SMBC Debut Fair: “By Your Side for Your Debut #Graduation #Employment”Mizuki Osako, Momomi Yoshida, Kawai Ogura

Winners of each university’s beauty contest appear! A web-exclusive movie depicting graduation and job hunting: “By Your Side for Your Debut #Graduation #JobHunting”

This commercial, created to coincide with the SMBC Debut Fair, features winners from well-known university beauty pageants.

The main character, Mizuki Osako, won the Grand Prix for Miss Tokyo University of Science 2016, and her best-friend roles are played by Momomi Yoshida and Kawai Ogura—though from different years, they were respectively a finalist and the runner-up in the Fresh Campus Contest.

The CM intertwines the idea of an “SMBC Debut” — opening a first account with Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation — with the debut into society upon graduating from university.

Marking her graduation, Osako gifts matching pouches to her two best friends.

When work gets tough, she looks at the pouch and finds strength in the thought that she’s not alone, resolving to keep trying.

It’s a heartwarming ad that portrays the anxieties everyone feels when stepping into a new environment, along with hope for the future.

Card Loan: “Domino” Edition

2 commercials starring Yuriko Yoshitaka for Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation Card Loan: 'Table Tennis' and 'Dominoes'

From the very beginning, actress Yuriko Yoshitaka lines up dominoes while saying she has time—or doesn’t.

As expected, she knocks them over partway through.

The falling dominoes spell out a message that card screening can be completed in as little as 30 minutes.

It promotes a card loan that’s perfect even for busy people.

At the end of the commercial, Yuriko Yoshitaka appears again to set up more dominoes, but she knocks them over once more (laughs).

This time, it highlights that you can get a card even without having an account.

The phrase “But it’s okay!” feels reassuring.

[TVCM] “Thinking Man” Edition — Something Strange <60 seconds> [Official Sumitomo Mitsui Card]

In the Thinking Man series commercial “Strange Things,” which features the memorable exchange between Shun Oguri and Munetaka Aoki, the ad raises the question: What exactly is money? Aoki tells Oguri to jump forward one step from where he’s standing.

After Oguri does as instructed, Aoki says, “Now take the money out of your pocket and try jumping again.” This time, Oguri jumps farther than before.

Aoki tells him, “You could jump farther because your heart felt lighter and you had less to worry about,” concluding that money is a strange thing.

While prompting viewers to reconsider what money is, the series also encourages going cashless with the message, “Have a good Cashless.”
