Calorie Mate commercials that hit you right in the heart! A collection of masterpieces you’ll want to rewatch (21–30)

Otsuka Pharmaceutical Calorie Mate Jelly “Chuu-shita (Kissed)” VersionNEW!Yuuichi Nakamura

Otsuka Pharmaceutical Calorie Mate Jelly – “Chew” Version 30 Seconds

This is one of the series of commercials that depict CalorieMate as a character called a “little nutritionist.” This time, the story unfolds with CalorieMate getting jealous of CalorieMate Jelly.

Watching a woman sip jelly from a pouch, it panics and cries out, “She kissed it!”—which is just so adorable, isn’t it? And at the end of the commercial, the man sitting next to the woman eats it, closing on a humorous punchline with its lament, “Why meee?”

Otsuka Pharmaceutical Calorie Mate “Inner Voice” VersionNEW!Aju Makita

Otsuka Pharmaceutical Calorie Mate Inner Voice Version 90 seconds

“Show them your true grit” is a catchphrase that powerfully pushes exam takers forward in this commercial.

It portrays students steadily working toward their exams while wrestling with various emotions and inner conflicts.

This CM, which depicts their hard-fought struggle, features “Be Kind to People,” a single released by THE BLUE HEARTS in 1988.

Instead of the original track, a choral version sung by the exam takers is used, delivering each word of the lyrics with striking clarity.

Otsuka Pharmaceutical Calorie Mate Liquid “The Thinking Liquid” EditionNEW!Ichiro Yamaguchi

Calorie Mate Liquid CM “The Thinking Liquid” 15 seconds

For those who keep on thinking, nutrition is an ally but a full stomach is an enemy—so says Ichiro Yamaguchi, the vocalist of Sakanaction, in the commercial.

What he’s holding is Calorie Mate Liquid.

The ad clearly conveys how easily you can get the nutrients you need.

The background music is Sakanaction’s “Nylon no Ito.” The lyrics, with depictions that feel like looking back on the past and evoke nostalgia, seem to leave room for listeners to project their own stories.

Be sure to read the lyrics and find your own interpretation.

Otsuka Pharmaceutical CalorieMate “Believe in the First Step” EditionNEW!Takumi Kitamura

Calorie Mate TV Commercial | “Believe in Your First Step” 30 seconds

This commercial draws a parallel between entrance exams and mountain climbing, saying that the scenery you see after moving forward step by step is irreplaceable.

It features Takumi Kitamura, and watching his efforts is truly inspiring.

The BGM is Tatsuro Yamashita’s 2010 release “Kibou to Iu Na no Hikari” (“A Light Called Hope”).

With its grand, moving melody and gentle, warm lyrics, it’s a song that soothes the heart as you listen.

In conclusion

Looking back at the past Calorie Mate commercials, they carefully portrayed snapshots of life—like entrance exams, club activities, and everyday challenges. The messages packed tightly into those short clips gently stir something deep inside every time you watch them. I’m really excited to see what kinds of stories future commercials will bring.
