Kyoto Bank Commercial Compilation [A Long, Long Relationship] (1–10)

Kyoto Bank “Birthday Cake” Edition

Kyoto Bank TV commercial

Here’s a TV commercial from Kyoto Bank, known for its catchphrase “A loooong relationship.” In this “Birthday Cake” version, we see a lively grandpa at his birthday party blow out, in one go and to the cheers of his children and grandchildren, the many candles set on an extra-long birthday cake.

You can really feel the family love.

Even so, his lung capacity is astonishing—when we counted the candles, there were over 80 of them.

The housing loan offered by Kyoto Bank is being introduced with an emphasis on how easy the screening process is.

You can easily apply for screening using your smartphone, and it’s promoted that the preliminary screening results can come out in as little as 15 minutes.

The commercial features soft-touch illustrations, creating a very friendly atmosphere.

Kyoto Bank “Daikon” Version

[The Kyoto Bank] “Daikon” Version, 15 seconds

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 Senryu Theater Episode 5: “So Happy”

[The Bank of Kyoto] Kyogin Senryu Theater, Episodes 1–8 [All 8 Types]

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’

[The Bank of Kyoto] Kyogin Senryu Theater, Episodes 1–8 [All 8 Types]

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”

[The Bank of Kyoto] Kyogin Senryu Theater, Episodes 1–8 [All 8 Types]

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 “Soccer” Version

Kyoto Bank Soccer (July 2005) Namba Branch Opening

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.”
