Funny Commercials [May 2025] (1–10)
Ajinomoto Nabe Cube Oden Honpo “Ago-dashi Soy Sauce: Oden Artisan” EditionKei Tanaka
This commercial for the Nabe Cube series’ Oden Honpo features Kei Tanaka appearing as a “home oden master.” It promotes how you can make oden with a rich, slow-simmered flavor in a short time using just one cube.
When Tanaka says the line, “I’ve been thinking about it for 20 minutes,” the kids quip, “That’s short!”—a comedic twist that’s sure to make you smile.
Morinaga Milk Industry MOW “Ice Shop MOW: The natural deliciousness of ingredients themselves” versionKei Tanaka, Sari Awano, Makiko Takizawa
It’s a commercial set in an ice cream shop run by a parent and child.
Kei Tanaka plays the father, who is the shop owner.
When customer Makiko Takizawa asks about the products, Sari Awano, playing the daughter, carefully explains her father’s commitment to quality.
The clean shop, surrounded by beautiful flowers, reinforces the impression of simple flavors and products that make the most of natural ingredients.
Many viewers will probably find themselves chuckling at Tanaka’s smug grin at the end.
Townwork Townwork Song “Humming” Version / “Standing” VersionMio Imada
Mio Imada appears in the Townwork commercials, known for the catchphrase “If you’re going to get a part-time job, Townwork.” In the “Humming” version, she is shown singing a parody of “When the Saints Go Marching In.” In contrast, in the “Standing” version, the parody plays as background music, but Mio Imada simply stands there, looking a bit bashful.
The final shot of her flashing a peace sign with a smile is particularly memorable.
Neither spot relies on flashy appeals, yet both are crafted into highly memorable commercials.

Morinaga Milk Industry Bifidobacteria “Ice Show” Version / “Lesson” VersionMao Asada
This is a commercial in which Mao Asada, serving as Morinaga Milk Industry’s head of publicity, introduces the benefits of bifidobacteria through figure skating.
Two versions, “Ice Show” and “Lesson,” have been released.
In both, she highlights bifidobacteria while performing and while teaching.
It’s a humorous ad whose oddly surreal concept—presenting bifidobacteria in sync with her graceful skating—becomes surprisingly addictive.
Iris Ohyama Portable Air Conditioner “The Wandering Man” Version
This commercial, which introduces a portable air conditioner you can use anywhere without installation, is titled “The Wandering Man.” A man carrying an acoustic guitar appears and, to a somewhat wistful melody, talks about the benefits of the portable air conditioner.
Also noteworthy is the characteristically Iris-style surreal humor, such as a small girl getting really into the very cool, mature-sounding song, and a scene near the end where the wandering man gets barked at by a dog.
Kirin Beer Tanrei Green Label ‘Who Is It? (It’s the Oizumi Band)’ VersionYo Oizumi, Erika Mori
This commercial depicts Yo Oizumi and Erika Mori enjoying a fun time with friends, while also highlighting how Green Label supports those relaxing moments.
The sight of friends wearing Yo Oizumi-themed headgear is memorable, and the lively movement of the “Oizumi Band” further emphasizes the fun.
The phrases “Ii n da yo” and “Green da yo,” delivered along with the performance, also help underscore the light, easygoing feel.
Kirin Beer Tanrei Green Label “Who is that? (There are so many Masked Guys)” version / “Who is that? ‘I’m Masked Guy’” version / “Who is that? (Mask Off)” version / “Who is that? (It’s Mori-chan)” versionYo Oizumi, Erika Mori
This commercial portrays a performance set against a refreshing natural landscape, depicting a relaxing moment brought about by the freshness of Green Label.
As Yo Oizumi and Erika Mori happily play music together, a person wearing a Yo Oizumi mask appears and joins the performance.
Despite being bewildered by the various ways this character appears and the fact that no one knows who it is, they continue to play with smiles, effectively conveying a sense of fun.
