Nice commercial: Nippon Life, Daisuke Takahashi, “Daisuke Bottle” version, ♪ Yuzu / Hikare

Nippon Life Mirai Factory: ‘Future Form 20s 30s Self-Dialogue’ Edition

Nice commercial: Nippon Life, Junichi Okada, “Mirai no Katachi” trilogy (three-part series)

It’s a commercial set in a curious world where versions of the same person at different ages gather in one place and consult one another about age-specific worries.

To keep their past self from struggling, the future self offers various pieces of advice—lending persuasive power that comes from overlapping ages and firsthand knowledge of the past.

While it basically has the feel of advice from one’s elders, it ultimately comes from oneself, so the compatibility shines through because the mindset is the same.

Through light, effortless dialogue, it nudges the present self to realize how they should act now.

V6’s Junichi Okada’s performance—portraying himself at a range of ages—is also a standout highlight.

Nice CM - Nippon Life - Junichi Okada, Yuto Nakajima: 'The Shape of the Future: 20s - Passionate Senior Okada' Edition

A very striking commercial featuring a passionate message from Junichi Okada, who appears as the senior colleague of Yuto Nakajima playing an office worker.

While it delivers a strong message—“Don’t insure yourself”—it also presents the idea that you should get life insurance while you’re young.

It’s a commercial for ‘Twenties,’ an insurance plan aimed at people in their 20s.

Nippon Life Mirai Factory ‘Future Forms 20s Self-Questioning: Marriage Partner’ VersionJunichi Okada

Nice commercial: Nippon Life, Junichi Okada, “Mirai no Katachi” trilogy (three-part series)

It’s a funny commercial featuring Junichi Okada at ages ranging from his 20s to his 50s.

Whether it’s special makeup or not, each version of him looks perfectly matched to the era.

The Junichi Okada in his 20s, living in the present, is curious about what the future holds, but they won’t tell him because it would spoil the fun.

However, when he mentions the name of the girlfriend he’s currently dating, they respond with an “Ahh…” and a somewhat awkward reaction.

That just makes him even more curious, doesn’t it? (lol)

Nippon Life Mirai Factory “Mirai no Katachi: Three Major Illness Protection Insurance” Edition

Nippon Life Future-Creation Story: 'Future Form Three Major Illnesses Protection Insurance' Kei Tanaka

This is a commercial that uses the classic song Layla by Derek and the Dominos.

When you think of Layla, the intro guitar riff is famous, but in this commercial the piano passage from the interlude is used.

It gives the commercial a softer feel.
