[So cute and soothing!] Popular commercials featuring cats (1–10)
YKK AP Window and Cat Story: “The Neighbor” EditionNEW!
This is a commercial that depicts the interaction between a dog and a cat living in neighboring houses through their windows, conveying the comfort and warmth of windows.
It portrays how their exchanges gradually deepen, such as communicating through their cries or showing things off to each other.
By developing scenes where one tries to prove they’re superior to the other—like with the size of a ball or the number of friends—it also creates a comical atmosphere.
Asahi Kasei Saran Wrap ‘The Cat That Wants to Cut’ Version
When it comes to plastic wrap commercials, they often focus on how easy it is to cut, right? This Asahi Kasei commercial is like that too, but what sticks with you even more than the wrap is the cat’s serious expression! The woman can’t hide her delight at how easy the wrap is to cut, and the cat, thinking “I want to try it too…,” stares intently at the wrap.
The cat’s inner voice is used as the narration, so be sure to listen.
It’s a male voice, but it’s so cute you’ll feel compelled to hand the wrap to the cat! Dubbing a voice over a cat makes it unbelievably adorable (lol).
Y!mobile “Curling” version
A cat riding on a curling stone and Tetsuro Degawa appear in Y!mobile’s “Curling” commercial.
Together with Y!mobile’s brand character, Futenyan, they glide from an ice rink through the city toward a Y!mobile store.
The play-by-play commentary, reminiscent of a sports broadcast, is unique and memorable.
In the scene where they arrive at their destination, you can enjoy a cute “mogu-mogu time” (snack break) with the cat and Tetsuro Degawa.
Be sure to check out the adorable sight of the cat sitting still on the stone!
YKK AP Window and Cat Story: ‘Childhood Friends’ Chapter
A portrayal of the bond between a girl and a cat in YKK AP’s “Window and Cat Story: ‘Childhood Friends’.” The girl’s attempts to communicate in various ways with the cat on the other side of the “window” leave a strong impression.
With each cut, the scene changes, beautifully conveying the passage of seasons and time.
In the scene where the grown-up girl moves away, her wistful expression as she plays with the cat, reluctant to say goodbye, is striking.
It’s a commercial that moves you with a cat who speaks volumes through expressions without uttering a sound.
Check out this heartwarming, slightly bittersweet little drama.
Inaba CIAO Churu
A commercial for Inaba CIAO Churu, created around the hugely popular cat treat “CIAO Churu.” It features the song “Churu Shiyo!” with its soft, memorable melody, sung by vocalist Kaori Tsuji.
The cats licking the CIAO Churu squeezed out from the pouch are absolutely adorable.
Many viewers will find the sight of cats eagerly rushing over to be soothing.
Enjoy the close-up, camera-facing scenes of cats of all kinds enthusiastically eating.
Daito Trust Construction “What Is Family?” Edition
This is a Daito Kentaku commercial that conveys the warmth of family, featuring a cat named “Kihachi.” It stars Ren Osugi, Mone Kamishiraishi, Tasuku Emoto, and others.
The era of cats being just pets is over; now they’re cherished members of the family.
Kihachi is exactly that—he nods along to the father’s grumbling, sighs “good grief” at the son, and is like everyone’s grandpa.
It makes you wonder if cats think about us this way… and it’s somehow heartwarming.
Daihatsu: ‘We Could Use Even a Cat’s Help’
This is a Daihatsu commercial where the product is so popular that production can’t keep up—they’d even like to borrow a cat’s paws, as the saying goes.
The phrase “even want to borrow a cat’s paws” is a metaphor for being short-staffed, but in the commercial a cat is actually shown working.
It’s a simple job of just pressing a button, but the cat wears a helmet and works properly as a member of the crew.
At the end, a man who seems to be the company president speaks in “cat language” and does the beckoning cat pose, which is both funny and cute.
However, the cat’s gaze seems a bit cold, doesn’t it?
