BLACK Unsweetened Cinema Ad: ‘Nevertheless,’ VersionMasahiro Komoto, Yui Okamoto, Aoi Sekiya

"Even so," Edition — UCC Ueshima Coffee × Rin Soejima (AOI Pro.) #ONLY_WOMEN_ONLY_60sec

The BLACK Sugarless commercial “And Yet,” which portrays the awkward exchanges between a father and his daughter.

Masahiro Komoto plays the father, Yui Okamoto the daughter, and Aoi Sekiya the daughter in her childhood.

Gently wrapping their interactions is the CM song “Katachi no Nai Mono” by odol.

The father believes in his daughter’s talent as she aims for an art university and supports her, but his clumsy nature keeps his feelings from coming across… Even so, when his daughter faces a setback, it’s that same father who quietly offers her a coffee and stays by her side.

Directed by Rin Soejima of AOI Pro., the spot delivers a gently tear-jerking story.

GuarujáTakeshi Kaneshiro

[Commercial 1998] UCC Guaruja Guaruja Takeshi Kaneshiro

This is a commercial for UCC Guaruja featuring Takeshi Kaneshiro.

He keeps knocking even though the person doesn’t come to the door, and when the door finally opens without him noticing, he ends up knocking on the person’s forehead—an awkward mishap, especially if it’s your boss.

Kaneshiro’s strained smile is pretty funny.

Everyone has unexpected slip-ups like this.

When it happens, let’s calm down with a cup of coffee, just like Kaneshiro does in the ad.

Sparkling Caffeine FULL THROTTLE: Humans, awaken!

UCC Ueshima Coffee Sparkling Caffeine “Full Throttle” Devilman TV commercial

This is a commercial for UCC’s sparkling caffeine drink “Full Throttle.” The footage uses animation from Devilman, in which a human transforms into a demon after drinking Full Throttle, and, together with the line and on-screen text “Humans, awaken!”, conveys the double impact of caffeine times two and carbonation.

The background vocals are by Miika Kobayashi, a piano-playing singer-songwriter also known in the anime music scene for works like Attack on Titan.

UCC Super OriginalRie Hamada

Around 1996 commercial: Hironobu Nomura, Hidekazu Akai, UCC Coffee, canned coffee

This is a UCC Coffee commercial featuring actor Hironobu Nomura and former professional boxer–turned–TV personality Hidekazu Akai.

The song is an arranged version of Kyu Sakamoto’s signature hit “Ue o Muite Arukou” (“Sukiyaki”), sung by Rie Hamada, a singer-songwriter from Osaka.

The lively arrangement gives it a cheerful vibe.

The two figures flying off into the distance look a bit surreal from behind.
