Pepsi commercial roundup. Introducing Suntory’s Pepsi series commercials! (11–20)
Suntory Pepsi “Shall we have Pepsi and KFC today?” version Kuruma Takahira, Nagano
It’s a truly surreal commercial showing Kuruma Takahira attempting Nagano’s routine under Nagano’s watchful eye.
In Nagano’s act, Van Gogh and Lassen make appearances, but in this ad he declares, “At year’s end, KFC chicken and Pepsi are essential.” Kuruma’s powerful screams rival Nagano’s, leaving Nagano looking satisfied.
The impact is tremendous—once you’ve seen it, you can’t forget this commercial.
Suntory Pepsi “Fresh” – “PEPSI LEMON STRIKE”Takanori Iwata
This commercial portrays the shocking encounter between Pepsi Nama and lemon through Takanori Iwata’s uniquely stylized bowling world.
He throws a lemon that at first seems to wobble and fail to roll, but then it suddenly spins at high speed and shoots forward.
The pins—featuring the Pepsi logo—also surge toward us, and the lemon and Pepsi finally meet.
Even if the plot feels surreal, it clearly conveys that lemon and cola are irresistibly drawn to each other and make a perfect match, while also expressing the refreshing fizz of carbonation.
