Nostalgic commercials from the 2000s: Revisiting the ads that left a mark (31–40)
Tu-Ka CellularAyumi Hamasaki
You simply can’t talk about Heisei-era culture without mentioning Ayumi Hamasaki.
The number of hits she produced, her fashion—her influence on the youth of the time was absolutely immense.
What we’re featuring here is a now-defunct Tu-Ka mobile phone commercial, where Ayu stands out wearing a coat that matches the flashy leopard-print phone she herself designed.
The song playing in the CM is her massive hit “M.” Everything about it is pure Heisei culture, saturated with the vibe of the early 2000s—so much so that anyone who spent their youth in that era might be moved to tears by the nostalgia.
Shiseido TisseraAya Matsuura
Since its launch in 1995 and up until the product’s hiatus in 2006, Shiseido’s haircare brand Tsubaki “T’cera” featured the trendiest artists of the time in its commercials, capturing the hearts of teens.
It’s no exaggeration to say that T’cera itself is one of the symbols of Heisei-era culture, and the artists who appeared in its commercials were truly icons of that era as well.
This time, let’s take a look at a commercial starring Aya Matsuura, a quintessential 2000s idol.
As her hit song “Nee” plays, we hope you’ll remember those days when we all admired the irresistibly cute double-Aya look!

By showing humorous moments—like voting on the menu or waiting with a bowl of rice for the main dish—it conveys the idea of deliciousness that accompanies happiness.
The music further amplifying those positive emotions depicted on screen is “Pomp and Circumstance.” Its expansive, powerful arrangement is striking, and you can sense a bright atmosphere and forward-looking emotions from the sound.
Panasonic VIERA 2008Light snow
This commercial highlights that VIERA was selected as the official high-definition television for the Beijing Olympics, conveying the passion for continuous evolution behind that choice.
Just as Olympic athletes strive for greater heights, VIERA also pursued the ideal television, powerfully asserting this by interweaving the message with footage of athletic events.
Further amplifying the grandeur of the visuals is Sarah Brightman’s song “Running.” Her powerfully resonant voice is a major draw, and its beauty evokes a sense of hope for the future.

The expressions of the people who actually used it and felt the effects are bright, and it’s striking how confidently they speak.

The Georgia coffee commercials featured an impressive lineup including Downtown, Cocorico, and London Boots No.1 and No.2.
Looking back, it was a really star-studded series of ads—Yukie Nakama appeared as well.

There are so many spots, and they’re all so nostalgic that you end up wanting to watch every single one.
Cecile 2003 commercial
This is a corporate commercial from Cecile that aired in 2003.
It’s a conceptual ad composed of various visuals accompanied by four words: love, dream, emotion, and departure into a new world.
