[Tokyo Gas] The Most Moving Classic Commercials You’ll Want to Watch Again (11–20)
Family Bonds: The Lunchbox EmailKaori Mizushima
A series of lunchboxes packed with a mother’s messages to her son, who has stopped talking to her like he used to since hitting adolescence.
It’s a commercial that makes you smile—and cry—as you see bento boxes filled with various sentiments like “Do your best” and “Congratulations.” Watching it reminds you of the lunches your own mother made, doesn’t it? Those lunchboxes surely carried many feelings as well.
At the end of the commercial, the mother is shown tearing up at a message from her son.
It makes you realize how important it is to express gratitude in words.
Denki de Lucky: ‘Kyoko’s Cheerful Electricity Bill’ EditionKyoko Fukada / Animal Hamaguchi
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.
Tokyo Gas ‘Paternity Leave Dad’ VersionTokio Emoto, Ai Kitaura, Rena Suzuki
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.
“Barber Suga: Liberalization Shot”Suzu Hirose / Satoshi Tsumabuki / Denden
A customer appears at Barbersuga, fretting over which power company to choose after electricity market deregulation.
That customer is the manga artist Yoichi Takahashi—the creator of Captain Tsubasa.
Suzu Hirose jumps into the manga itself and scores a very acrobatic shot.
The title of the manga being “Vice-Captain Deregulation” is also something you can’t help but poke fun at.
Blue Bird ChapterSatoshi Tsumabuki
This is Tokyo Gas’s commercial “Blue Bird.” In gentle, pastel-touch animation, multiple blue gas flames come together to form a blue bird.
It shows gas being transported by tanker, then stored in gas tanks, followed by scenes like the lights of homes at night.
The animated tagline reads, “Continuing to create everyone’s everyday normal.” It’s a piece that makes you appreciate the value of gas.
The Family Story: The Uncool Dad Edition
This might be a commercial that brings tears to fathers with daughters.
A girl who only ever saw her dad looking tired at home thought he was uncool.
But after seeing him bow his head desperately to protect his family, she changes her mind.
When the father apologizes, saying, “Sorry for being uncool,” the daughter replies, “Dad, you’re cool.” It’s funny how the dad’s joy is depicted as a heart set on fire.
The daughter is played by actress Fumi Nikaido, and the father by actor Tomorowo Taguchi.

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