Combined with the familiar sound logo being sung multiple times, it’s a very memorable commercial.

Speaking of “Can’t stop, won’t stop,” that’s got to be Calbee’s Kappa Ebisen, right? In the Kappa Ebisen commercial “Yamatoma Song” featuring Yuya Tegoshi, he shows off an intense dance to that catchphrase.
With movements that seem to mimic a shrimp and energetic moves that express the feeling of not being able to stop, he embodies the snack’s catchphrase with his whole body.
In the end, he even shortens it to “Yame, toma!” as if overwhelmed by Kappa Ebisen’s irresistible power.
He keeps dancing the whole time, and the CM wraps up with him saying, “It’s delicious.”

By capturing such a natural reaction, the appeal feels even more relatable.
