Mr.

JR East View Card “Gold Card” VersionHidekazu Majima, Anna Yamada

Gold Card - 15 seconds

This commercial, which begins with the line “Adults need breathing room,” is JR East’s View Card commercial, the “Gold Card” version.

It promotes how the View Card Gold lets you earn lots of points when booking Green Car seats or Shinkansen tickets.

However, the man who declared “Adults need…” at the beginning ends up getting so carried away by the great deals that he bursts into triumphant laughter.

It’s a memorable ad with humor and a dynamic sense of pacing.

Uber Eats: “If you want to take it easy, isn’t Uber Eats the way to go? Squirrel” / “Even in allergy season, isn’t Uber Eats the way to go? Pollen”Riisa Naka, Akinori Nakao

If you want to take it easy and enjoy, why not go with Uber Eats? Squirrel Edition | Uber Eats

Even during allergy season, why not go with Uber Eats? Pollen Edition | Uber Eats

These commercials depict extreme scenarios that show how you can enjoy meals without risking going outside by using Uber Eats.

In the “Squirrels” segment, diners are attacked by squirrels when eating out, and in the “Pollen” segment, a sneeze triggered by pollen sets off a chain of various troubles.

The contrast between these comically large mishaps and the safety of dining at home highlights the convenience of Uber Eats.

The bewildered expressions of Riisa Naka and Akiyoshi Nakao also help underscore the fun of the visuals.

Aiful “CG Landlady” VersionMao Daichi, Hiroki Konno

Aiful 'CG Landlady' TV Commercial [Official]

As Konno, who’s browsing livestreams, stumbles upon a show called “Okami Channel,” the vocabulary used there leads to the realization that it’s actually the Okami-san.

It’s harder to notice because it’s a CG character, but once the classic phrase “Is there love in that?” pops up, the true identity becomes obvious.

Precisely because the Okami-san usually has such a strong, dignified presence, seeing her throwing herself into a character performance is disorienting.

The flow of an ordinary livestream-watching moment being interrupted by a very different side of the Okami-san heightens the comedic feel.

Aiful: “Use Money Wisely” VersionMao Daichi, Hiroki Konno

AIFUL “Use Money Wisely” Version A TV Commercial [Official]

AIFUL “Use Money Wisely” Version B TV Commercial [Official]

In the series of AIFUL commercials where Mao Daichi plays the inn proprietress appearing in various guises, this time she takes on the look of a 1970s folk singer and performs a solo acoustic set.

The lyrics are the highlight: the surreal twist is that she sings the utterly obvious line, “Money, you know—when you spend it, it goes down.” Two versions, A and B, with different lyrics have been released, so be sure to listen to both and compare them.

Aiful “Beautiful Woman of Artistic Swimming” VersionMao Daichi, Hiroki Konno

AIFUL “Beautiful Women of Artistic Swimming” TV Commercial [Official]

While Mr.

Konno is dining at a café and glances at the TV, it turns out the proprietress is being interviewed as an artistic swimming athlete.

The scene conveys his bewilderment well—both at seeing a familiar face on television and at her speech peppered with her usual catchphrase, “Is there love in that?” Speaking of artistic swimming, athletes usually pinch their noses during performance, and the fact that she’s answering the interview in that state is comical.

It’s a cheerful bit where she talks about the importance of love while her pronunciation is impaired, creating an amusing situation that’s hard to fully grasp from context alone.

Aiful ‘Kung Fu Landlady’ VersionMao Daichi

Aiful “Kung Fu Landlady” TV Commercial [Official]

This video depicts the proprietress standing up to attackers in a world reminiscent of classic kung fu films.

She hurls the familiar line—rendered with sounds inspired by Chinese pronunciation—“Do you all have love in your hearts?” and from there, a fierce battle unfolds.

The background music during the intense fight is also striking: it sings “Do you have love?” to a rhythm that evokes a certain kung fu movie.

Though the world is surreal, the proprietress’s powerful resolve to convey love comes through clearly.
