Asakusa ROX
Asakusa ROX opened in 1986 and, as a multi-purpose commercial complex, offers a wide range of facilities from shopping to leisure.
This commercial features a distinctive, imaginative world that reflects Asakusa ROX’s broad scope.
It shows people of various ages, dressed in outfits that evoke angels, walking around; the lively gathering of people conveys intergenerational connections.
The message suggests that because there are so many different facilities, people of all ages can share smiles together.
Western Japan termite
Nishinihon Shiroari is a pest control company headquartered in Kagoshima City, Kagoshima Prefecture.
Its nationwide recognition grew after its commercials were featured on video-sharing sites and variety shows.
Although the company was founded in 1960, it began attracting attention around 2003 with distinctive commercials, including parodies of dramas and anime.
A consistent element from the start has been a storyline in which a person dressed as a termite appears in a scene that feels oddly familiar, and someone tries to exterminate it—an eye-catching and amusing approach.
In conclusion
We introduced a wide array of local commercials, from nostalgic ones we used to see as kids to the very latest spots.

I hope you not only looked up commercials from your own hometown, but also enjoyed discovering those from other regions.
