[Kansai Local] Compilation of Local Commercials Aired in Kansai (61–70)
Kinosaki Marine World
A very Kansai-style, straight-down-the-middle approach: the Kinosaki Marine World commercial that goes all in on dolphins.
A dolphin pops its head out of the water and, head-on, grabs viewers’ hearts with an irresistibly cute expression.
It’s more than enough to make you think, “I want to go meet this dolphin!” The final shot, filmed with a fisheye lens, shows Marine World as if seen from a sea creature’s perspective, making it a commercial that captivates fans with a clear, easy-to-grasp setup—sea and dolphins.
Minoh Onsen Spa Garden
Minoh Onsen Spa Garden, located in Minoh City, Osaka Prefecture, opened in the 1960s as a facility where, in addition to hot springs, visitors could enjoy a variety of leisure activities such as a pool, skating, and a bowling alley.
It is currently operated by the Ooedo Onsen Monogatari Group, and features large baths and popular theater performances.
The most memorable aspect of the Spa Garden’s TV commercials is undoubtedly the sound logo.
It has been used in commercials for many years, and many people in the Kansai region—regardless of age—can probably sing it.
Super Tamade
The commercial for Super Tamade, Osaka’s famed ultra-cheap store known to those in the know, perfectly captures that Kansai-local vibe.
It’s basically a neighborhood supermarket that people outside the Kansai area wouldn’t normally know about, but thanks to the ad featuring a man in eye-popping, bright yellow suit jacket and pants who relentlessly repeats the store’s name, its recognition has skyrocketed.
Just by watching the footage you can pick up the key info—rock-bottom prices, open 24 hours—and above all, the sheer boldness and cheerful energy that drill the store’s name into your memory are truly impressive!
Midori Denka
Midori Denka was a consumer electronics retailer that once operated mainly in the Kansai region.
After a management integration, its stores gradually transitioned into Edion locations.
Among Midori Denka’s commercials, the most memorable were the ones featuring its image character, Midori-chan.
Her catchphrase was “I’ll give it a try,” which conveyed a proactive attitude aligned with meeting customers’ needs.
Another notable point was her singing—not exactly skillful, but striking nonetheless.
It gave the impression that the brand emphasized straightforward sincerity, even to the point of being a little rough around the edges.
Kawasaki Clinic
Kawasaki Clinic opened in 1990 as a cosmetic surgery clinic in Nara Prefecture.
Its catchy, upbeat commercial jingle—where the name “Kawasaki Clinic” is sung repeatedly—really sticks with you.
Anyone from the Kansai region has probably heard it.
There are several versions of the commercial: one where members of the public and clinic staff take turns singing a phrase in a relay, and another that uses a jingle arranged in the style of a superhero squad show.
St. John’s ChurchHelen Nishikawa, Kanoko Nishikawa
A commercial familiar to people in Kansai featuring Kiyoshi Nishikawa’s wife Helen and their daughter Kanoko.
It evokes a sense of nostalgia for the era when many women dreamed of weddings held in beautiful churches with luxurious wedding dresses.
The softly hazy visuals create an atmosphere that invites you into a dream world.
In contrast, the playful, down-to-earth banter between the mother and daughter is fun and memorable.
It’s a nostalgic commercial that everyone can feel both affection for and admiration toward!
Beauty Salon
A light, romantic melody plays in the background, soft flowers fill the screen, and a ballet dancer continues to move with graceful elegance…
This refined commercial, with its subtly Showa-era atmosphere, is a familiar sight to people in Kansai.
Bishokan is a long-loved hair salon with many locations in Osaka and Hyogo.
Its catchy, nostalgic jingle and the ever-enchanting ballet—no matter the era—may be why it continues to be cherished across generations.
