This is a 1992 Pantene commercial featuring pianist Keiko Ohnishi.

The fact that Pantene chose not only models but even a pianist as a commercial figure suggests how strongly the brand focuses on beautiful hair.

It has a lovely atmosphere.

The song has an 80s vibe, with a very prominent bass.

It wouldn’t be surprising if Tatsuro Yamashita’s vocals came in right after this 30-second spot.

If this were a four-minute track, DJs would definitely be sampling it for their mixes.

It stages a battle over whose hair is more beautiful: Haruka Ayase or a junior high school girl.

So, who will emerge victorious…?

This commercial shows that using Pantene keeps your hair supple until morning and helps your color last longer.

Kazunari Ninomiya appears as a stylist recommending Pantene, and the gentle way he speaks conveys a sense of reassurance about the brand.

It also features people touching their own hair, clearly showing what the final result looks like—another key point of the ad.
