IRIS OHYAMA OSH “Overwashing” EditionRyo Yoshizawa
This commercial introduces how powerful Iris Ohyama’s washing machine is through a conversation with a distinctive tempo.
When the wife laments that the message written on a uniform got washed away, Ryo Yoshizawa reassures her by saying it’s his fault for switching to an Iris Ohyama washing machine.
Although he’s supposed to be comforting his wife, the way he occasionally looks at us is striking, making it clear that it’s really an appeal to the machine’s strong cleaning power.
It’s a strangely unsettling twist to complain about how well it cleans, and his unique facial expressions in that moment are memorable, aren’t they?

The ad feels like it’s pushing through on sheer momentum, but that’s exactly why it sticks with you after just one viewing.

The key parts are presented in a way that Japanese speakers can grasp the nuances, which is another fun aspect.

It’s not just about becoming a middle schooler; they also have to study and are given Shinken Zemi materials.
Although they’re confused by the pace of the school lessons, it’s striking how they make it through by using Shinken Zemi, which lets them choose a course that matches their level.
