Hitachi Refrigerator: “Vegetable Compartment Comparison Experiment” EditionSho Sakurai, Masaki Aiba

Vacuum-Chilled [Vegetable Compartment Comparative Experiment Edition]

In the “Sakurai Show ROOM” series, where Arashi serves as image characters and Sho Sakurai recommends various Hitachi products, this installment is the “Vegetable Compartment Comparison Experiment.” It highlights the freshness and longevity of vegetables stored in the refrigerator’s vegetable compartment.

Using a storage method that “puts vegetables to sleep” helps them last longer.

Watching a cucumber that’s been stored for seven days snap crisply as it’s broken and eaten makes you want to try it yourself.

Satomi Ishihara and the Shirokuma-kun mascot appear to help people choose an air conditioner, highlighting the Freeze Cleaning function among the features.

Hitachi, Tree of Hitachi

Hitachi Ltd. Commercials: The Complete “Tree of Hitachi” Series

It’s not a product commercial, but a corporate/group ad.

If I say the commercial with the big tree, you probably know which one I mean.

You can always see it at the end of “The World’s Mysteries.” That tree is a monkeypod located in Moanalua Gardens on Oahu, Hawaii.

It’s 25 meters tall and an impressive 40 meters wide.

Some of you might say, “I’ve seen it in Hawaii.” The phrase “Everyone gathers, everyone contributes, and we take on something new” has remained unchanged for a long time.

It’s a commercial jingle that even kids can’t help but sing.

Change the beginning, and the goal will come closer. (60 seconds) - Hitachi

Titled “Change the beginning, and the goal gets closer,” this commercial by Hitachi, Ltd.

Big Drum: “The Man Who Could Leave Right Away”Satoshi Ohno

Big Drum [The Man Who Could Head Out Right Away]

A Hitachi washing machine commercial released in 2010 featuring Arashi’s leader, Satoshi Ohno.

Although it’s an ad for a washing machine, the first half shows him absorbed in his hobby—lures and fishing rods—so much so that he doesn’t notice the machine running.

In the second half, he rushes out in a panic, but the theme of the commercial is that the wrinkles are smoothed out, so he can put his clothes on right away.
