TOWNWORK is a job listing site operated by Recruit, and many of you have probably seen it when you were looking for work.

The TOWNWORK commercials have been a hot topic because they feature a star-studded cast, including popular figures such as Hitoshi Matsumoto and Takuya Kimura, as well as many other actors and entertainers.

The direction of the commercials is often humorous and entertaining, and I’m sure there are quite a few people who find themselves glued to the screen whenever a TOWNWORK ad comes on.

In this article, we’ll showcase a whole lineup of TOWNWORK commercials.

Enjoy while paying attention to the cast and the creative direction.

“Friend’s Part-Time Job God: Waiwai”Hitoshi Matsumoto, Shotaro Mamiya, Ruriko Kojima

Hitoshi Matsumoto nuzzles Koji Ruri’s cheek!? Appears as the new “Part-Time Job God.” Townwork’s new CM “Friend’s God” version & making-of

The Townwork commercial made headlines for featuring Hitoshi Matsumoto as the “Part-time Job God.” Whenever Shotaro Mamiya looks for a part-time job, the Job God inevitably appears.

This time, he’s searching with a friend—but while the Job God shows up as an older man for him, a beautiful woman, Ruriko Kojima, appears as the god for his friend.

Even the older-man Job God is taken aback.

He clings to the friend and the beautiful goddess, sticks close while listening to explanations, and tries every trick to stay attached.

The way everyone ends up packed together makes it a chuckle-worthy commercial.

“The Pushy Girlfriend: Hilarious” EditionHitoshi Matsumoto, Shotaro Mamiya, Maika Yamamoto

Maika Yamamoto comes on strong and leaves “Part-time Job God” Hitoshi Matsumoto flustered — Townwork’s new commercial “The Pushy Girlfriend,” Laugh-Out-Loud/Love-It edition

This is the version featuring Maika Yamamoto, who’s currently popular for being a character that bluntly says whatever she thinks.

The setup takes full advantage of her image.

It’s really funny how the god played by Hitoshi Matsumoto can’t keep up with her pushy energy and his enthusiasm gradually drops.

The role can be a bit overbearing, but her cute smile and completely guileless remarks evoke today’s young women, drawing even more laughs from viewers.

It’s a commercial that makes you think, “Even Matsumoto can’t win against a girl this young…”

“Snow Country” ChapterHitoshi Matsumoto, Asuka Saito, Taishi Nakagawa

The next collaboration features Asuka Saito from Nogizaka46! Townwork’s new commercial ‘Snow Country’ starring Hitoshi Matsumoto and Taishi Nakagawa

The Townwork commercial “Snow Country,” which began airing in January 2017.

In it, Asuka Saito of Nogizaka46 plays a girl who fails to confess her feelings to a boy played by Taishi Nakagawa, when Hitoshi Matsumoto appears and delivers his familiar line as if giving love advice.

Watch how the heart-fluttering scene featuring the refreshingly pure Saito and Nakagawa takes a surreal turn with Matsumoto’s entrance.

The music is “Mahō no Yō ni” by SHISHAMO, a three-piece rock band popular especially among teenagers.

This commercial is put together like a drama—or more like a trailer for a drama or movie—with Shingo Katori as the shift leader, Sosuke Takei as the store manager, Yua Shinkawa as the new part-time hire, and Hikomaro as the mysterious customer.

It’s packed with intriguing details that make you think, “Where’s the full version?” The final scene, where Shingo Katori’s shift leader walks away with everyone, even gives it a bit of a road-movie vibe.

Who’s on Townwork? “BARBER” EditionTatsuya Fujiwara

Tatsuya Fujiwara transforms into a dandy with a handlebar mustache in Townwork’s new commercial, “Who’s on Townwork? ‘BARBER’ Edition.”

This is the Townwork job listing commercial titled “Townwork—Who Could It Be? BARBER.” To the familiar Townwork melody, the lyrics go, “Townwork, who could it be?” A person wearing a mysterious square box with the Townwork logo gets a barber’s shave—with whipped-cream-like foam applied over the box—and a blow-dry on top of it.

Naturally, you’re dying to know who’s inside.

Then comes the long-awaited moment: the box comes off, and there he is—Tatsuya Fujiwara, sporting a perfectly curled handlebar mustache! That’s the twist of the commercial.
