MOW “Beloved Vanilla: I Am a Vanilla Lover” 30-second version

This commercial shows Yumi Kawai—who calls herself a vanilla lover—eating MOW in a park.

MOW falls under the “ice cream” category, which means it belongs to the classification with the highest levels of milk solids and milk fat among frozen desserts.

Kawai mentions that, takes a bite… and is amazed.

After that, she can’t stop scooping.

Just watching her makes the deliciousness come through loud and clear, doesn’t it?

Seven-Eleven “God and Bread”NEW!Sho Sakurai, Masaki Aiba, Yuki Amami

TV commercial “God and Bread” 30 seconds

It’s a commercial where Sho Sakurai and Masaki Aiba, playing store clerks, introduce bread sold at 7-Eleven, and their counterpart is Yuki Amami playing a god.

The story is that they propose breads to the god, who’s searching for a particular one, and Sakurai and Aiba each offer a delicious-looking bread.

The god eats them both with apparent enjoyment, but it seems neither is the bread she’s been looking for.

Just as the two are about to give up and head back, the god calls out to Aiba and asks about the bread he’s holding.

Could that bread be the one she’s been searching for?

Nissin Foods Frozen Nissin Chinese La Jiao Tantanmen “The sesame might be rich, you know” versionNEW!Razor Ramon RG

Frozen Nissin Chuka Spicy Chili Tantanmen CM “Maybe the sesame is rich” version 30 seconds / Razor Ramon RG

This is a commercial introducing Nissin Chuka Spicy Tantanmen, a frozen meal you can eat just by sprinkling with water and heating it in the microwave.

In a retro music-show-style set, Razor Ramon RG passionately sings a parody of KAN’s ‘Ai wa Katsu.’ Between verses, a narrator explains how to prepare it and describes its flavors, but RG himself only sings, “The sesame might be rich.” The gag unfolds like his signature bit where he keeps singing, “I wanna say the relatable thing already,” and it’s sure to make you chuckle.
