Iris Ohyama Air Will “Fake Honesty” VersionRyo Yoshizawa

[Ryo Yoshizawa] Air Will “Fake Honesty” Version – 30 seconds

A series of commercials from Iris Ohyama featuring Ryo Yoshizawa as a straightforward, truth-telling CM planner named Shojiki Kaname.

In the “Fake Honesty” installment, a character called ‘Fake Shojiki Kaname?’ appears—making you wonder, what’s going on? It then turns suspenseful when you realize the real Kaname has been captured somewhere.

Iris Ohyama B2B Business: Cleaning Robot “M&M Cleaning” Edition / Energy Saving “M&M Lighting” EditionRyo Yoshizawa

This commercial portrays the idea that using Iris Ohyama’s cleaning robots and lighting can make a company run more efficiently, almost like a mischievous plot.

In a scenario where Ryo Yoshizawa schemes about what to implement in the company, it explains what the cleaning robots and lighting are like and how they can help.

The humorous moment where, with a serious expression, he says “M&M” instead of “M&A” and gets corrected is also quite memorable.

IRIS OHYAMA Packaged Rice: “Rice Pride – Hearts Connected Through Stocking Up” / “Rice-Growing with Loving Care” / “Instant Charge for a Beautiful Body” / “Munch Away with Peace of Mind – Domestic Rice”Ryuji Akiyama

This is a commercial for packaged rice featuring Ryuji Akiyama, who’s gaining attention for Creators File.

He appears as various characters and enters a singing contest, fully embodying each role.

He performs original songs tailored to each character, and every aspect—his singing style, gestures, and lyrics—is meticulously crafted, going beyond the realm of a typical commercial.

It’s a CM that you can’t help but watch intently and that leaves a deep impression.

Iris Ohyama’s commercials: their surreal, distinctive stories are so entertaining! (11–20)

Iris Ohyama Skimax “Sarikichi” Version / “Parking Lot” Version

“With land prices soaring, leaving gaps unused is an economic loss.” That’s the premise of this commercial, which explores how to make use of the space between a cupboard and a refrigerator.

Despite opening with such a stiff line, the next scene suddenly shifts to charming ideas: a child places a toy monkey there and even turns it into a parking lot for a toy car.

None of those ideas make the cut, though, and in the end they put a slim freezer called “Sukimax” in the gap.

It’s a witty ad with great pacing that keeps you watching right to the end!

Iris Ohyama Baby Diapers ‘Ooh, Genki!’ Version

Baby Diapers 'Ooh, Genki!' 15-second Version

Titled “Ooh—Genki!”, this commercial is a memorable diaper ad featuring energetic children spreading smiles.

It rhythmically highlights benefits like comfortable fit and reliable leak protection in sync with the music.

Just like the product name suggests, it’s a lively, upbeat ad that makes you feel brighter just by watching.

Iris Ohyama ‘Charge! The Ultimate Carbonation’ Version / ‘Charge! Refreshing Sensation’ VersionRyuya Miyase

Starting with a scene where the fizzing sound of carbonation plays over the school PA system, this is a commercial for the carbonated drink TANSAN X.

Ryuya Miyase introduces students to the product’s appeal, such as its strong carbonation and variety of flavors.

The refreshingly dynamic visuals leave a strong impression and really pique your interest.

IRIS OHYAMA OSH “Overwashing” EditionRyo Yoshizawa

[Ryo Yoshizawa] OSH “Washing Too Much” Version 30 Seconds

This commercial introduces how powerful Iris Ohyama’s washing machine is through a conversation with a distinctive tempo.

When the wife laments that the message written on a uniform got washed away, Ryo Yoshizawa reassures her by saying it’s his fault for switching to an Iris Ohyama washing machine.

Although he’s supposed to be comforting his wife, the way he occasionally looks at us is striking, making it clear that it’s really an appeal to the machine’s strong cleaning power.

It’s a strangely unsettling twist to complain about how well it cleans, and his unique facial expressions in that moment are memorable, aren’t they?
