Funny commercials [June 2025] (91–100)
SoftBank “Smartphone Debut Festival” / “Smartphone Debut Festival: Home Visit”Takashi Sorimachi, Asuka Saito
An announcement has been made for the “Smartphone Debut Festival,” which supports students making their first smartphone debut.
In keeping with the festival’s name in Japanese, the commercial cleverly emphasizes the syllable “sai,” making for a humorous and memorable touch.
It’s hard to look away from the wild, high-impact scenes—like Takashi Sorimachi riding a rhinoceros and bursting through a house wall.
The background music is a parody of Shibugakitai’s signature song “NAI NAI 16.”
Toyo Suisan Maruchan Akai Kitsune Midori no Tanuki ‘Late-Night Snack Operation’ VersionTetsuya Takeda, Kumiko Aso, Jiro (Shisonnu)
This commercial depicts Tetsuya Takeda and Jiro sneaking behind Kumiko Aso’s back to eat Akai Kitsune late at night.
They quietly get up in the middle of the night, make sure Aso is asleep, and start boiling water in the kitchen.
Careful not to make a sound, they finally begin to eat—only to blurt out in delight at how delicious it is, getting caught by Aso in the end.
The two are clumsy yet lovable, making for a heartwarming scene, and the spot leaves a strong impression of the guilty thrill of late-night snacking and the tastiness of Akai Kitsune.
Toyo Suisan Maruchan Akai Kitsune Midori no Tanuki ‘New Year’s Eve Question’ VersionTetsuya Takeda, um...
It’s a commercial where Tetsuya Takeda declares, “For New Year’s, it’s got to be Midori no Tanuki!” and Ano-san innocently asks, “Why is that?” She goes on to check if the reason is the taste: “Because the tempura’s fluffy?” “Because it’s super shrimpy?” “Because the broth is so rich?” But in the end she cuts to the heart of it with, “Doesn’t that have nothing to do with New Year’s?” and Takeda-san can’t help but admit, “You’re right, it doesn’t.” The idea that soba is the New Year’s staple is humorously portrayed, and before you know it, you’ll find yourself reaching for a Midori no Tanuki.
Toyo Suisan Maruchan Akai Kitsune Midori no Tanuki “Tears and the Payphone” EditionTetsuya Takeda, Kumiko Aso, Jiro (Shisonnu)
It’s a commercial with a memorable, trendy-drama-style presentation.
The heroine is played by Kumiko Aso, her counterpart is Jiro from the comedy duo Sissonne, and Tetsuya Takeda appears as Aso’s father.
At the beginning of the commercial, Aso calls Jiro in tears, and Jiro immediately tries to rush to her.
However, he was in the middle of boiling water to eat Akai Kitsune.
Just when you’d expect him to head out right away, Jiro starts eating the Akai Kitsune instead.
It’s a commercial that unexpectedly takes a humorous turn and can’t help but make you laugh.
TOYO SUISAN Maruchan ‘Red Kitsune and Green Tanuki’ – Autumn Mountain Climbing EditionTetsuya Takeda, Moka Kamishiraishi
This is a commercial showing Tetsuya Takeda climbing a mountain with Moka Kamishiraishi and eating Akai Kitsune and Midori no Tanuki at the summit.
Kamishiraishi takes a deep, refreshing breath at the top and, saying “The moment you’ve been waiting for—,” she pulls Akai Kitsune and Midori no Tanuki out of her backpack.
Takeda, on the other hand, tries to keep his cool in front of her, but when she’s not looking he’s clearly out of breath and really struggling.
From the middle of the ad, you see Kamishiraishi eating deliciously while Takeda does his best to steady his breathing and keep eating without getting caught.
It’s a charming and funny commercial that highlights Takeda’s bravado.
Hometown Tax site Satofull: “Sense of Loss” version / “Which Satofull?” version / “Still Not Doing It” versionTokyo 03, Kumiko Aso
This is a SatoFuru commercial with the catchy tagline, “If you want to enjoy hometown tax donations.” Is it the balcony of a high-rise building? Four adults chat about SatoFuru while enjoying some cooking.
The same characters and scenery appear throughout the series, and through quizzes like “What are the key points of hometown tax donations?” and “Which SatoFuru region did the ingredients come from?” it conveys SatoFuru’s convenience in a warm, relaxed atmosphere.
Nishitan Clinic: Love in Perfect RhythmEiichiro Funakoshi, Hitomi Kuroki, Hiroya Yamazaki
Set in a retro snack bar that evokes the Showa era, Etsuhiro Funakoshi and Hitomi Kuroki perform a duet.
Though the reason is unclear, the various cast members are wildly excited, creating a strangely delightful atmosphere.
The song they sing is titled “Koi no Tantan Byoshi.” With rhythms and sounds that perfectly capture the classic feel of a male–female duet, their gentle yet powerful vocals really stand out.
The lyrics basically just promote the name of Nishitan Clinic, but the way they convey a range of emotions through tone and expression makes it all quite comical.
