TV Commercial | au Value Link Plan “Appraisal of the Celestial Emperor” Edition

In the rhymingly titled “Emperor’s Appraisal” segment, this commercial depicts the Heavenly Emperor appraising a painting that Momo-chan says she received from Raku-chan.

He declares the work to be “5 Value,” signaling its high worth while also introducing the five money-saving benefits of the Value Link Plan.

At the end of the ad, it’s revealed that Raku-chan is actually Sharaku, but Ura-chan seems clueless, asking, “Who’s Sharaku?” It’s a memorable commercial packed with chuckle-worthy moments right to the end.

au BLUE CHALLENGE ‘Full-Power Aida’ Version

Shota Matsuda, Kasumi Arimura, and other Santaro members “wholeheartedly support” Japan’s national soccer team; new au BLUE CHALLENGE commercial released featuring them humming “Aida.”

KDDI’s commercial, “Zenryoku Aida” (Full-Power Aida), supports Japan’s national soccer team.

When it comes to soccer, this is the song—hearing it instantly brings the sport to mind.

Its official title is the “Triumphal March,” the second piece in Act II of the opera Aida.

Even though the vocals are basically just “Oh,” it’s incredibly catchy and stirs your fighting spirit.

You might not know the opera, but this one track conjures up the soccer pitch in your mind.

It’s classical music, but it’s become inseparable from soccer.

The “Mr. Hamada’s Hairstyle” versionGaku Hamada

Gaku Hamada transforms with a variety of styles—braids, mohawk, and pompadour—in SUUMO’s new commercial “Mr. Hamada’s Hair Style.”

It’s a pun-based commercial that plays on “hair” (heā) and “room” (heya).

Actor Gaku Hamada and the character SUUMO keep changing their hairstyles—side part, mohawk, and more.

I can’t help but laugh every time the two react.

But isn’t SUUMO’s hair(?) changing pretty rare? It’s a commercial full of humor.

Health Insurance: New EVER “Manekineko Duck New Employee” Edition

Aflac Commercial: Beckoning Cat Duck - New Employee Edition, Aoi Miyazaki

A commercial where Aoi Miyazaki plays a senior employee who brings a treat to her junior colleague, Gaku Hamada, to cheer him up.

Of course Aoi Miyazaki is adorable, but on top of Aflac’s little duck, there’s a new character—a white beckoning cat—and it’s super cute! The beckoning cat and the duck together are the “Maneki Neko Duck.” I wish I could get cheered on by such a cute duo too (lol).

Ebara Foods Golden Taste ‘Yakiniku with Everyone’ VersionGaku Hamada, Hiyori Sakurada

Golden Taste: Yakiniku with Everyone — Gaku Hamada / Hiyori Sakurada

Featuring Gaku Hamada and Hiyori Sakurada as a brother and sister enjoying a barbecue together, this is a commercial for Ebara’s “Ogon no Aji” (Golden Taste) sauce.

It shows them wrapping rice with meat dipped in the sauce and eating it, and just watching it is enough to make you hungry!

“Mr. Hamada’s New Arrival” VersionGaku Hamada / Yuzuki Akiyama

Yuzuki Akiyama from 'One Cut of the Dead' to co-star with Gaku Hamada in a commercial? SUUMO's new CM: 'Hamada-san’s New Listing' edition

It’s a commercial about how you can’t help checking new property listings—whether you’re watching a tense horror movie or nervously trying to put your arm around a girl on a date.

It features actor Gaku Hamada, known for the drama “Mr.

Kinpachi in Class 3B” and the film “The Foreign Duck, the Native Duck and God in a Coin Locker.” His facial expressions are comical and really entertaining, aren’t they?
