[Cast and Songs in the Spotlight] UCC Coffee Commercials Summary (1–10)
UCC Ueshima Coffee UCC TOTONOU by BLACK Sugar-Free “Totonou Me” VersionNEW!
This is a commercial introducing TOTONOU, a rare product that’s both coffee and a Food with Function Claims.
It reportedly supports increased energy expenditure at rest, so many people who drink coffee every day may be thinking, “Maybe I should switch to this.” It’s an eye-catching ad for those who drink coffee daily and those who are concerned about their body shape.
UCC Ueshima Coffee UCC Mizuire Coffee “The Appeal of Mizuire Iced Coffee” edition
This commercial straightforwardly conveys the appeal of UCC’s water-brewed iced coffee through users’ impressions.
It highlights how easy it is to enjoy—much like using a barley tea bag—and expresses how effortlessly it fits into daily life, since you just leave it to brew.
The smiles of people enjoying their coffee are memorable, and the ad also does a solid job of emphasizing how delicious it is.
COFFEE LOVER’s PLANET “UCC GOLD PLANET” VersionMichiko Kichise
This is a commercial with a very striking tagline: “Coffee isn’t a liquid, it’s people.” Actress Michiko Kichise provides the narration, gently introducing the coffee.
From beautiful coffee cherries to a single cup, it’s made through the passion and skill of many people.
The background music by the Gipsy Kings is also brilliant and lovely.
BLACK Unsweetened ‘True Coffee Journey #1’ VersionMunetaka Aoki
A simple narration-only commercial with just: “Nature teaches us what truly matters,” “Black coffee needs no flavoring,” and “UCC Black Unsweetened.” The BGM is Deep Purple’s “Black Night,” which has been used for UCC Black Unsweetened since 1994 and has become synonymous with the brand.
An edit that breaks the main riff in parts effectively highlights the product.
Misato Watanabe
It’s a TV commercial from around 1988—so nostalgic.
Misato Watanabe walks through a vast sunflower field, and three kangaroos quietly follow behind her carrying coffee.
Not just the kangaroos’ faces, but even the sun’s face looks like it resembles someone… It has that warm, familiar feel.
I bet many people felt their hearts pierced by Cupid’s arrow at Misato Watanabe’s radiant smile.
in JAMAICA “Dialogue with Nature” Version
This is a commercial stating that the beans used in UCC’s coffee are grown on the company’s own plantation in Jamaica.
From the footage, you can sense how challenging it is to cultivate coffee beans: the fields are on steep slopes, and thick fog sometimes settles over them.
The CM song is an original track by South American musician Lava Man Wayne.
UCC BREAKJean Reno
The King of Hell, Enma, is exhausted from work.
Then a mysterious beauty appears and hands him a coffee.
After taking a sip, Enma exclaims, “Delicious! Give me more, more!”—it’s a humorous commercial.
The star is the world-famous actor Jean Reno, whose comical performance is captivating.
Did you know such a big-name actor once appeared in a UCC commercial?
