SoftBank commercial: Offering answers to social challenges. “Smartphone Class: Disaster Preparedness Course” edition

Masaharu Fukuyama appears in SoftBank’s disaster-preparedness-themed commercial.

It introduces a class on disaster preparedness using smartphones, offered through SoftBank’s smartphone workshops.

The background music is Fukuyama’s signature song “Kazoku ni Narou yo” (“Let’s Become a Family”), but for this commercial they used a special version with an original arrangement.

It might be interesting to compare it with the original and listen for the differences.

Ja-nay

Ja-nay

The LINEMO commercial introducing their value-for-money plans features Haruna Kawaguchi and the comedy duo Yoneda 2000.

In both the “Dance” and “Talk” versions, a cover of the song “Ja-nay,” which was once used on the show “Ponkikkies,” plays as they highlight the great deals.

The upbeat, cheerful melody is striking—and once you hear it, it’s so catchy it’ll stick in your head for a while.

#BestPhonesForever: The Sketchy Wi‑Fi Episode

This cleverly sarcastic, quintessentially international-style commercial is for Google’s smartphone, the Pixel.

It’s structured as a conversation between the rival devices—the iPhone and the Pixel—in which the Pixel’s advantages over the iPhone are revealed one after another.

In the latter half of the ad, a phrase from the song “Guerrilla” by San plays.

The snippet used in the commercial gives off a cool vibe, but if you listen to the whole track, you’ll be captivated by its catchiness and bright, fun atmosphere.
