Sumitomo Life Commercials: Popular and All-Time Commercials Summary [2026]

Yoga teacherYuuko.S
Nice to meet you. I’m Yuko S. I teach yoga, meditation, and Laughter Yoga Music. I offer Laughter Yoga Music because ensuring children’s psychological safety fosters the development of their brains and minds and helps them cultivate their talents. I have produced many Laughter Yoga Music recreation sessions that simply let people enjoy laughter, music, and dance—connecting India and Japan via Zoom for both children and adults. My track record includes regularly held Nerima Laughter Yoga classes, regularly held Kichijoji Laughter Yoga Music classes, and occasional Laughter Yoga Music events. I’m currently involved in various kinds of work, and as I began facing myself more deeply, I continued studying NLP—sometimes called an instruction manual for the brain and mind—as well as the deeper unconscious realms of the psyche; I now also work as a psychological therapist. I love music, too. Back in my student days, I was such a big fan of the band LÄ-PPISCH that I even joined their fan club. I was a total live-music girl, spending most of my part-time earnings on indie concert tickets, lol. I listen to music across genres, and since I’ve lived in India, I especially listen to a lot of Indian music.

Sumitomo Life “Level Up in Exams” EditionNagayama Eita, Kawaei Rina

Eita faces a mishap during an exam but doesn’t cheat; former AKB48 member Rina Kawaei is impressed — Sumitomo Life’s new commercial “Level Up in the Exam”

This series never fails to impress me.

In the latest “Level Up on the Exam” installment, Hajime Ueda takes an English proficiency test and does his best, only to realize at the end that he forgot to write his name.

This time we meet three characters: the person who took the test, an insurance agent who knows about it, and—believe it or not—the person who was sitting next to him during the exam.

It’s another light, comical episode that will make you chuckle.

Sumitomo Life “At That Moment, Vitality (Doc)” VersionNagayama Eita

Eita takes on a comprehensive medical checkup: Sumitomo Life’s new commercials “1UP at the Checkup: Testimonial” and “At That Moment, Vitality (Checkup): Testimonial”

This is a commercial where Hajime Ueda, having finished his first complete medical checkup, is somehow skipping along.

The camera work in this series is interesting, isn’t it? In this ad, the presentation makes it look like he’s caught on the hospital’s security cameras.

But… why was he skipping? The CM song is “Ah.

There Are Moments That Fly By” by singer-songwriter Pistol Takehara.

Sumitomo Life “One Up with a Health Checkup”Nagayama Eita

Eita takes on a comprehensive medical checkup: Sumitomo Life’s new commercials “1UP at the Checkup: Testimonial” and “At That Moment, Vitality (Checkup): Testimonial”

This is one installment of the popular “1UP” series.

It’s a story about Hajime Ueda, played by Eita, getting his first comprehensive medical checkup.

He drinks barium and is about to burp.

Ueda tries hard to hold it in…

but in the end, it slips out.

The atmosphere feels very natural, so some people might not have noticed, but Tsukaji Muga of the comedy duo Drunk Dragon appears as the doctor.

Sumitomo Life: ‘Boys Also 1UP’ VersionNagayama Eita

1up Series Commercial Compilation − 2

It’s a commercial where a boy sitting next to you at a Chinese restaurant orders “the usual,” which is quite surprising.

The actor Eita’s facial acting is amazing.

But indeed, if you saw an elementary school–aged boy ordering by saying “the usual,” you might be a bit taken aback.

Since it’s a commercial for children’s insurance, the series’ staple CM song, Takahara Pistol’s “Hey, You Young People,” features children’s voices in this version.
