Compilation of commercials featuring Gaku Hamada: from popular series to the latest ads (11–20)
“Mr. Hamada’s Transfer” EditionGaku Hamada / Meiko Fukuda
Here’s a commercial that supports a young office worker facing a sudden transfer.
When you work for a company, sudden reassignments or relocations can often put you in tough situations.
Playing the role of that office worker is Gaku Hamada, hugely popular for his role as Kintaro in au’s ads as well as in numerous dramas and films.
The ad highlights the convenience of being able to easily search for apartments on your phone during break time, even amid a busy corporate life.
Hamada’s cream soda matches SUUMO’s color, which is really cute.
The “Mr. Hamada’s Hairstyle” versionGaku Hamada
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.
Santaro Series “Composition” Episode
Uracchan, played by Kenta Kiritani, is composing a song for Santaro Day.
As always, he’s singing with a great voice.
Kinchan, played by Gaku Hamada, is acting like a producer and adds a phrase after Uracchan, but he’s told, “We don’t need that.” Am I the only one who feels soothed by him confidently belting out an off-key melody with a smug look on his face?
Thor: The Wizard
The memorable music from the Thor “Wizard” commercial featuring Gaku Hamada is an original piece composed by Tatsuki Hashimoto, who is active as a composer and arranger.
It has a fun, comical, and cute vibe, doesn’t it? On Aiin Co., Ltd.’s official website, it carries a more exotic atmosphere compared to the CM, and in the second half you can hear a cool slapped bass.
Every now and then, why not stretch a little and enjoy that deluxe mood… Please listen while savoring the fantasy feel that might put you in just that kind of mood.
Santaro Series: “Let’s Talk Family.”
The commercial “Let’s Talk Family,” featuring Shota Matsuda, Gaku Hamada, Kento Kiritani, and Nanao, uses an original CM track composed by Masakatsu Takagi, a musician and visual artist known for numerous commercials, TV dramas, and film scores.
The gentle melody unfolds as if depicting warm moments spent with family, and listening to it makes you feel like talking with your loved ones.
If it’s playing as background music during family time, you might even find it easier to honestly express the gratitude you don’t usually put into words!
Ebara Foods “Golden Taste” – “Chicken Karaage” version / “Pork Chop” versionGaku Hamada
This commercial showcases how to use Ougon no Aji (Golden Taste) by featuring Gaku Hamada cooking.
While the sauce is strongly associated with yakiniku, the ad shows it being used for dishes like karaage and pork chops, conveying deliciousness through the appearance of the food and the expressions when tasting it.
It clearly communicates the message that they want people to easily incorporate it into their everyday cooking.
