This commercial features George Tokoro lightheartedly conveying that Okinawa offers a wide variety of leisure activities even in winter.

He appears in various locations, showing off his bright smile, which really lets you feel the fun of Okinawa.

The original song he sings with an easygoing vibe delivers that Okinawan fun straight to the viewer.

Its melody evokes Okinawan folk music as it introduces different leisure activities, and it also packs in his trademark comical touch.

Through everyone’s smiles, it conveys the fulfilling feeling that Okinawa is warm even in winter and offers a wide variety of leisure activities.

Further emphasizing the cheerful atmosphere depicted in the visuals is a version of The Drifters’ “Ii Yu Da Na” that incorporates Okinawan elements.

By changing the call-and-response parts of the song to things you can enjoy in Okinawa, it lightly conveys the excitement of all the different experiences available.

FEEL THE NEW SKY: “Siblings” Edition

ANA CM "FEEL THE NEW SKY - Siblings Edition" (30 seconds)

Actress Haruka Ayase appears in ANA’s “FEEL THE NEW SKY” commercial.

The music was produced by Maika Loubté, who has a French father and a Japanese mother.

In 2009, she formed EA, based in Tokyo.

Her pop sensibilities shine through, creating an electro-organic band sound.

This is a must-check as well!

ANA “Bringing the world closer, with ANA” — Hawaii Edition

From ANA Global Channel: 'Bringing the world closer, with ANA' — Hawaii Edition

In the past, “family trip” practically meant Hawaii, but thanks to the pandemic, many people made do with domestic travel in Japan at best—often camping or glamping that families could enjoy together.

Here’s an ANA commercial that invites those families back to Hawaii.

Two major concerns with family trips are whether children will get fussy on long flights and whether parents will get exhausted, but the ad clearly shows that flying with ANA can solve those worries.

ANA “Where are we going on an international flight?” EditionHidetoshi Nishijima

ANA TV Commercial: Where to go on international flights? (30 seconds)

In this commercial, fitting for the “Where are you going on an international flight?” theme, a comedic situation unfolds when a game of shiritori suddenly starts using country names.

Hidetoshi Nishijima—who often plays cool roles in dramas and films—shines with a dazzling smile.

The punchline lands when Nishijima, stuck on the “ru” in shiritori, says “Rundon made” (up to Rundon), and the attendant corrects him with “London, right?” After watching this CM, you’ll definitely feel like traveling abroad.

ANA 2015 “Summer Tabiwari” Campaign: Flying Makes You Feel Higher – 30 Seconds

[CM] Summer 2015 ANA: “You get a lift when you fly.” JAL: “FLY to 2020”

ANA All Nippon Airways commercial “Uplifting Summer Trip.” The dance by Sandaime J Soul Brothers is so cool, and the sound is perfect for summer—really pleasant.

Even though it’s a commercial, it gets you hyped like you’re at a live show.

The song says there are countless sights in the world that a phone camera can’t capture, which makes me want to travel even more.

ANA CM 2006

This is an original song used in the commercial when ANA launched its Narita-to-Chicago route in 2006.

The track really conveys a strong sense of determination and excitement for what’s ahead.

It features a luxurious sound that hints at a bright future.

The commercial also includes a pun playing on “Chicago,” showing five deer (shika) playing basketball, and the whole piece captures ANA’s momentum as it declares, “We’re taking on the entire United States!” Highly recommended.
