Meiji Chocolate Kouka: “Even Before Chocolate-sensei Says ‘Itadakimasu’”Kanji Ishimaru
This is a commercial for Chocolate Kouka featuring Kanji Ishimaru as a character called Dr.
Choco.
It promotes the product as being rich in dietary fiber and cocoa polyphenols, and recommends eating it before meals.
However, when Dr.
Choco suddenly appears in the middle of a family gathering, everyone in the family gives him a suspicious look and asks, “Who are you?”, creating an indescribably surreal atmosphere.
Meiji Chocolate Effect: “The Return of Professor Choco” EditionKanji Ishimaru
A comical piece featuring Kanji Ishimaru as Mr.
Chocolate.
In response to the parrot’s question, “What’s the deciding factor when choosing high-cacao chocolate?”, his deadpan PR pitch—“The amount of cocoa polyphenols.
Amount, amount, amount.”—is hilarious for its utter lack of guile.
I’m also impressed by the perfect timing of the parrot’s punchy interjections that fuel the laughs!
Meiji Bulgaria Yogurt: “#Furu-Dori Yogurt” EditionHanazawa
Here is a commercial that introduces arrangement recipes for the drink-type Meiji Bulgaria Yogurt.
Nanoka Hara appears in it, and guided by a “voice from above,” she tries arrangement recipes using fruit juice.
Hara’s innocent demeanor is adorable, making it a commercial you’ll want to watch over and over again.
Meiji Dual Skincare Yogurt “Post-Bath Girl” VersionAya Ueto
This is a commercial in which Aya Ueto empathizes with the concerns women have after getting out of the bath and recommends Meiji W Skincare Yogurt as a solution.
It also addresses doubts about how yogurt can help with skincare, clearly explaining the mechanism behind its effects.
The ad highlights that it supports the skin’s ability to retain moisture, leading to healthy hydration.
With her smiling and speaking directly to the viewer, it also conveys a sense of reassurance.
Meiji “Delicious?” VersionAya Ueto
Aya Ueto is shown in the middle of making a sign, and when you look at her hands, you can see she has written up to “Meiji Oishii.” A man passing by says, “Is it Oishii Gyunyu (Delicious Milk)?” but that’s incorrect.
The text Ueto continues to write is “Oishii Fresh Cream.” True to the product’s name, the ad emphasizes how delicious it is, and it likely made many people think, “Maybe I should buy it.”
Meiji Hohoemi “Good things at the start.” Edition
Presented as a monologue by a pregnant woman, this is a commercial for Hohoemi baby formula.
As she prepares to welcome her baby—getting things like onesies and a bed ready—she chooses Hohoemi as her first formula.
The calm atmosphere and pure impression of the commercial leave a very favorable impression.
