[Kansai Region Local] Compilation of Local Commercials Aired in Kansai (1–10)
Nanki-Shirahama Adventure World
This is a commercial that promotes what Nanki-Shirahama Adventure World is like by showcasing the animals there and the atmosphere of its events.
The dynamic energy of the animals is a key point; the joy of seeing these lively creatures comes through clearly via visitors’ smiles.
It highlights not only daytime scenes but also nighttime events, conveying that you can enjoy a full, satisfying day until the very end.
With its light, upbeat song and the phrase “feel nature,” the video communicates that it’s a place where you can sense and enjoy nature.
Kansai TV
This is a commercial where Hachiemon, the station character of Kansai TV (Kantele), shows comical movements and highlights its relaxed cuteness.
The Hachiemons that appear here have beaks in curious colors and, just when you’re wondering what will happen, their mouths flip inside out and they transform into sushi.
They transform in sync, and then nothing in particular happens afterward, which gives it a surreal kind of humor.
Including the narration style, the overall tone is laid-back.
Tojoko Toy Kingdom
This commercial introduces Tojoko Toy Kingdom through colorful animation, wholeheartedly showcasing the fun of being there.
The main character is a king who moves the action along, drawing everyone in and expanding the playful world, which really conveys the excitement of the Toy Kingdom.
While it does present the various campaigns on offer, it doesn’t use actual scenery, which only heightens anticipation about what the place is really like.
It’s a video that straightforwardly portrays the idea of a bright, colorful, and fun destination.
Matsumoto Moving Center
This commercial aims to make viewers remember Matsumoto Moving Center by its elephant character, using a phone call scenario to convey that message.
A girl answers a call from Matsumoto Moving Center and cheerfully says she likes elephants more than giraffes.
Since it’s the girl responding, there’s no conversation about moving itself, but the elephant character creates a strong sense of friendliness.
The warm atmosphere of the visuals suggests a user-friendly, approachable attitude.
Takimoto Butsukodo
This commercial conveys the idea that a Buddhist altar is an important way to express our feelings for our ancestors, and that Takimoto Bukkodo supports the bond with those ancestors.
What matters here is the act of joining one’s hands in prayer, calling on viewers to press their hands together and offer thanks to their ancestors.
Counting the ten fingers and linking that to saying “thank you” makes gratitude feel close and familiar.
The fact that a young girl delivers the message gives the impression that gratitude is something easy and approachable.
Kinki Industrial Credit Union “The Rice Shop Torakichi (4 times a year)” version
This commercial features Torakichi, the image character, cheerfully explaining that by using Kinki Sangyo Credit Union’s time deposit, you can receive rice four times a year.
The storyline has Torakichi delivering rice each season, and the playful remarks about how often he shows up convey Kinsan’s friendly vibe.
Torakichi’s constant smile is another highlight, adding a sense of reassurance.
Overall, it gives the impression that they’re emphasizing the reliability and quality of the rice as well.
Osaka Gas Water Heater Repair: ‘Re Re Re no Go Go Go’ EditionRozan
It’s really a problem when a water heater suddenly breaks down, isn’t it? In this commercial, for example, Mr.
Ujihara from Rozan runs into trouble when only cold water comes out of the shower while he’s taking a bath, or when he wants to do the dishes but can’t get any hot water.
That’s when Mr.
Suga, dressed in an Osaka Gas uniform, rushes to the rescue.
The way he smiles and says, “It’s all right,” looks so reassuring, and it seems Mr.
Ujihara feels relieved, too.
