Noboribetsu Onsen Mahoroba
Noboribetsu Onsen Hotel Mahoroba is a ryokan operated by Toho Resort that opened in 1994.
It is a facility that prominently features Noboribetsu Onsen, a specialty of Noboribetsu City in Hokkaido, and its major appeal lies in offering one of the largest numbers of baths in Noboribetsu along with several types of spring qualities to enjoy.
The TV commercial also focuses on the grand public baths; set to majestic music, it conveys just how large and magnificent Mahoroba’s hot springs are.
The hot springs have been selected for lists such as the “Top 250 Popular Onsen Ryokan” and the “Everyone’s Choice Onsen Awards,” and you can sense strong confidence in the hot springs from the commercial.
Fujino Seizan Garden
Fujino Seizanen is a cemetery in Sapporo, Hokkaido, with the appealing atmosphere of a park surrounded by abundant nature.
It’s said to be featured in a commercial that every Hokkaido resident knows, with the phrase “We won the soccer championship!” being especially famous.
The commercial was renewed once: it kept the same phrase but changed to a clearer pronunciation, and people say you can guess someone’s generation by how they pronounce it when they mimic the ad.
The commercial has a warm tone that encourages people to visit their family graves without forgetting gratitude and to share their recent news with their ancestors.
Doshin Sports
This is a commercial for Doshin Sports, a Hokkaido sports newspaper launched in 1982.
Many people will recognize the ad featuring puppets made from newspaper moving around.
The song used in the commercial is also memorable, isn’t it? With upbeat lyrics, a refreshing vibe, and a catchy melody line, it’s the kind of tune many who heard it back in the day can still hum today.
In 2015, a second version of the song was produced, which also drew attention for featuring Hatsune Miku on vocals.
