Takemoto Piano AI Dance “Everyone Together in a Circle” Version
This is a renewed commercial that keeps the long-beloved Takemoto Piano jingle while updating the visuals with AI.
This version features a gentle arrangement of the music, matched by a surreal world where a giraffe in a tuxedo performs a relaxed dance.
The appearance of a giraffe playing the piano highlights the piano itself, while the telephone in the background underscores the desire for viewers to make inquiries by phone.
Kyoto Mukocho Keirin
This is a stylish commercial that overlays the exhilaration of the races at Kyoto Mukocho Velodrome with the image of the Shinsengumi.
The highlight is the comical depiction of the Shinsengumi riding bicycles through the town, which conveys both the dynamism of the sport and the history of Kyoto.
It also gives the impression that the tense visuals express a sense of anticipation about what kind of drama will unfold.
Nara Kotsu (Nara Transportation)
This Nara Kotsu commercial, a cornerstone of transportation within Nara Prefecture, is brimming with Nara’s unique character.
It shows two women about to board a bus at a stop near Nara Park, surrounded by many deer.
While this scene might astonish people from other prefectures, it’s perfectly ordinary around Nara Park.
The old bus livery, no longer seen today, also evokes a sense of nostalgia.
Furniture Salon Ryoka
This is a commercial that promotes the dedication of Furniture Salon Ryoka, which not only sells furniture but also offers repairs, all in a refreshing tone.
It leaves a strong impression of their commitment to quality and clearly conveys their desire to support users in leading comfortable lives.
It also effectively highlights the open house of model rooms at a housing exhibition site, expressing the wish for people to see things in person and feel their craftsmanship—elements that the commercial seems to depict.
Izutsu Yatsuhashi Honpo Yuko
This commercial brightly introduces Yuko, the signature confection from Izutsu Yatsuhashi Honpo and a classic Kyoto souvenir.
The unique look— a woman with a photographic face and an illustrated body—conveys a light, breezy mood as she moves.
Her constant smile throughout is an important touch, expressing not only how delicious Yuko is, but also its convenience and friendly appeal.
The segment featuring limited-edition flavors builds anticipation and heightens the excitement of visiting Kyoto.
Takemoto Piano AI Dance “More and More” Version
This commercial keeps Takemoto Piano’s signature jingle as is, while updating the visuals using AI.
It portrays a unique world where giraffes in tuxedos dance, conveying a clear sense of fun amid the strangeness.
A giraffe plays the piano in time with the music, a giant phone appears in the background, and the visuals trace the lyrics—all of which leave a strong impression.
KBS Kyoto “Kyotoites” Version
This is a commercial that introduces SDGs initiatives in Kyoto, showing how the goal of “building sustainable cities and communities” is being realized.
It highlights the ingenuity involved in preserving the old townscape and the community’s love for their region, conveyed through the narration by Ayashichi Bridgman.
It also communicates aspects of Kyoto’s culture, such as how important the town’s fire-watch calls are as they echo through the streets.
