[Nagoya Commercials] Aichi Prefecture Local Commercials Compilation (41–50)
Top camera
This is a commercial for Top Camera, which still has a store in Nagoya, that aired in the 1990s.
The original song that uses the store’s address as its lyrics is extremely catchy, and many people are sure to recognize it.
The scene where a woman playing a store clerk whispers, “We want to offer lower prices than anywhere else,” is particularly memorable.
Ryusenji Water Park
Ryusenji Water Park was an outdoor pool that once existed in Moriyama Ward, a district in the northeastern part of Nagoya.
Sadly, it closed down in 2016, but after its opening in 1989 it was frequently featured in local Chukyo-area TV commercials throughout the 1990s.
In the early days, the popular waterslide was portrayed with a foreign woman screaming as she went down; by the 2000s, the commercials had shifted to scenes of Japanese couples and families having fun.
It’s interesting how you can feel the changing trends in commercial production!
Aichi Prefectural Election Administration Commission: Web Advertisement Videos for the 27th Regular Election of Members of the House of Councillors — “Early Voting” Edition / “For Young Voters” Edition / “Up to Two Days Before Election Day” EditionRena Matsui
This is a commercial featuring Rena Matsui—who is from Aichi Prefecture and was also active as a former member of SKE48—encouraging early voting and election participation among younger generations.
In addition to explaining the details of the early voting system, the “For Young People” segment highlights that voting rights begin at age 18, and it memorably urges people to vote using the relatable keyword ‘oshi’ (a favorite or someone you support) for younger audiences.
I think the casting and direction are well linked in this CM.
Fujitaya’s large an-maki (sweet red bean roll)
This is a commercial for Fujitaya, one of the most popular sellers of anmaki, a famed confectionery of Chiryu City in Aichi Prefecture.
The narration says they insist on handmaking the treats on the day they are shipped so customers can enjoy them at their best, which really conveys how delicious they must be.
Sushi Hall Kitahachi
This is a commercial for the sushi restaurant Sushi Kaikan Kitahachi in Nagoya.
It depicts a conversation between a man who boasts about being a sushi lover and his acquaintance.
When the man says that rice is called “shari,” ginger is “gari,” and tea is “agari,” his acquaintance delivers a clever comeback: “Then what about sushi? Sushi is Kitahachi.” Many people probably remember this witty, stylish twist.
Meitetsu Group Meitetsu × WAO! “Doctor Helicopter” Version / “Atsuta nagAya” VersionKenichi Takitō
This commercial, which features the Meitetsu Group’s management vision slogan “Meitetsu × WAO!” and introduces its various businesses, stars Kenichi Takitō, an actor from Nagoya.
In the CM, it’s revealed that Meitetsu Group is involved with doctor helicopters deployed nationwide and the commercial facility atsuta nagAya, and Takitō plays two roles to present the details.
