However, the ad ends with a humorous twist: Dongitsune, played by Mr.

Melty Knit is a sure bet of a garment. (30 seconds) GLOBAL WORK

Featuring Yuriko Yoshitaka and Hio Miyazawa as a couple, this is GLOBAL WORK’s commercial titled “Melty Knit: You Can’t Go Wrong.” It depicts a dinner scene celebrating Yoshitaka’s birthday, and the sweet atmosphere between the two is striking.

Both of them are wearing GLOBAL WORK’s Melty Knit.

The soft, pleasant texture is described as “melting,” which inspired the name Melty Knit.

It’s the kind of feel that probably makes many people want to go to the store and try it for themselves, isn’t it?

Nissin Foods Nissin Donbei “Everything is different East” version / “Everything is different West” versionYuriko Yoshitaka, Rikito Itagaki

It’s well known that Donbei’s soup base differs between eastern and western Japan, and this commercial announces that not only the broth but also the noodles and the fried tofu will be tailored to regional tastes.

The ad features Yuriko Yoshitaka and Rihito Itagaki as the Don-Gitsune.

Their conversation feels so natural that you can’t help but get drawn in by how pleasant it is to listen to.

“Sukkirei Knit is a can’t-go-wrong piece.” (30-second version) GLOBAL WORK

In this commercial featuring Yuriko Yoshitaka and Hio Miyazawa as a couple, the Sukkirei Knit sold at GLOBAL WORK is introduced.

Just seeing the catchphrase “Clothes you can’t go wrong with” makes you think, “I want to try it on at least once,” doesn’t it? The song playing in the background of the CM is “Present” by singer-songwriter TOMOO.

It’s about the fluttery excitement of choosing a gift while thinking of someone special, packed with affection for a loved one.

SMBC (Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation) Olive: “Strangers” / “The Murmurer”Yuriko Yoshitaka, Takumi Kitamura

This features Takumi Kitamura, who has opened an account with Olive and is living conveniently, and Yuriko Yoshitaka, who is still going about her days without knowing about Olive.

In the “The Unaware One” version, we see Kitamura’s bewildered expression as he wants to tell Yoshitaka about Olive but can’t, creating a sense of narrative in the way the two pass by each other.

In the “The Murmurer” version, Yoshitaka utters slightly poetic words, which are overheard by a middle-aged man; the scene then flows into him speaking about his own desires.

The music in these commercials is from Act 1 of Georges Bizet’s opera Carmen.

The chic arrangement of the brilliant original melody gives the ads a subtly mysterious, story-like quality.
