[Kansai Region Local] Compilation of Local Commercials Aired in Kansai (111–120)
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.
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.
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.
Nara Dreamland
Nara Dreamland opened in 1961 and was loved as the prefecture’s signature amusement park until it closed in 2006.
This is a commercial introducing ASKA, the wooden coaster that symbolizes Nara Dreamland.
The presenters are members of Seikima-II, who powerfully urge viewers to be among the first to experience the Kansai region’s inaugural wooden coaster.
The twist where the demons are astonished by the coaster’s movements also heightens anticipation for the ride.
U-POHS
When he blows in sync with the line, the barcode hair goes fwoosh…
I’m pretty sure this was a local commercial from the Kansai region.
The comedy duo Haruka and Kanata Unabara appeared in this TV ad for U-POHS.
Since it’s a company that buys cars and sells used cars, Master Kanata Unabara recites a phone number that’s a pun on the phrase “If you’re selling your car, give us a call.” And the one on the receiving end of that breath is Master Haruka Unabara, with his classic 1-9 side-part hairstyle.
It’s a stunt—an ad—that only those two could pull off.
