[Townwork Commercials] Popular and All-Time Commercials Summary [2026] (11–20)
Coffee Shop – VersionHitoshi Matsumoto, Rina Ikoma
In this 2017 Townwork commercial, not only the familiar Hitoshi Matsumoto appears, but Rina Ikoma—who was a member of Nogizaka46 at the time—also features.
The two are depicted working part-time at a coffee shop, and the phrase “If you’re going to work a part-time job, use Townwork” shows up as a coffee order.
The quirky intonation sticks in your ears and makes you want to say it out loud yourself!
Townwork ‘Suspension Bridge’ EpisodeTakuya Kimura, Mana Ashida
The Townwork commercial “Suspension Bridge” featuring Takuya Kimura and Mana Ashida in zombie makeup.
It’s a snapshot while they’re getting ready to shoot a zombie movie, with Kimura and Ashida talking about Ashida’s friend.
When Ashida says, “Once again, just my bad luck,” Kimura mishears it as “Townwork?” and from there things take a slightly odd turn.
When Ashida restates her story, this time she clearly says “Townwork,” and although Kimura calls her out on it, she stays unfazed—leaving Kimura confused by the word “Townwork.” The ad is filled with comedic banter and makes you really curious about the movie they’re filming.
Townwork “Friend’s Part-Time Job God” – Best Friends EditionHitoshi Matsumoto, Ruriko Kojima, Shotaro Mamiya
This is the Townwork commercial series titled “Friend’s Part-Time Job God: Best Buddies,” featuring Hitoshi Matsumoto from Downtown as the ‘God of Part-Time Jobs.’ The ‘Part-Time Job God,’ played by Matsumoto, appears before Shotaro Mamiya, who is always looking for part-time work.
This time, Mamiya’s friend is also job hunting, but the one who appears to him is a female deity, Ruriko Kojima.
As Mamiya watches their exchange with envy, Matsumoto gently stays by his side, and in the end, he even gives him a peck on the cheek.
The final moment where Mamiya lets his natural self slip out and chuckles is really cute.
Townwork “Friend’s Part-Time Job God” Crying VersionHitoshi Matsumoto, Ruriko Kojima, Shotaro Mamiya
This is the Townwork commercial series featuring Hitoshi Matsumoto from Downtown as the “Part-Time Job God,” titled ‘Friend’s Part-Time Job God: Tears.’ Shota Mamiya and his friend are holding their smartphones, saying, “We’ve gotta look for a part-time job,” when each of their own Part-Time Job Gods appears.
Seeing the beautiful Part-Time Job God assigned to his friend, Ruriko Kojima, Mamiya says, “I want that god instead!” which makes Matsumoto burst into tears.
Then Mamiya gently pulls the weeping Part-Time Job God into an embrace… Those two make quite the pair, don’t they? (laughs)
Who’s on TownWork? “Debut Dance” EditionSho Hirano
This is the Townwork series commercial “Townwork—Who Could It Be? Entrance Dance” featuring Sho Hirano from King & Prince.
The aerobics-style dance and outfits evoke the 80s.
Among the members who make a lively entrance dancing, there’s the familiar member with a box over their head from the “Townwork—Who Could It Be?” series.
When the dancing members and those around them pop off the box—who appears but Sho Hirano with a perfectly posed face.
It’s a commercial that’s comical yet ends on a cool, sharp note.
“Home” ChapterHitoshi Matsumoto
This 2015 Townwork commercial features the familiar Hitoshi Matsumoto.
In the scene, two women are chatting on a train platform about a mutual friend who got a boyfriend through a part-time job, when Matsumoto, playing a conductor, shouts, “If you’re going to work a part-time job, use Townwork.” The final ‘nano yo—’ adds a nice touch.
