[Townwork Commercials] Popular and Historical Commercials Summary [2026] (21–30)
“My Boyfriend Becomes a Butler” EditionHitoshi Matsumoto, Ryota Katayose
This is a Townwork commercial that aired in 2017.
In addition to the familiar Hitoshi Matsumoto, Ryota Katayose from GENERATIONS from EXILE TRIBE also appeared, which became a hot topic.
The setup is that Katayose, playing the boyfriend, becomes a butler for just one day, and the footage is from the girlfriend’s point of view.
Then Hitoshi Matsumoto suddenly appears and delivers the familiar line, “If you’re going to work a part-time job, Townwork.”
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!

“What are you downloading?!” editionHitoshi Matsumoto, Shuhei Nomura
This is the Townwork commercial titled “What are you downloading?,” featuring Hitoshi Matsumoto and Shuhei Nomura as a father and son.
The father barges into his son’s room and, without hearing him out, demands to know what he’s downloading on his smartphone.
He’s only downloading the Townwork app, but for some reason it’s all staged dramatically.
The son’s line, “Everyone’s doing it,” is a classic thing kids say, and then the father, in a kind of self-delivering punchline, admits, “I’m doing it too,” leaving you not knowing what’s going on—that’s the vibe of the commercial.
“Part-Time False God: Oishii” ArcHitoshi Matsumoto, Shotaro Mamiya, JP
In the Townwork commercial released in February 2019, in addition to Hitoshi Matsumoto—familiar as the “part-time job god”—and Shotaro Mamiya, JP, a popular impressionist known for impersonating Hitoshi Matsumoto, also appears.
JP performs as a fake god, showcasing his Matsumoto impersonation.
Since the faces aren’t very clear in the footage, many people probably listened only to the voices and mistakenly thought both were the real Hitoshi Matsumoto.
“Part-time False God: Fake Sound”Hitoshi Matsumoto, Shotaro Mamiya, JP
This video is a Townwork commercial released in February 2019.
In addition to the familiar Hitoshi Matsumoto and Shotaro Mamiya, JP—well-known for his impressions of Hitoshi Matsumoto—also appears.
JP plays the role of the “fake deity,” delivering his Matsumoto impersonation.
Even the props in the commercial show a dedication to fakes: for example, it uses “supplements” instead of an app, and “bait” instead of a part-time job, revealing playful counterfeit details throughout.
“Friend’s Part-Time Job God: Waiwai”Hitoshi Matsumoto, Shotaro Mamiya, Ruriko Kojima
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
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…”
