Nostalgic commercials from the 2000s: Revisiting memorable ads (51–60)
Fujifilm
The Fuji Color commercials famous for the catchphrase “Let’s capture the New Year” were a staple.
The phrase itself is nostalgic, but when it comes to Fuji Color ads, Kirin Kiki is the unmistakable icon.
The series apparently began in 1966, and Kirin Kiki started appearing in 1978.
Above all, her consistently comical performances made them so enjoyable.
In the 2000 commercials, Kayoko Kishimoto and Rena Tanaka also appeared, during the heyday of QuickSnap disposable cameras and digital cameras.
Panasonic VIERA 2003
This commercial grandly hypes just how new Panasonic’s VIERA is, building a sweeping sense of anticipation.
Its thin profile and picture quality are major selling points, conveying a thrill as if the future were drawing near.
The music that further highlights the epic yet refreshing atmosphere of the visuals is Sarah Brightman’s “Dans La Nuit.” With gently resonant piano layered with her crystal-clear vocals, the moving progression creates a majestic ambiance.
Shionogi Healthcare SEDES 2009Anju Suzuki
This commercial looks back on the history of Sedes and Shionogi Pharmaceutical in confronting pain, conveying the confidence born from that experience.
The visuals alternate between the Sedes package and people suffering from pain, and finally transition to a smiling photo to evoke a sense of reassurance.
The way Anju Suzuki explains with a smile and the variety of products also convey an attitude of standing by the user.
Coca-Cola Aquarius Vitamin Guard “Enjoy Winter” VersionSaki Aibu
This commercial conveys how the various ingredients packed into Aquarius Vitamin Guard help you get through the winter, told through scenes of Saki Aibu enjoying the season.
It clearly explains how it contributes to maintaining health, and you can feel the momentum not only in the actors’ movements but also in the on-screen text.
Emphasizing that dynamic imagery even further—and adding a refreshing touch—is the song “Uruwashiki Hito” by Ikimono-gakari.
With a band sound that’s both energetic and gentle, layered with a resounding vocal, it expresses warmth and freshness.
Nostalgic commercials from the 2000s: revisiting memorable ads (61–70)
Sompo 24 “Hanakoala’s Review Dance” Edition
Sompo 24 Non-Life Insurance was very popular thanks to its cute illustrated commercials.
Many people probably go, “Ah, that’s nostalgic!” when they hear the jingle.
Those ads had plenty of moments that made you want to chime in with comments, didn’t they? To encourage viewers to review their insurance, a group of koalas would appear.
They were adorable characters named “Hana Koala,” but here’s the shocking part: the part everyone thought was their nose would pop right off and turn into a telephone or a computer mouse.
They actually have a tiny, cute real nose underneath (lol).
Coca-Cola Aquarius 2004
This commercial uses a simple video to showcase the speed of double dutch and convey that exercise requires proper replenishment.
By pairing a stylish sport with Aquarius, it effectively communicates the technology behind Aquarius as well.
Focusing on the rapid pace of the visuals, the music that further accentuates it is “The Post” (Csikos Post), a track often heard as background music.
Its bustling, hurried melody is striking, and that lightness captures listeners’ attention.
Reve 21: “Questions for the President” VersionAkiko Wada
This is a commercial from around 2005 showing Akiko Wada interviewing the president of Reave 21.
It comprehensively introduces the causes of hair loss and highlights that Reave 21 offers countermeasures tailored to each cause.
Having the president speak directly lends the commercial a sense of credibility.
