Nostalgic 2000s commercials: Revisiting unforgettable ads (101–110)
GSK Consumer Healthcare Japan K.K. Contac 600 SRShofukutei Shohei
This is a Contac commercial featuring the memorable original character Mr.
CONTAC, who speaks in Kansai dialect.
Mr.
CONTAC was voiced by Shohei Shofukutei, and many people loved the approachable vibe and humor he brought to the role.
When Shohei Shofukutei passed away, a memorial commercial was aired, underscoring how this was one of the commercials that represented his career.
Amino SupplementAminonjer: Giraffe Ranger Squad
The Amino Suppli commercial that was a complete parody of Sentai heroes like Gorenger is really nostalgic too.
Around 2000, it felt like loads of “health-conscious beverages” started hitting the market—things with fiber or amino acids, which are now totally commonplace.
What’s funny about this ad is that the red hero, who seems to be the team leader, is the only one who’s really overweight.
If social media had been around back then, it would’ve gone even more viral.
The background music also sounds just like a Sentai theme song, and it’ll definitely grow on you.
If you haven’t heard it, give it a listen!
Recruit Zexy 2006Kana Kurashina
The TV commercials for the wedding magazine Zexy are among the most representative of the Heisei era, aren’t they? Among them, many people likely remember this particular commercial featuring Kana Kurashina, who served as the fourth “Zexy Girl.” The background music was Kazuyoshi Saito’s “Wedding Song,” which is also memorable to many.
The song was originally composed as a short piece specifically for the commercial, but due to the strong response after it aired, the rest was written and it was released as a CD—so the story goes.
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.
Coca-Cola Aquarius “Shinji Ono of the Netherlands” VersionShinji Ono
It’s a commercial that portrays Shinji Ono facing off against a variety of soccer-loving people, expressing the pure fun of the sport.
While the smiles on everyone’s faces clearly convey how enjoyable soccer is, it also gets across the message that staying hydrated is important to focus and have even more fun.
What further highlights the dynamism, joy, and refreshing atmosphere of the footage is The High-Lows’ “Natsu Nandana.” Their trademark powerful band sound rings out, conveying a headlong energy, as if sprinting through the present at full tilt.
