[Indeed Commercials] Popular and Historical Commercials Compilation [2026] (21–30)

indeed ‘Assistant Chopper’ versionTakumi Saitoh, Rika Izumi, Daigo, Hiroyuki Ikeuchi, Yosuke Kubozuka

Indeed New TV Commercial: 'Chopper Assistant' Edition

This is the hugely popular ONE PIECE version of Indeed’s commercial.

Takumi Saitoh plays Luffy, Rika Izumi plays Nami, Daigo from Chidori plays Usopp, Hiroyuki Ikeuchi plays Zoro, and Yosuke Kubozuka plays Sanji—casting that makes you go, “What is this? Isn’t this way too luxurious?” It’s impossible to imagine the Straw Hat crew job hunting, but their oddly solemn conversation is unintentionally hilarious.

And what exactly does the role titled “Chopper: Assistant” even do?

Indeed ‘Chubu’ EditionTakumi Saitoh, Rika Izumi

Indeed Commercial 'Chubu' Version 15 seconds

This is one of Indeed’s series of commercials—the “Chubu” edition! Familiar faces Takumi Saitoh and Rika Izumi are posing in front of Nagoya Castle, peeking through cutout boards of tenmusu and stewed udon.

While taking photos, they talk about the differences between the golden shachihoko, the symbol of Nagoya Castle.

Saitoh’s hand gestures are quite unique!

In addition to the familiar faces of Takumi Saitoh, Rika Izumi, and Daigo from the comedy duo Chidori, Hiroyuki Ikeuchi and Yosuke Kubozuka also appear, giving it a special feel.

It’s also pretty funny that Chopper is portrayed as a full-on reindeer.

Indeed “Part-time Job Search” Version

Takumi Saitoh starring – Job Hunting Edition / “Indeed” CM 2

This is a popular Indeed series in which Takumi Saitoh and Rika Izumi play people working in various occupations.

In this commercial, in addition to an apron like a café staff uniform and an amusement park mascot costume, they also appear as a pompadour-wearing carpenter and in outfits reminiscent of traditional ethnic clothing.

These two truly look good in anything they wear.

The commercial showcases the impressive versatility of the pair, who also thrive as models.

Indeed “Hinamatsuri” VersionTakumi Saitoh, Rika Izumi

Takumi Saitoh transforms into the Imperial Doll; a stern quip from the “sadistic” Rika Izumi as the Hina Doll — New TV commercial for the job site Indeed: “Hinamatsuri” edition

Since this is a commercial for the Hinamatsuri (Doll Festival), Takumi Saitoh and Rika Izumi are dressed as the imperial prince and princess.

Complaining that his back hurts—perhaps from sitting for so long—Saitoh is scolded by Izumi, who tells him to endure it because they’re working.

Speaking of Indeed, the brand is known for its parody song based on “If You’re Happy and You Know It,” but in this commercial it’s sung a bit more slowly than usual.

Indeed “Hula Hoop” VersionTakumi Saitoh, Rika Izumi

[indeed] Hula Hoop Edition [Takumi Saitoh][Rika Izumi] 15-second Commercial

This is an Indeed commercial featuring Takumi Saitoh fiddling with his smartphone while singing, and Rika Izumi hula-hooping.

Saitoh is surprised that Indeed is recognized not only in Japan but around the world and tries to share the news with Izumi, but since she’s hula-hooping, she looks a bit annoyed.

Saitoh’s “Oops, my bad” reaction is pretty funny.

indeed “Straw Hat Crew Recruitment — Now Running a Campaign” versionTakumi Saitoh, Rika Izumi, Daigo, Hiroyuki Ikeuchi, Yosuke Kubozuka

Indeed New CM: Recruiting Straw Hat Crew - “Now Hiring” Campaign

This is the “Now Recruiting the Straw Hat Crew – During Campaign” commercial that made waves for its bold live-action take on the hugely popular national anime One Piece.

In this version, a reindeer playing Chopper takes center stage, leading to a brief exchange sparked by Rika Izumi, who plays Nami and interprets for the reindeer.

You’d think the reindeer playing Chopper was CGI, but it appears they used a real reindeer, which really conveys the creators’ level of commitment.
