AC Japan commercials: from humorous productions to messages that hit home (41–50)
AC Japan “Because It’s For You… (AC Japan & NHK Joint Campaign)” / “Starting Line (Support Campaign)”
These are two commercials themed around children’s efforts and their futures.
In “Because It’s For You,” a boy who is made to study all the time by his mother—who insists it’s “for your own good”—steps up to pursue the baseball he truly wanted to play.
The other spot, “Starting Line,” introduces support initiatives for children who, due to their families’ financial circumstances, cannot stand at the same starting line as their peers.
AC Japan: “The Eye Frailty Song (Support Campaign)”
This commercial raises awareness about eye frailty, a condition in which visual function declines.
Set to a parody of the children’s song “The Frog Chorus,” it explains what eye frailty is.
If you notice any problems with your eyes, visit an ophthalmologist promptly.
AC Japan ‘The Presumptive Detective Deka (National Campaign)’ EpisodeKyūsaku Shimada
In this commercial, Hisaku Shimada plays a jump-to-conclusions detective character, warning viewers not to take information at face value—especially on social media.
Prompted by an SNS post, Shimada’s character identifies a suspect as the culprit, only for it to be revealed that the post was false.
Framed like a short drama, the ad carries the message: don’t believe and criticize information too quickly.
AC Japan ‘An Accident That Was 100% Preventable’
Titled “An Accident That Was 100% Preventable,” this is a commercial calling for the eradication of drunk driving.
When you saw the title, you might have thought, “There’s no such thing as an accident that’s 100% preventable,” but hearing that accidents caused by drunk driving are exactly the kind that should have been prevented may have made many people stop and think.
“If you drink, don’t drive.
If you drive, don’t drink.” Simply following that straightforward rule can save lives, which really makes you determined never to break it.
AC Japan “Arigato—That’s Nice, Isn’t It? (Osaka Regional Campaign)” Version
This is a commercial that introduces the charms of Kansai from the perspective of a woman who moved there from another region.
She works at a café and says she’s noticed that people in Kansai always make a point of saying “thank you.” She goes on to say that those words of appreciation give her the strength to keep going.
The commercial ends with a narration that says such kindness makes the world a warmer place, and it’s the kind of ad that warms your heart as you watch it.
AC Japan ‘Hoku-hoku, Tohoku’ Version
This is a commercial that introduces the charms of the six prefectures of Tohoku through a light, upbeat rap.
It showcases each region’s appeal through song and visuals, and I imagine many viewers felt, “I want to visit the Tohoku region!” after watching it.
The background rap is performed in the voice of a young boy, and the pun-filled lyrics add an irresistibly cute touch.
AC Japan “Yoshi! From Here! — Straws Made from Reeds Grown in Wetlands (Nagoya Regional Campaign)”
It introduces a wetland conservation activity being carried out at an elementary school in Fukui Prefecture.
In the commercial, children are shown protecting the wetland environment by cutting reeds, and then making straws from the harvested reeds to distribute to local restaurants.
The message emphasizes that the activity not only helps conserve the wetland but also contributes to reducing plastic waste.
It’s the kind of video that makes you think, “We want to do something for the environment, too.”
