Isshiki.
For the background music, they used “NEO UNIVERSE” by the rock band L’Arc~en~Ciel, who were already enormously popular at the time.
The song, released in 2000 as their 19th single, is characterized by its programmed electronic sound and a bright, catchy melody line that sticks in your head after just one listen.
The chorus section used in the commercial is particularly memorable, and I imagine there are quite a few people who recognize at least that part.
Coca-Cola Aquarius “Blue Monster: Matsuzaka” Version
In this commercial, Daisuke Matsuzaka appears in animation as an Aquarius Hero, depicting in a unique world view the idea that hydration gives you power.
The visuals are animated to boldly express baseball, and by featuring Aquarius amid the heat and momentum, they highlight the drink’s refreshing quality.
Further emphasizing the boldness and fun vibe of the footage is Unicorn’s song “WAO!” Its sound and vocals convey a buoyant, light, and playful feel while clearly delivering positive emotions.
Toyota Corolla Fielder
In this commercial for the Corolla Fielder, which features a boy co-starring with Ken Hirai, the boy hums Hirai’s song “Omoi ga Kasanaru Sono Mae ni,” and then Hirai appears.
After they get in a car together and change locations, Hirai continues singing the song—an impressively dramatic development.
Even now, it’s a wonderful commercial that moves the heart.
KINCHO Tansu ni Gon Gon
Kinchō is known for its highly impactful commercials, and among them, the “Tansu ni Gon” series really stands out for its quirky style—many of you probably remember it, right? Actress Yasuko Sawaguchi threw herself into an impressively wide range of eccentric roles, and she nailed them all (lol).
The Kansai dialect suited her perfectly, and every spot had that little moment that made you chuckle.
They were all the kind of commercials that made you think, “She really is a great actress.” It’s a series packed with nostalgia—one after another you’ll go, “I remember this one! Oh, this one too!”
Nostalgic commercials from the 2000s. Looking back at memorable ads (111–120)
KIRIN Tanrei Green Label
The KIRIN Tanrei Green Label commercial, famous for the catchphrase “It’s fine, it’s green!”, features Ken Shimura showing off his comedic expressions.
While a group of men in colorful outfits are playing baseball, the ball they hit flies toward someone’s house and breaks a window or something.
When they honestly go to apologize, Ken Shimura appears as the homeowner.
For a moment it seems like he’s angry, but he immediately switches to a funny expression, holds up a Green Label, and says, “It’s fine.” Taking that as their cue, everyone shouts, “It’s green!” and they all happily drink Green Label together.
Aflac: Aoi Miyazaki × Manekineko Duck
Aflac’s commercials featuring the Aflac Duck have had many different versions and actresses over the years, but do you remember Aoi Miyazaki, who appeared in the ads starting in 2006? Her image was so strong and memorable.
She did a lot of commercials with a clear, natural vibe, and the CM song “Ahiru no Waltz” brings back a ton of nostalgia too, doesn’t it? And the Maneki-neko Duck that combined a beckoning cat with the duck is nostalgic as well!
