The Bargain-Loving Family: Living Room EditionTetsurō Degawa, Riho Yoshioka, Mana Ashida

Riho Yoshioka and Mana Ashida show sharp dance moves to 'Genghis Khan'; behind-the-scenes footage reveals their serious practice mode. Y!mobile’s new TV commercial: The Otokunaru Family series, 'Living Room' edition.

Here’s the commercial from Y!mobile’s “O-Toku Naru Ichizoku” series.

It features Tetsurō Degawa, Miki Maya, Riho Yoshioka, and Mana Ashida, and it makes great use of each character’s personality.

Like a scene from the Takarazuka Revue, the dialogue transitions into song and dance.

The main track is a disco tune released in 1979 by the German music group Dschinghis Khan, and it’s still widely used for dances at preschools, kindergartens, and elementary schools today, so it’s very well known.

Y!mobile x Filmest Collaboration CM: “Fictional Masterpiece Sketch” Edition

Filmest Collaboration CM “Fictional Masterpiece Sketch” Version

This installment of the collaborative commercial series with Filmest TV depicts a suspect being interrogated by a detective.

When the detective presses him to reveal his accomplices, the suspect takes a hard line, insisting he won’t betray his partners.

However, the moment he hears that Y!mobile offers up to 10,000 yen for referring four people, he changes his tune and readily gives up the names.

With its nostalgic visual style and humor-infused direction, it’s a memorable and entertaining ad you’ll want to watch over and over.

Free Student Discount: Transfer Student EditionTWICE, Tetsuro Degawa, Futenyan

TWICE transfer student: “It’s ‘T-WICE’!” Y pose / Y!mobile commercial 15 seconds

A commercial with the concept that members of TWICE transfer to Y!mobile Academy.

It started airing in February 2018, and TWICE’s parody of the familiar “Y.M.C.A.” as the CM song became a hot topic.

Apparently, it’s a pun on “T-WICE” and “Y!” (Y-Mobile), which feels a bit forced—and that’s what makes it amusing.

New Year’s Fute-Nyan Can PPAPMirei Kiritani, Piko Taro, Futenyan

Y!mobile CM 'New Year Fute-Nyan Can PPAP' Version 30 Seconds

Y!mobile’s New Year TV commercial in 2017 became a hot topic, featuring a collaboration between Pikotaro—who was enjoying a worldwide boom at the time—and popular actress Mirei Kiritani.

The CM uses a parody of Pikotaro’s signature song, “PPAP,” as its jingle.

Riding the “PPAP” rhythm, it shows the familiar CM cat, Futenyan, merging with a can, and even features a New Year’s mochi display (kagami mochi), making it entertaining from start to finish without losing your attention.
