[Ariel Commercials] Popular and All-Time Commercials Summary [2026] (1–10)
P&G Ariel Gel Ball Pro “360-Degree Ironclad Barrier” VersionToma Ikuta, Viking
This commercial, which claims to solve all laundry-related problems like odors, stains, bacteria, and house dust, is for Ariel Gel Ball Pro.
The familiar Toma Ikuta appears as a researcher, and the comedy duo Viking plays the roles of odor and dirt.
The clear, catchy direction is appealing, making it a commercial you’ll enjoy watching right to the end.
P&G Ariel ‘Completely Easy Super Detergent—Unbelievab-ariel’ (Indoor Drying ver.) / (Cleansing ver.)Mio Imada, Koji Yamamoto
This commercial conveys, through the interaction between Mio Imada and Koji Yamamoto, that Ariel Gel Ball makes it easy to achieve powerful cleaning.
When Koji Yamamoto denies it, insisting such an easy detergent couldn’t exist, Mio Imada demonstrates it in action, checks the washed result and the fragrance, and he becomes convinced.
The shift from his sternly skeptical expression to a satisfied smile clearly communicates how effective it is.
P&G Ariel Disinfect Plus “Deep Penetration Disinfection” VersionToma Ikuta, Eito Kawahara, Chiitan☆
This commercial introduces Ariel Jokin Plus’s deep-penetrating sanitizing action and explains how it removes dirt.
It opens with the comedic idea that Chītan seems to have an odor, and to examine the grime, they submerge Chītan entirely to soak.
Even though it’s washed with an antibacterial detergent, dirt visibly seeps out of Chītan—leading to the solution that a sanitizing detergent can remove this kind of grime.
The ad then showcases how beautifully clean Chītan becomes, effectively highlighting the strong performance of the sanitizing detergent.

P&G Ariel MiRAi “Father’s Mistake” VersionYo Oizumi, Rio Teramoto
This commercial portrays a casual conversation between a father and daughter, conveying family bonds and the warmth of everyday life.
The detail that it’s been six years since the mother passed away is a key point, and you can clearly feel the bond forged from the time they’ve spent together in their candid words.
The expressions of Yo Oizumi and Rio Teramoto add a comedic touch, creating a relaxed atmosphere.
While doing laundry with Ariel MiRAi serves as the conversation’s starting point, it’s interesting that the dialogue mostly wanders into unrelated topics afterward.
P&G Ariel Powerful Wash & Deodorization: ‘Detergent + Bleach-Level Cleaning Power in One Bottle!’Toma Ikuta
Ariel Strong Wash & Deodorant “Detergent + bleach-level cleaning power in one bottle!” version.
In this one, Toma Ikuta explains Ariel’s effectiveness to a researcher played by Eito Kawahara.
It has a refreshing feel with a blue sky backdrop.
The background music uses the “Hallelujah Chorus,” one of the pieces from Handel’s Messiah.
Since “Messiah” means “savior,” it might be suggesting that the product can solve troublesome situations.
P&G Ariel Gel Ball 4D Pro Clean “Breaking Limits Challenge”Toma Ikuta, Abareru-kun
This features Toma Ikuta appearing as a chief researcher for Ariel.
He takes part in Spain’s tomato festival, where Abareru-kun’s pure white T-shirt gets stained bright red.
Using the Gold Gel Ball to wash it, they restore the shirt to its pristine white.
Abareru-kun and the festival participants are impressed by how completely the stains were removed.
P&G Ariel Gel Ball 4D: Cleaning Power Beyond Bleach (version)Ahn Mika
The P&G Ariel Gel Ball 4D commercial, known for featuring Anmika, is packed with visual tricks that entertain viewers.
In the “Cleaning Power Beyond Bleach” segment, for example, the product explanation scene turns moments of staining clothes into monochrome, creating a sharp contrast with the subsequent laundry scene.
This can also be seen as a considerate choice to avoid showing dirt too graphically.
There are plenty of other fun touches included, so see how many you can spot.
