Kyoto Bank Senryu Theater Episode 5: “So Happy”
When we were kids, many of us probably had the experience of being so happy about something our parents bought us that we wore it or carried it around even without using it.
That adorable scene is depicted in this commercial.
A senryu poem describes a boy who, after getting a baseball glove, falls asleep with it still on his hand.
It might make some people feel nostalgic, thinking, “I did something like that too.”
Kyoto Bank Senryu Theater Episode 6: ‘A Little Play’
This is a very endearing commercial depicting a man eagerly awaiting a visit from his grandchild.
Expecting the child to come, he prepares lots of toys and waits, but the grandchild doesn’t seem to arrive.
Eventually, the man, tired of waiting, starts playing with the grandchild’s toys himself.
Seeing this, the woman playing his wife smiles gently—a heartwarming development in the commercial.
The Bank of Kyoto Senryu Theater Episode 4: “Grandma”
This commercial, portrayed through a senryu about a conversation between a grandmother and her grandchild, delivers a striking moment of insight.
In this installment of the Senryu Theater, the grandchild asks the grandmother, “What do you want to be?” That question is typically used when asking about someone’s dreams for the future and isn’t usually directed at adults.
Yet, asked with a child’s pure heart, it makes us adults realize, “It’s okay to imagine who we want to become at any age!” In the final scene of the commercial, the actress playing the grandmother is shown running a marathon, and watching her makes you feel like taking on a new challenge yourself.
Kyoto Bank “Daikon” Version
Among Kyoto Bank’s commercials, this is likely one that many people find especially memorable.
It features a scene of harvesting daikon radishes in a field, but the radishes are so long that they’re hard to pull out.
It’s one entry in a series of ads expressing the bank’s catchphrase, “A lo-o-ong relationship,” and it’s brimming with playful, impactful charm.
Kyoto Bank “Soccer” Version
This commercial shows a goalkeeper defending the goal during a soccer penalty kick.
When the whistle blows and the ball is struck, the keeper dives to the left—but the goal stretches endlessly to the left.
The keeper keeps flying as if swimming through the air, and in the end, he wonderfully manages to catch the ball.
It’s a humorous ad that perfectly captures Kyoto Bank’s slogan, “A loooong relationship.”

Kyoto Bank: “Doctor Pi (π) = 3.141592…” Version
It shows a foreigner who looks like a doctor in a lab coat writing some numbers on a blackboard.
In fact, those numbers are pi! Many people probably don’t know what comes after 3.14, do they? Pi goes on forever, and the blackboard is long enough to keep writing it… It’s a commercial with a clever sense of humor that expresses a “long-lasting relationship.”
Kyoto Bank “Floor Wiping” Edition
When it comes to Kyoto Bank commercials, the familiar catchphrase that makes you want to say “This is the one!” is the ‘Looong relationship’ series.
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.
