A compilation of Kincho (Kinchō) commercials. The charm lies in their humorous direction! (1–10)
Dainihon Jochugiku Mushikonazu Premium “It Really Works on Mosquitoes” Version / “Just Hang It Right There” VersionNEW!Ayumu Nakashima, Masami Nagasawa
This is a series of commercials that elicit a chuckle with the interactions between Masami Nagasawa—who, for some reason, speaks in thick Kansai dialect—and Ayumu Nakajima, who’s overwhelmed by her momentum.
In the commercials, Nagasawa confidently explains and recommends the effectiveness of Mushi Konaz’s Premium, making it clear just how impressive the product is.
That said, you can’t help but be distracted by the very strong Kansai dialect she’s speaking, right?
KINCHO Combat “Defense” EditionYasuko
This is a Combat commercial in which the comedian Yasuko plays two roles by herself.
Wearing a long brown wig and dressed like a refined young lady, Yasuko says she’s afraid of cockroaches coming in.
Then, the familiar Yasuko in camouflage attire appears and explains that with Combat, there’s nothing to worry about.
Featuring Yasuko in an unusual look right from the start gives the commercial a very striking impact.
KINCHO Mosquito-Repelling Spray: “Paper Mosquito” EditionDiane
In the commercial for the mosquito-eliminating spray, “Paper Mosquito,” the comedy duo Diane appear in black outfits, giving off a cool vibe.
While we tend to think mosquitoes are always flying around, Yusuke reveals that they actually spend most of their time resting on walls and ceilings.
That’s why the correct way to deal with them is to spray the product on walls and ceilings in advance.
Tsuda quietly nodding along to Yusuke’s narration also leaves an impression, and the duo’s unusually suave demeanor creates a surreal, laugh-inducing contrast.
KINCHO Mushi-Konaazu Premium: “It really works on mosquitoes” / “Just hang it right there”Masami Nagasawa, Ayumu Nakajima
Many of you probably remember Masami Nagasawa’s intense Kansai dialect—it really leaves an impression, doesn’t it? Hearing the way she delivers her lines might even make you wonder, “Is she actually from Kansai?” The way she rapidly fires off Kansai-ben at Ayumu Nakajima is striking, and the contrast in their energy levels is another highlight.
It packs a punch and is so funny that you can’t help but want to watch it over and over again.
KINCHO Cockroach Mue-Ender “Husband’s Results”Kōji Yamamoto, Honami Satō
This memorable commercial, with a uniquely heavy, suspense-drama vibe, is an introduction to Cockroach Muender.
Koji Yamamoto speaks to his wife with a serious gaze, saying, “No matter what the outcome is, I will face it.” As you wonder what on earth he’s talking about, he sprays Cockroach Muender in a room and closes the door.
Thirty minutes later, he opens the room, and a scene shows a cockroach emerging from under the furniture and collapsing.
So what he was talking about at the beginning was cockroach extermination! By the way, it’s considerate that the commercial doesn’t show the cockroach directly, instead representing it with a plate labeled “Result.”
KINCHO Mushikonazu Premium ‘I didn’t hear that’Masami Nagasawa, Jiro (Sissonne)
At a secondhand bookstore run by Jiro from Sisonne, Masami Nagasawa notices an unfamiliar Mushikonazu insect repellent hanging at the storefront.
When she asks Jiro what it is, he replies that it’s the new Mushikonazu Premium.
But since she didn’t know it existed, she presses him, saying, “No one told me? How come I didn’t know?” It’s a commercial that leaves a strong impression thanks to Nagasawa’s natural Kansai dialect and the force of her delivery.
KINCHO Sassa Sassa Panda: “Screen/Floor” Version / “Shelf/Lamp” Version / “Schoolbag/Rolling Panda” Version
This is a commercial for the cleaning wipes “Sassa,” featuring an original character called Sassa Panda.
In each ad, Sassa Panda is shown blowing on something, giving it the fun feel of a segment from a children’s show.
Combined with the oddly catchy background music, it’s a commercial you’ll want to watch over and over.
