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.
Japan Rent-a-Car
This commercial that sparked the reaction, “What are they doing to a rented car?!” is for Japan Rent-A-Car, a company with stores mainly in Aichi Prefecture.
In the ‘8-Passenger Vellfire – Summer’ version, it shows people performing parkour tricks using the rented Vellfire, making for a striking, hard-hitting presentation.
Many of you may also remember Japan Rent-A-Car’s ads that promote their 24-hour operation and affordable rates.
Aichi Small Elevators
The commercial for Aichi Small Elevator Manufacturing Co., which makes elevators, is incredibly impactful.
In particular, the scene where an elderly man in a wheelchair rides a small elevator, plays the shamisen, and shouts, “It’s convenient to have, inconvenient without!” is unforgettable once you’ve seen it.
There’s also a scene where an announcer asks someone who looks like a feudal lord riding a stair-climbing escalator, “How is the ride?”—it’s repeated so many times that it ends up sticking in your head.
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!
Yu-topia Takara
This is a commercial for Yu~topia Takara that highlights its appeal by focusing on numbers—such as the variety of baths and relaxation options, the number of manga and magazines, and the fact that it’s open 24 hours.
In the ad, the cast members take turns singing the sound logo, and many viewers likely remember the earnest expression of the boy who appears third.
