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.
Kansai Electric Power: “What We Can Do for the Environment” (Edition)Sadao Abe
It portrays Sadao Abe steadily working on things he can do in his daily life “for the environment.” In the latter half of the commercial, it introduces the initiatives Kansai Electric Power is undertaking to reduce carbon dioxide emissions when generating electricity.
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!
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!
Taihei Construction Industry
If you watch Hanshin baseball broadcasts, you might find this familiar.
It’s a commercial for Taihei Construction Industry Co., Ltd., whose headquarters are in Kita Ward, Osaka City.
Because it’s so simple, once you see it, it sticks in your head.
There are several versions of the commercial, and they’re compiled on the official website, so if you’re thinking, “What was that like again?”, be sure to check it out.

Ujimoritoku Kaori-chan
This is a commercial for Uji Moritoku, a tea manufacturer and retailer headquartered in Osaka.
The series typically features the mascot character Kaori-chan, and many people will recognize the sound logo that says “Kaori-chan” at the start of the ad.
By the way, in 2019 the character design was refreshed with the debut of the second-generation Kaori-chan.
Kyobashi Grand Chateau
The Kyobashi Grand Chateau Building offers all kinds of leisure activities, from saunas and baths to karaoke.
When it comes to its commercials, the catchy jingle in full-on Osaka dialect—so quintessentially “THE Osaka”—really leaves an impression.
The lyrics themselves are simple: there’s a place called Grand Chateau in Kyobashi, so please come visit.
But because it’s sung in thick Osaka dialect, it sticks in your head! The commercials come in all sorts of styles too—some with story-like plots, others like comedy sketches—keeping you endlessly entertained.
