This is the Townwork commercial series titled “Friend’s Part-Time Job God: Best Buds,” featuring Downtown’s Hitoshi Matsumoto as the ‘God of Part-Time Jobs.’ The ‘Part-Time Job God,’ portrayed by Matsumoto, appears before Shotaro Mamiya, who is always looking for a part-time job.

This time, Mamiya’s friend is also job hunting, but the one who appears to him is a female deity, Ruriko Kojima.

As Mamiya watches, envious of the interaction between his friend and Kojima, Matsumoto gently stays by his side, and in the end gives him a peck on the cheek.

The final moment, where Mamiya lets out a natural little chuckle, is especially cute.

This is the Townwork commercial series featuring Hitoshi Matsumoto from Downtown as the “Part-Time Job God,” titled ‘Friend’s Part-Time Job God: Tears.’ Shota Mamiya and his friend are holding their smartphones, saying, “We’ve gotta look for a part-time job,” when each of their own Part-Time Job Gods appears.

Seeing the beautiful Part-Time Job God assigned to his friend, Ruriko Kojima, Mamiya says, “I want that god instead!” which makes Matsumoto burst into tears.

Then Mamiya gently pulls the weeping Part-Time Job God into an embrace… Those two make quite the pair, don’t they? (laughs)

Study Sapuri “High School and University Entrance Exam” EditionAisa Takeuchi

Aisa Takeuchi looks cute in her school uniform! Playing a devoted high school girl preparing for exams—Recruit’s new commercial “Study Sapuri: High School and University Entrance Exam Edition” is now out.

The Recruit Study Sapuri commercial “High School and University Entrance Exams” featuring Aisa Takeuchi.

Separate from attending cram school, Study Sapuri offers classes and lectures on your smartphone or tablet, along with robust study plans and support—this commercial highlights all of that.

Being able to take classes and lessons from home is both convenient and impressive, isn’t it? The freshness and cuteness of Aisa Takeuchi are also key highlights of this ad.

And many people probably find that the opening classroom scene somehow sticks in their ears, don’t they? (laughs)

SUUMO: “Nanase-san’s filters are complete!” versionNanase Nishino

Nanase Nishino strikes a pose in a cowgirl outfit! Recruit SUUMO commercial

The Nanase featured in SUUMO’s commercial “Nanase-san’s Filters Complete!” is Nanase Nishino, formerly of Nogizaka46.

Living in the SUUMO House, she pulls a ton of clothes out of her closet but can’t find her favorite outfit.

Fed up with her disorganized room, Nishino decides to move.

When searching, she uses filters to pick places with a walk-in closet that can hold lots of clothes and options available for immediate move-in.

She quickly finds a place through the easy search and moves right in, showing off her favorite cowgirl outfit.

It’s also a CM where you won’t want to miss the little bits of Kansai dialect Nishino slips in.

Recruit Hot Pepper Beauty: “Hair Salon Door with LiLico” / “Review People with Ayami”LiLico, Ayami Nakajo

In the commercials for Hot Pepper Beauty provided by Recruit, each ad highlights the appeal of Hot Pepper Beauty.

The “Hair Salon Door with LiLico” version emphasizes that you can choose a salon that suits you by checking salon profiles, while the “Reviews Crowd with Ayami” version promotes the ability to view numerous reviews.

Many people may already be using it, but these spots once again convey just how convenient it is.

Recruit Hot Pepper Beauty Matoba Seisakusho “Photos” version / “Ratio” versionKoji Matoba

This is a Hot Pepper Beauty commercial featuring Koji Matoba appearing as the president of Matoba Manufacturing.

In this ad, it shows features designed to make it easier for men who feel hesitant about going to hair salons to use them—such as being able to browse many hairstyle images in advance and see the gender ratio of customers.

While these are actually functions implemented in the app, the commercial humorously depicts them as if they’re being manufactured with machines at Matoba Manufacturing, which adds a nice touch of humor.

Recruit Agent: Whispering Duo ‘Find with a Pro’ Version / ‘Someone Knowledgeable About Job Changes’ VersionIssey Takahashi, Yuya Yagira

In this commercial, Issey Takahashi and Yuya Yagira recommend Recruit Agent to men and women who want to change jobs but don’t know how to go about it.

Set in a neighborhood udon shop, the repeatedly uttered phrase “Recruit Agent” sticks in your head.

Both versions—the “Search with a Pro” edition and the “Someone Who Knows About Changing Jobs” edition—end with a little twist that will make you chuckle, so be sure to check them out.
