The convenience of hydrating while getting nutrients at the same time is presented as something that leads to everyday health and fulfillment—something also conveyed through the appearances of Nagisa Katahira and Naoki Tanaka, who are recommended the products.

Enhancing the upbeat, fun vibe depicted in the footage is a parody of “Tonarigumi.” The song, known from shows like “Dorifu Dai-Bakushō” and sung with various lyrics over the years, uses its light rhythm to effectively convey a sense of fun.

Premium Hanako Migiwa “When The Premium Malt’s cans change from gold to navy” DEBUT presented by THE PREMIUM MALT’S

This commercial announces the relaunch of The Premium Malt’s brand: along with revamped brewing methods and flavor, the distinctive gold can will be changed to navy.

It’s one entry in a series inspired by a live-action take on the anime Chibi Maruko-chan, featuring Mai Shiraishi playing Hanako Migiwa, who is making her debut as an idol.

Framed as the music video for the song “When the Premium Malt’s Can Changes from Gold to Navy,” the spot’s meticulous attention to detail is truly impressive.

The Akadama commercial series featuring Takako Matsu and Takashi Okabe as a married couple.

Beyond the two actors’ performances, the CM’s original music used as BGM adds to a distinctive, drama-like atmosphere.

The warm, heartening dialogue becomes addictive, making it a commercial you can’t help but watch over and over.

This is a commercial featuring Aoi Morikawa, showing her making a Kyogetsu oolong tea mixed drink in front of friends.

The ad itself also includes a commercial she previously appeared in, and as she shows that footage, she continues making the oolong highball—its meta structure is quite striking! After taking a delicious sip, she naturally keeps chatting with a smile, conveying the message that Kyogetsu is something to enjoy in everyday life.

Suntory Green Tea Iyemon Tokucha Tokucha Laboratory “Teku-Teku Walking” Version / “10-Times Quiz” VersionMasahiro Motoki, Mone Kamishiraishi

This is a commercial that conveys the appeal of Tokucha through a conversation between Masahiro Motoki and Mone Kamishiraishi.

This time, the focus is on value.

In the “Teku-Teku Walking” segment, it highlights that walking more than usual and drinking green tea containing quercetin glycosides can make it easier to reduce body fat, while the “10-Time Quiz” segment introduces a deal where you get one bottle free when you buy ten Tokucha bottles.

The “10-Time Quiz” segment in particular features humorous banter, so be sure to watch until the end.

Suntory The Peel: “The Peels Strike Back — A Big Hit” VersionYo Oizumi, Takumi Saito, Sosuke Ikematsu

The Peel: 'The Revenge of the Rind – Wildly Popular' 15-second Version | Yo Oizumi, Takumi Saito, Sosuke Ikematsu | Suntory Commercial

In the commercial for The Peel, said to be made using lemon peels, its appeal is presented to beer lovers.

The ad shows only image cuts of lemon peel, shots of the cast drinking The Peel as if it tastes great, and the number of units sold.

It never explicitly describes the flavor, but the message that it’s “loved by beer aficionados” invites us to imagine it has no sweetness and a compelling, addictive bitterness.

By not revealing everything, it cleverly conveys the product’s allure.

The background music is James Brown’s signature song “I Got You (I Feel Good),” making it clear the ad is aimed at adults.

Released in 1965, the track is renowned for its funky shouts and an irresistible groove that makes you want to move.
