Tokyo Gas “I’ll turn on Tokyo Gas’s electricity” version / “I’ll turn off Tokyo Gas’s electricity” versionTatsuya Fujiwara

Tokyo Gas: “I’ll turn on the electricity” version, 30-second ver.

Tokyo Gas - Turning Off the Lights, 30-second version

Told from a first-person perspective, this is a commercial promoting the fact that Tokyo Gas also provides electricity.

In the ad, Tatsuya Fujiwara appears in the room of someone who’s sleeping and says things like, “Sorry, I’m just going to turn on the lights,” and “I’ll turn off the lights.” But he makes a point of specifically saying “Tokyo Gas electricity.” The way “Tokyo Gas” is emphasized to an almost unnatural degree might make some viewers chuckle.

Still, it definitely leaves a strong impression that Tokyo Gas is in the electricity business, too.

Akagi Nyugyo SOF Spring Vanilla and Pudding Somehow Lord “Bamboo Grove A” Version / “Bamboo Grove B” Version

Soft Spring Vanilla and Pudding For some reason, Lord Uesama Bamboo Grove Arc A 15 seconds

Soft Spring Vanilla and Pudding Somehow Lord Uesama Bamboo Grove Edition B 15 seconds

This is a commercial for Sof, a product released by Akagi Nyugyo with the concept of “only the top of soft serve.” In line with the “just the top” concept, a bizarre character appears: a noble lord’s face with legs growing from it.

The surreal direction—showing him walking and running through a bamboo grove—is striking.

Many viewers probably couldn’t help but laugh at its unique, offbeat world.
