Lion commercials: from oral care products to household goods.

Speaking of Lion, in addition to oral care products such as toothpaste, the company handles a wide range of household items, including laundry detergents and dishwashing liquids.

Many of Lion’s products are so well-known that almost everyone has heard of them, making them feel very familiar to us—and that’s arguably thanks in part to their frequently aired commercials.

In this article, we’ll showcase Lion’s commercials all at once.

Along with the star-studded casts, another highlight is how each commercial reveals the target audience for its respective product, so keep an eye out for those aspects as you watch.

Systema Toothbrush “Interrogation Room, Continued” ver. / 15 seconds / LION

In the Systema toothbrush commercial “Interrogation Room: Continued,” Junichi Okada appears as a detective conducting an interrogation, questioning a woman about her criteria for choosing a toothbrush.

When the woman says she chose by color, Okada leans in and loudly insists, “You have to choose by how thin the head is!” It then explains that the Systema toothbrush head is 3 mm thin, highlighting that this allows it to reach deep into the back of the mouth.

LION Bufferin Premium ‘Premium-kun’ Version

Bufferin Premium “Mr. Premium” Version / 15 seconds / LION

This commercial highlights how quickly you can feel the effects of Bufferin Premium, while also addressing the kind of concerns that arise precisely because it works so well.

A key point is that it also contains ingredients that protect the stomach, and this reassurance is what makes it easy to use when you’re in pain.

Through the lighthearted conversation with “Premium-kun,” the balance of effectiveness and peace of mind is portrayed in a comedic tone, clearly conveying that it’s easy to use.

A promotional commercial introducing OCH-TUNE, which comes in two types: FAST, known for its quick foaming, and SLOW, known for its rich, dense foam.

In this ad, Alice Hirose presents the flavor of FAST, while Mitsuki Takahata showcases the foam of SLOW.

It’s a commercial that clearly highlights the distinct appeal of each product.

LION SOFLAN Premium Deodorizer: “Flying Pickup” VersionMuro Tsuyoshi, Emma Miyazawa

[Emma Miyazawa × Sumire Koido × Tsuyoshi Muro] Lion Soflan Premium Deodorizer “Flying Laundry Retrieval” TV Commercial

This is a commercial for Lion’s fabric softener Soflan, and when I watched it wondering what the “early take-in” in the title meant… it turns out to be bringing in the laundry before it’s fully dry! Many people have probably done this “early take-in,” and when you do, the laundry often ends up smelling later.

However, the ad strongly appeals that if you use Soflan, even if you bring the laundry in early, it won’t smell!! Also, don’t miss Tsuyoshi Muro’s wonderful smile!

Soflan Aroma Rich 2020Yui Aragaki

[LION] Soflan Aroma Rich [Yui Aragaki] 30-second commercial

This commercial promotes how long the scent of Soflan Aroma Rich lasts, conveyed through Yui Aragaki’s personal impressions.

By talking about her dissatisfaction with previous fabric softeners—whose fragrance would change between the time of use and wearing—it communicates that Aroma Rich offers a quality unlike anything before.

The way her expression shifts to a smile as she senses the fragrance also powerfully evokes the richness of the scent.

The song that underscores the gently airy atmosphere depicted in the visuals is JYOCHO’s “Hikari Atsumete Oide yo.” Its softly acoustic arrangement is striking, and the tenderness in the vocals truly helps to calm the heart.

Lion Soflan Aroma Rich ‘Zattō’ VersionYuriko Yoshitaka

Yuriko Yoshitaka CM Soflan Aroma Rich “Crowd” Version

This commercial uses drama-like visuals to portray how Soflan Aroma Rich might help you relax through the clothes and accessories you wear.

In everyday moments, Yuriko Yoshitaka takes a deep breath, and the scarf washed with Aroma Rich releases a rich fragrance that helps calm her mind.

Further enhancing the gentle atmosphere of the visuals is the song “Swallowtail Butterfly ~Ai no Uta~” by YEN TOWN BAND.

The vocals—delicate yet layered over a serene sound—leave a strong impression and convey a reassuring warmth.
