[Ariel Commercials] Popular and Past Commercials Summary [2026] (21–30)
P&G Ariel “24-Hour Strong Antibacterial Protection Even During the Rainy Season”Toma Ikuta
During the rainy season, everyone struggles with the “laundry problem.” You can’t hang clothes outside, they don’t dry easily, and above all, there’s that indoor-drying smell.
A parent and child feel down as they look out at the rain and their laundry hanging inside… when Toma Ikuta suddenly appears, dancing with an umbrella.
He promotes Ariel’s 24-hour antibacterial effect that keeps indoor-dried laundry okay and odor-free! But honestly, it’s hard not to get distracted by Toma Ikuta’s light-footed moves and the musical-like backdrop in this commercial (lol).
P&G Ariel Power Gel Ball 3D “Birth of Gel Ball 3D” VersionToma Ikuta
The commercial for Ariel Power Gel Ball 3D, titled “Birth of Gel Ball 3D,” features Toma Ikuta as an Ariel research scientist.
Looking at a row of shirts that gradually yellowed despite repeated washing, he expresses the frustration that until now, people had no choice but to give up on those stains.
But with the new Gel Ball 3D, there’s no need to give up anymore! The ad showcases the process of creating the gel balls, how they wash away yellowing from laundry, and even the surprising effect of making shirts look whiter with gel balls.
It ends with the punchline: “Unbelievable? It’s Ariel, of course.”
P&G Ariel “One Day” VersionTsuyoshi Kusanagi
This commercial conveys Tsuyoshi Kusanagi’s gentle image just as it is.
It’s the Ariel “One Day” spot, like a model of a good dad and a kind husband.
The focus on “what we take for granted isn’t actually guaranteed”—such as towels staying white and no unpleasant odors even when used at night—and the considerate care for family are a bit moving.
A husband who notices and appreciates his wife’s thoughtful touches is wonderful, isn’t he? It’s a commercial that makes you want to reexamine the things you assume are just a given.
P&G Ariel Speed Plus “Ultra Quick” Version
This is the commercial video for Ariel Science Plus “Ultra Quick.” The music for it was created by Yasuaki Shimizu, a saxophonist, composer, and music producer.
He is also active as Yasuaki Shimizu & Saxophonettes.
P&G Ariel Gel Ball 3D “One sold every 0.3 seconds!” versionBananaman
“Hey there! I’m Liquid Detergent!” “And I’m Gel Ball!” This commercial kicks off as if a comedy duo is about to start their routine—it’s the Ariel Gel Ball 3D “One sold every 0.3 seconds!” edition.
Liquid detergent and gel balls are chatting—don’t those voices sound familiar? The comedy duo Banana Man provides the voice acting: Himura plays the liquid detergent, and Shitara voices the gel ball.
They clearly convey how amazing the gel balls are, highlighting their cleaning power and convenience.
The two even make a brief on-screen appearance at the end.
P&G Ariel Sports Liquid Detergent “Hands-Free Refill” VersionNaomi Osaka
Many people buy refill packs of detergent because they’re cheap and eco-friendly, but isn’t refilling a real hassle? After watching this commercial, you’ll definitely think, “Is it really that easy?” It’s the ‘Hands-Free Refill’ spot for Ariel Sports liquid detergent featuring pro tennis player Naomi Osaka.
At first glance, it looks like a regular refill pack, but even if you open the cap and turn it upside down, no detergent comes out.
Just check the orientation, snap it into the bottle until you hear a click, and then in an instant the detergent is drawn into the bottle! Just like Naomi Osaka’s reaction, seeing it makes you want to try it yourself (lol).
P&G Ariel Sports Liquid Detergent “Birth” EditionToma Ikuta, Naomi Osaka
Ariel’s brand ambassador Toma Ikuta and professional tennis player Naomi Osaka appear in the commercial for Ariel laundry detergent, the “Birth of the Sports Liquid Detergent” edition.
Athletes move intensely, where every split second counts and they put everything on the line.
They can’t worry about getting their clothes dirty.
And when it comes to sports, sweat is inevitable.
Many parents whose children are in athletic clubs probably struggle with odors and stains, right? This commercial introduces a powerful detergent that looks ready to solve those problems.
