Latest commercial [April 2025] (61–70)
Gyu-Kaku Spring 2025 CommercialKanna Hashimoto
This is Gyu-Kaku’s spring 2025 commercial.
It shows Kanna Hashimoto enjoying delicious-looking meat inside a Gyu-Kaku restaurant, with one appetizing scene after another.
While Gyu-Kaku is often associated with all-you-can-eat, this ad features platters sized for two to three people.
It’s a mouthwatering commercial.
Kao EMAL: “#EMAL for T-shirts” / “#T-shirt Relatable Moments” / “#Clothes-Lover Relatable Moments”Naomi Watanabe
This commercial highlights how Emal supports various clothing-related concerns and shows that it can solve them.
When used on T-shirts, it helps restore wrinkles and shape; when used on favorite garments, it reduces wear and tear—messages cheerfully conveyed by Naomi Watanabe.
Since the explanation focuses on shape retention, one might wonder whether it also removes sweat and sebum stains, but the ad later provides reassurance on that point as well.
Accompanied by colorful visuals and an upbeat tone, it conveys a positive feeling that your favorites can be kept in great condition.
Shiseido ELIXIR AI Skin Analyzer: ‘Skin Measurement POD’ Version / ‘Online’ VersionMizuki Kayashima
This is an introductory commercial for a skin analysis service using AI by Elixir.
By answering a few simple questions and uploading a facial photo, it displays measurement results for 16 items.
It can help you easily identify areas that need attention and even recommends products for their care, making it clear that this is a highly recommended service for anyone looking to step up their skincare routine.
Sumitomo Forestry Home TREEing “Luxurious Grooming” / “I’m Home, Me.”Masami Nagasawa
In a commercial promoting the appeal of Sumitomo Forestry’s wooden homes, Masami Nagasawa appears as the homeowner.
In the “Luxurious Grooming” version, she is shown choosing clothes in a large walk-in closet, while in the “I’m Home, Me.” version, she plays with her dog in the living room while enjoying homemade sweets.
It’s a lovely commercial that evokes life in a spacious, beautiful home filled with the warmth of wood.
The background music features an original track produced specifically for this commercial.
Kao Pyuora “Birth of a Carbonated Toothpaste”Hiroki Yamada
In this commercial introducing a new sensation: a carbonated toothpaste, Hiroki Yamada showcases how pleasant it is to use.
The fizzy foam helps clean even the tiniest gaps, and he looks amazed by the refreshing feel! This ad has probably piqued the curiosity of many viewers.
Kirin Beer Harekaze: Bottle Harekaze “Ms. Imada” Version / “Mr. Uchimura” Version / “Mr. Meguro” VersionMio Imada, Teruyoshi Uchimura, Ren Meguro
This commercial introduces the bottle debut of Kirin Beer’s Harekaze, while also conveying the desire to support a refreshing everyday life.
The visuals depict everyday scenes of Mio Imada, Teruyoshi Uchimura, and Ren Meguro, and each of their gentle smiles as they hold up Harekaze leaves a strong impression.
That bright, refreshing atmosphere is further emphasized by the background music, an arrangement of “I Want to Be the Wind.” Because it’s played softly with a whistle-like tone, the refreshing breeze portrayed in the visuals is also carried through the sound.
Kirin Beer Harekaze Sakura AI Camera Tried It: “Mr. Meguro” Version / “Ms. Imada” VersionRen Meguro, Mio Imada
This commercial announces that Harekaze, which also uses part of its sales to fund cherry tree planting activities, has now developed a service that can assess the health of cherry trees.
The Sakura AI Camera can determine a cherry tree’s age and health just by photographing it, and the data is sent to local governments to aid in cherry tree conservation.
Just like Ren Meguro and Mio Imada, who are amazed when they hear how it works, you may also have found yourself thinking, “Amazing!” after watching this commercial.
