Kyoto Bank Senryu Theater Episode 3: “Uniform”
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.
The Kyoto Bank Will Trust: “The Sooner, the Better” Version
This commercial opens with footage looking back on the female protagonist’s growth.
In each scene, her father gently says, “Isn’t it a bit early?” portraying him as laid-back and cautious.
The story then shifts to the present, where she and her mother are talking about her father.
It turns out he has passed away, but he had entrusted his will to Kyoto Bank.
The message encourages preparing a will trust early—sooner is better.
It’s a warm commercial that conveys the bonds of family.
Kansai Electric Power: “The People Who Support the Everyday”Nao Kosaka
This commercial begins with a scene where Nao Kosaka expresses her gratitude to her mother, who cooks meals every day, and to the man who cleans the streets.
It then highlights that Kansai Electric Power is generating electricity through various means to make everyday access to electricity possible.
Another key point is that they’re not just producing electricity, but doing so in ways that consider the global environment.
Daigas Group Sumika-ta Service “Overview” VersionRozan
This is a Daigas Group commercial introducing a service that quickly responds to common troubles in everyday life.
It shows the duo Rozan rushing to the scene in urgent situations such as water leaks, broken faucets, and clogged toilets.
The service covers a wide range of home maintenance needs, from air conditioner repairs and light bulb replacements to re-papering walls and replacing doors.
It conveys that they are a dependable ally for your home, handling everything from everyday inconveniences to major tasks that keep your life comfortable.
The commercial clearly and accessibly communicates the appeal of a service that supports you so you can live with peace of mind.
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.
Betsutora Kamaboko
Betsutora Kamaboko is a company in Kishiwada, Osaka that makes surimi products like kamaboko and chikuwa.
Speaking of their commercials, they’re memorable for a man singing a theme song like an enka ballad toward the sea and letting out a howl at the end.
The singer of this CM song—conveying the message that they’re working hard to make kamaboko—is actually the enka singer Ichiro Toba! Since the company sells products made from the bounty of the sea, choosing Toba, who’s strongly associated with the image of a seafaring man thanks to his song Brothers’ Ship, is a perfect fit.
The song itself leaves a strong impression, and many people in Kansai probably have it stuck in their heads even if they don’t usually listen to enka.
