Red Fox and Green Raccoon Dog commercials: A lineup of masterpieces featuring Tetsuya Takeda and a star-studded cast (11–20)
Toyo Suisan Maruchan Akai Kitsune Midori no Tanuki ‘New Year’s Eve Question’ VersionTetsuya Takeda, um...
It’s a commercial where Tetsuya Takeda declares, “For New Year’s, it’s got to be Midori no Tanuki!” and Ano-san innocently asks, “Why is that?” She goes on to check if the reason is the taste: “Because the tempura’s fluffy?” “Because it’s super shrimpy?” “Because the broth is so rich?” But in the end she cuts to the heart of it with, “Doesn’t that have nothing to do with New Year’s?” and Takeda-san can’t help but admit, “You’re right, it doesn’t.” The idea that soba is the New Year’s staple is humorously portrayed, and before you know it, you’ll find yourself reaching for a Midori no Tanuki.
Toyo Suisan Maruchan Red Kitsune and Green Tanuki × ‘Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX’ “Is it okay to celebrate New Year’s however you want?” Version
This is a collaborative commercial depicting the characters from the anime “Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX” talking about what to eat for New Year’s.
Amate Yuzuriha says, “I want to eat Akai Kitsune for New Year’s,” to which Nyaan replies, “New Year’s calls for soba.” Then Shuji Ito chimes in, “The Gundam says to eat both.” The lively back-and-forth between the characters leaves a strong impression after just one viewing.
