It follows a storyline where Chankawai, who is troubled by poor health check results, is advised to try Chocolate Kouka, expressing the hope that he’ll use it wisely to improve his health.

And from Chankawai’s final smile, you can sense his willingness to believe and give it a try.
Nestlé KitKat: “It all starts with KitKat. A chance to connect the hearts of a daughter and her mother” (version)
Even between parent and child—or rather, precisely because they are parent and child—it can be hard to express everyday gratitude and honest feelings.
This commercial tells an animated story of a parent and child who convey those feelings through KitKat.
The real-life episode in which they wrote messages to each other in the message area on the back of the KitKat package and exchanged them is truly heartwarming.
The background music is Start Again, written specifically for this commercial.
The lyrics focus on the word “kikkake” (a catalyst or starting point), which is also the theme of the ad, and their positivity is sure to lift your spirits.
Nestlé KitKat “KITKAT × JO1” EditionJO1
Speaking of Kit Kat, the famous tagline is “Have a break, have a KitKat,” and this commercial portrays various kinds of break times.
It features the members of JO1, and showcases the perfect KitKats that fit a range of scenes—school, the office, tea gatherings, sports, and more.
The background music is their song “Run & Go.” Its upbeat melody and positive lyrics leave a strong impression, making it a track that lifts your mood as you listen.
Glico Pocky Afternoon Indulgence “Couple’s Time” VersionRie Miyazawa, Koji Okura
This commercial features Rie Miyazawa and Koji Okura as a married couple, depicting how Pocky’s Gogo no Zeitaku (“Afternoon Indulgence”) gently enriches their time together.
After reflecting on having said too much, Rie Miyazawa suggests taking a break with Afternoon Indulgence to Koji Okura, and the ad portrays the two gradually returning to smiles, creating a warm, gentle mood.
Underscoring this tender atmosphere is the song Majestic by B’z.
Its acoustic tones and calm rhythm are striking, and when combined with the group’s signature strength, they powerfully convey a forward-looking, positive feeling.
