Students and families too: Y!mobile Student Discount “Y!BAND Formation” EditionTOSHI, Riho Yoshioka, Mana Ashida, Takashi Niigaki

ToshI forms a new band with Riho Yoshioka and Mana Ashida! Unveils “Y.M.C.A” with an eclectic lineup! New Y!mobile TV commercial: “Y!BAND Formation” edition.

He’s an insanely good singer…

Playing the transfer student, Toshi from X JAPAN bursts into the classroom and suddenly shouts, “Let’s start a band!” And the band that comes together is the Y!BAND, featuring actress Riho Yoshioka, Mana Ashida, composer Takashi Niigaki, and Y!mobile’s mascot Futenyan—it’s a commercial.

The contrast between the recorder’s tone and the metal sound is really amusing.

Y!mobile Student Discount: “Deliver the Forgotten Item” EditionTetsurō Degawa, Riho Yoshioka, Mana Ashida

[CM] Y!mobile Y!mobile Student Discount

Here is the Y!mobile commercial themed around the Bakabon family, titled “Delivering Forgotten Items.” Riho Yoshioka, Mana Ashida, and Tetsurō Degawa appear, highlighting how the money you save with Y!mobile can go toward making a deluxe bento.

The school-uniform-clad ‘Futenyan’ is adorable, and at the end there’s the classic ‘Shee’ pose by Iyami, an indispensable character from Fujio Akatsuka’s manga.

It’s interesting how, even though it’s an old manga, it feels fresh again—like it’s come full circle.

Tada Student Discount: Rhythm Jump Rope Club (Version)Mirei Kiritani, Takumi Saitoh, Futenyan

Mirei Kiritani, Takumi Saitoh, and Tetsurou Degawa star in “Rhythm Jump Rope Club” 30-second version / Y!mobile CM 2

In this “Rhythm Jump Rope Club” commercial released in 2017, the familiar faces Mirei Kiritani, Takumi Saito, and Tetsuro Degawa appear alongside Nyanko Star, a comedy duo that was exploding in popularity at the time.

In the ad, Takumi Saito does an impersonation fully becoming Super Sansuke from Nyanko Star, and his over-the-top performance became a hot topic.

While Saito is usually known for his cool image, many people were likely surprised by just how generous he is with his comedic spirit.

Y!mobile’s basic fee is under 1,000 yen! “1,000-Yen Squid” versionMana Ashida, Tetsurō Degawa

Tetsuro Degawa gets hit in the face with squid ink! Can they nail it in one take? Y!mobile’s new TV commercial ‘1,000 Yen Squid’ and behind-the-scenes

This is Y!mobile’s commercial “Y!mobile’s basic fee is under 1,000 yen! The 1,000-Yen Squid” expressed in a realistic take on the world of Tensai Bakabon.

Tetsurō Degawa, channeling Bakabon’s Papa, really stands out, and Mana Ashida’s cuteness shines through.

Since the basic fee is under 1,000 yen, a squid with “¥1000” written on its body appears.

Then, as you’d expect from Y!mobile, the grumpy cat Futenyan leaps at the 1,000-yen squid, grabs it, and runs off.

In the end, just when it seems everything is safely back to normal, Papa gets a full blast of ink right in the face—that’s the punchline.

Y!mobile basic plan under 1,000 yen! ‘Hajime-chan Makes an Appearance’ EditionMana Ashida, Tetsurō Degawa, Kazuya Kojima

Mana Ashida jokes with Hajime-chan actor, Unjash’s Kojima?! “There, there, Kojima-chan.” Y!mobile’s new TV commercial ‘Hajime-chan Appears’ and making-of

This is the well-known Y!mobile commercial “Y!mobile’s basic fee is under 1,000 yen! Hajime-chan Appears,” featuring Tetsurō Degawa as Papa Bakabon and the very cute Mana Ashida as Bakabon.

Speaking of Bakabon, you can’t forget Hajime-chan, Bakabon’s little brother who’s a baby yet a genius.

As they talk about Y!mobile’s basic fee being under 1,000 yen, in comes Hajime-chan to add that unused data can be rolled over.

Hajime-chan is played by Koji Kojima of the comedy duo UNJASH, and as always, his sharp “tsukkomi” retorts shine in the commercial (lol).

Easy Smartphone 2 “One Easy Smartphone, please” versionMana Ashida, Tomio Umezawa, Futenyan

Mana Ashida’s adorable shop clerk delivers “god-tier service,” making Tomio Umezawa melt! Y!mobile’s new TV commercial “Easy Smartphone, please!” and behind-the-scenes footage

This is a commercial for the “Kantan Smartphone 2,” available from Y!mobile.

Mana Ashida plays a store clerk who persuades customers aged 60 and over to buy the “Kantan Smartphone 2,” with Tomio Umezawa giving a great performance as one such customer.

Futenyan, who teasingly throws the line “It’s easy” at Umezawa—who’s all too easily swayed—is absolutely adorable.

Whether it’s SoftBank’s dog who plays the father or Futenyan, animal characters are indeed soothing and have a strong presence, don’t they?
