[Kansai-area Local] Compilation of Local Commercials Aired in Kansai (131–140)
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.
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.
eo Kansai Electric SOS “Hero Interview” Version
Kanden SOS commercial, “Hero Interview” version.
This piece can be seen as a sequel to the “Close Play” version, a commercial that portrays home security through a baseball analogy.
The story features a player who, with a brilliant pitch, gets the burglar—well, the opposing team’s batter—out, and then receives a hero interview.
Since the narrative connects across the series like this, you’ll enjoy it more if you watch them in sequence.
Also, pay attention to the phrases in the interview that cleverly play on both security and baseball.
Kyoto Bank
As a regional bank in Kyoto beloved by locals, Kyoto Bank’s commercials are familiar and memorable for people in Kansai.
The ads with the catchphrase “A loooong-lasting relationship” are full of humor.
They’re known for featuring long objects, and so far they’ve shown things like long daikon radishes, blackboards, batons, and cleaning rags.
When the narration stretches out “looooooong” while showing lots of long items, you can’t help but keep your eyes glued to the screen.
More recently, the Kyoto Bank Senryu Theater—a series of drama-style commercials based on senryu poems—has also left a strong impression.
Yakiniku Shokudoen
Shokudoen is a yakiniku (grilled meat) restaurant chain centered in Osaka.
It has a long history, and many commercials have aired over the years, but the ones best known are probably those that end with the sung phrase “Yakiniku no Shokudoen.” In one ad, the restaurant’s executive chef eats their signature Hana-ami Kalbi, with the cooking process shown to emphasize the passion behind the product.
The tense atmosphere used to introduce the specialty, contrasted with the bright phrase at the end, is another fun touch that makes the jingle even more memorable.
It’s a commercial that conveys both their firm commitment to quality meat and their wish for customers to feel welcome to drop by casually.
