TOYOTA “The Best of Both: PHEV” Version

[E TOYOTA] TV commercial: 'Best-of-both-worlds PHEV' edition

This piece, depicting a conversation between the Crown PHEV—which can run on both electricity and gasoline—and a mascot character shaped like the letter E, is the “E-tokodori PHEV” segment.

When the Crown speaks hesitantly, saying, “I’m neither here nor there—electricity or gasoline…,” the mascot praises it: “You’re amazing—you’re a two-way player!” That prompts the Crown to get more fired up than expected, declaring, “I’m a bundle of appeal, the hope of the EV world!” The humorous turn, along with their cute exchange, makes you want to see a sequel.

Iris Ohyama Chef Drum “Doubtful Girlfriend” VersionRyo Yoshizawa, Eri Murakawa

Ryo Yoshizawa: Chef Drum - Doubtful Girlfriend Version (30 seconds)

This is a series of commercials in which Shojiki Kaname, played by Ryo Yoshizawa, is suspected of cheating by his girlfriend, played by Eri Murakawa.

Iris Ohyama’s commercials often feature humorous direction, and this time the trigger for the suspicion is, surprisingly, an Iris Ohyama product.

Shojiki Kaname, who hadn’t really cooked before, buys the Chef Drum, which leads to him being suspected.

Murakawa’s convincingly scary portrayal of the girlfriend is outstanding, and all eyes are on Kaname as he’s relentlessly pressed.

Kentucky Fried Chicken Winter Original Chicken “It has to be KFC” Version

Winter Original Chicken “It has to be Kentucky” Edition | KFC

This commercial, featuring a male employee as the protagonist, is themed around a company year-end party.

The man had decided to himself, “I’m having KFC tonight,” but a year-end party was suddenly scheduled for that day.

He agonized over whether to attend until the last minute, but in the end he ran off saying, “I can’t today!” and ate KFC at home.

Many people can probably relate to that feeling when, once you’ve decided on KFC, nothing else will do.
