Takemoto Piano commercial: Collaboration version for the film “About a Certain Place in the Kinki Region”

This is the new commercial from Takemoto Piano, which had long been popular as the “commercial that makes babies stop crying.” After the passing of Kazuo Zaitsu in 2023, it hadn’t aired, but a new version has been on the air since 2024.

The video, said to have been produced with the help of AI, features the dancer who appeared in the classic commercials, and the familiar jingle is still there.

The one introduced here is the new version that collaborates with the film “About a Certain Place in the Kinki Region.” It’s striking how the line “Please sell me your piano” has been rearranged to “Please watch the movie!”

In a commercial showing people working in manufacturing on the factory floor, a senryu featured in the ad touches on their uniforms.

The uniforms get increasingly dirty during daily manufacturing work, but they aren’t something to be seen as filthy—rather, the grime is a badge of honor earned through hard work.

The ad powerfully captures how cool and admirable these individuals look as they face the craft of making things with serious dedication.

This time, the thing that’s gotten really long is—believe it or not—a cleaning rag.

More than fifteen elementary school kids are lined up in a row, using a single rag to clean.

Kyoto Bank’s ads always make you wonder, “What’s the theme this time?” and get you excited.

Kansai Electric Power All-Electric ‘Man from the Future: Kitchen’ VersionTakanori Iwata

Kansai Electric Power - All-Electric Home “Man From the Future: Kitchen” Version

In this commercial, Takanori Iwata appears before a man who’s considering renovating his home and recommends going all-electric.

At first, the man isn’t quite convinced and asks, “What’s so good about going all-electric?” But the moment he uses a pair of glasses from Iwata that let him see the future—and glimpses his all-electric home—he’s completely won over.

In the latter half of the commercial, it highlights how easy it is to adopt an all-electric setup, noting that you can start by remodeling just the kitchen or bathroom, and that in some cases subsidies are available.
