[Tokyo Gas] The Most Moving Classic Commercials You’ll Want to Watch Again (11–20)

Denki de Lucky: ‘Kyoko’s Cheerful Electricity Bill’ EditionKyoko Fukada / Animal Hamaguchi

Kyoko Fukada and Kyoko Hamaguchi become the “Double Kyoko” big sisters! Tokyo Gas’s new commercials: ‘Excited About Electricity Bills’ — Kyoko Fukada version and Kyoko Hamaguchi version.

This is a commercial featuring the actress Kyoko Fukada, also known as Fukakyon.

It’s set up like a kids’ TV show, and when Kyoko Fukada calls out, “Any friends who haven’t bundled their electricity yet?”, people of various ages and professions gather around.

Playing a sort of assistant role is former pro wrestler Animal Hamaguchi.

His high-energy performance made me laugh.

It also made me crave crab.

Pipit Stove: ‘Pipit Stove – Look-Alike Mother and Daughter (Web Exclusive)’ Edition

Kenichi Yajima, Suzu Hirose, Tokyo Gas Pipitto Stove Commercial

Here’s a commercial from Tokyo Gas for their “Pipit” gas stove.

The ad is titled “A Mother and Daughter Who Look Alike,” and it features Suzu Hirose, playing the daughter, cooking for her father, played by Kenichi Yajima.

He quietly reflects on how much she resembles her mother in that moment.

Yajima’s narration as the father has a gentle, wonderfully deep tone.

And Suzu Hirose wearing an apron and cooking is so earnest it makes your heart skip a beat.

I think it’s the kind of commercial that might bring a tear to the eyes of dads all across the country.

Tokyo Gas ‘Paternity Leave Dad’ VersionTokio Emoto, Ai Kitaura, Rena Suzuki

Tokyo Gas TV commercial: “Paternity Leave Dad” (90 seconds)

This is a commercial depicting Tokio Emoto striving as a dad to raise his child.

The first half shows the ideal of spending paternity leave smartly, while the second half portrays the real struggles when things don’t go as planned.

It conveys the harsh realities of childcare, yet also the importance of growing through those experiences.

It also seems to carry Tokyo Gas’s message of wanting to support people who are doing their best.

Pipit Stove: Ene-Farm ‘Back in My Day, Dad’ (Web Exclusive)

Suzu Hirose Tokyo Gas commercial web-exclusive 1-minute version: “When Dad Was Young”

This is Tokyo Gas’s commercial “ENEFARM: Back When Dad Was Young,” featuring Kenichi Yajima as the father and Suzu Hirose as the daughter.

The daughter initially reacts to her dad’s “You know, when I was young…” with an “Ugh, here we go again—I’ve heard this a million times” attitude.

But when he starts talking about electricity and gas, she thinks, “Huh? This is different from usual,” and gets a little interested.

In the end, of course, he slips into a little lecture.

Still, the fact that he never actually says the word “ENEFARM” gives it a charmingly dad-like feel that makes you smile.

Switch to electricity NOW! “Sairi Ito RAP” versionSairi Ito

Sairi Ito tries her hand at rap! Bizarre banter with Shinichi Tsutsumi too. Tokyo Gas’s latest commercials: “Switch Your Electricity NOW! Winter of Scary Power Bills” / “Sairi Ito RAP”

The actress Sairi Ito, whose husky voice contrasts with her appearance, is active in many fields, including singing, dancing, and narration.

In this commercial released in October 2020, she even takes on rap.

Her husky voice pairs perfectly with the rap—it’s really cool! After seeing this “Switch your electricity NOW” ad, I bet many young people decided to switch to Tokyo Gas.

It’s a brilliantly enjoyable commercial, with a charming message delivered through Sairi Ito’s appeal and rap.

Switch Your Electricity NOW! “The Season When Power Bills Get Crazy”Shinichi Tsutsumi, Sairi Ito

Sairi Ito tries her hand at rap! Bizarre banter with Shinichi Tsutsumi too. Tokyo Gas’s latest commercials: “Switch Your Electricity NOW! Winter of Scary Power Bills” / “Sairi Ito RAP”

Sairi Ito started as a child actress and, despite her youth, is already a veteran with numerous credits.

Shinichi Tsutsumi is also a highly skilled actor who shines not only in TV dramas but also in films and on stage.

This commercial lets you enjoy a comical performance by Sairi Ito and Shinichi Tsutsumi.

Ito’s very first line, which instantly draws you into the CM, is truly impactful.

Their well-synchronized acting—both being seasoned performers—makes you want to see them in a full-length drama, not just a commercial.

Their performances are addictive, and I’d love to see more of them as a series.

It’s a fun and irresistibly catchy commercial.

Tokyo Gas “IGNITURE / The Wall” Version

Tokyo Gas Commercial: 'IGNITURE / The Wall' (15 seconds)

Before the people standing frozen in front of a wall, a ladder appears to climb it.

They rejoice after scaling the wall, but soon another wall rises before them.

However, the wall quickly disappears, and they can move forward again.

This is a Tokyo Gas commercial that conveys the message of anticipating any obstacle and steadily clearing the path ahead.
