Awaji World Park ONOKORO
Awaji Island has recently become popular for its stylish cafes, restaurants, and attractions.
But the commercial for Awaji World Park ONOKORO still has that classic, over-the-top Kansai comedy vibe that makes you laugh in spite of yourself.
It relentlessly answers the very first question everyone wonders—“So where exactly is that?”—with an unforgettable character who just won’t let up.
The way they compare famous things from countries like India and Spain to the shape of Awaji Island, pointing them out with a finger, is hilariously quirky and so captivating you can’t look away!
Sangaria
Sangaria is an Osaka-based company that has been selling a variety of soft drinks—such as canned coffee and carbonated beverages—since the 1970s.
Lately, it’s best known as the company behind “Mikkuchu Juuchu,” a mixed juice that could be called the soul drink of Kansai.
Their commercials feature comedians and TV personalities, and the catchy jingle “Ichi, ni, Sangaria” sung rhythmically leaves a strong impression.
With a nostalgic, local-commercial vibe, Sangaria’s ads are often introduced as quintessential examples of regional commercials.
Hanaten Used Car Center
Hanaten Used Car Center, which had been selling used cars mainly in the Kansai region since the 1960s, is now a subsidiary of Bigmotor.
In its TV commercial, a sexy woman appears, and the lines “Who on earth are you?” and “Are you selling your car? I’ll pay a high price” became a hot topic.
The presentation, clearly aimed at men, feels very much of its time and oozes that local-commercial vibe.
The sound logo at the end—“Hanaten Used Car Center”—somehow really sticks in your head.

HEP FIVE
When you go to Umeda in Osaka, your eyes are drawn to the red Ferris wheel on top of a building.
Its flashy look might surprise first-time visitors.
That building is HEP FIVE, a well-known fashion mall among the younger generation in Kansai.
And its commercials have long featured the comedian Egashira 2:50.
Whether quirky, high-energy, stylish, or surreal, they always make a big impact.
But since it’s a place where Kansai teens gather, that level of punch feels just right!
World Farm: “Animals All Together!” Edition
World Ranch, located in Minamikawachi District, Osaka Prefecture, is a theme park where the big draw is getting up close with lots of animals, and the commercial really showcases that appeal by featuring many different creatures.
In the “All the Animals Gather” version, animals appear one after another in a lively rhythm along with their calls, making it a spot that’s likely to be popular with kids.
The use of Kansai dialect—like gyōsan meaning “a lot” and irote na meaning “go ahead and touch”—also adds a friendly, local-commercial feel.
Itami Sangyo Co., Ltd.
The Itami Sangyo commercials are often heard not only on TV but also on the radio.
Many people in the Kansai region will recognize the sound logo “Ii ne, ii ne, Itami mai” and the phrase “Itami Sangyō-jin.” By the way, many may not know that Itami Sangyo also handles infrastructure like electricity and gas.
It’s a company engaged in a wide range of businesses, including the sale of electricity, gas, and rice.
Electrical Materials Buyback Center “Jump” Edition
This is the commercial for the Electrical Materials Buying Center, “Jump,” which operates mainly in the Kansai region.
In this version, two women jump while conveying the shop’s appeal.
The atmosphere is so fun that watching it makes you want to visit.
