Upon opening his eyes, Sosuke Ikematsu finds himself reincarnated in another world and in the middle of a wedding with Yuriko Yoshitaka.

Daiwa House D-ROOM “Freedom” VersionNEW!Kumi Takiuchi

[TVCM] D-ROOM: Freedom Version

This D-ROOM commercial focuses on the freedom of rental housing—unlike owning a home, you can move whenever you feel like it.

With “freedom” as the keyword, it promotes a comfortable lifestyle where you can be yourself without pretense.

Playing in the background of the beautifully shot video that portrays this sense of authenticity is a track by Meadow & Gen Tanabe.

Meadow’s warm vocals are especially striking, offering a soothing, healing listening experience.

Daiwa House D-ROOM “Axis” VersionNEW!Masaru Kasamatsu

[TV commercial] D-ROOM — Axis version

In this commercial, Masaru Kasamatsu plays an indecisive man.

It portrays how he just can’t make up his mind, whether in his personal life or at work.

When it comes to choosing a rental property, things get even tougher.

But he reminds himself that it’s important to have a guiding principle, and he chooses Daiwa House’s D-ROOM.

The commercial starts with humorous direction and ends with a line that really hits home, making for a well-crafted piece.

[TVCM] "And then, to the world." Version

In Japan, Daiwa House is a well-known company, and this commercial presents what Daiwa House wants to pursue next as a corporation.

It’s pretty cool.

Why Daiwa House? Series “HERO” Part 1Koji Yakusho

Koji Yakusho Daiwa House Commercial Compilation

This is a commercial featuring Koji Yakusho—familiar from Daiwa House—appearing as himself.

It’s the first installment of the Daiwaman series, which began airing in 2009.

Koji Yakusho delivers a cool performance in a leather jacket.

You might think he’s playing a slick, cool role this time, but Daiwa House won’t let that happen (lol).

Will Koji Yakusho become Daiwaman?

"Here, Together" (2020 Edition)Eri Fukatsu, Lily Franky

Daiwa House CM Eri Fukatsu, Lily Franky 'Here, Together 2020' Version

This is the “Here, Together 2020” installment of the popular series of commercials featuring Lily Franky and Eri Fukatsu as a married couple, known for their charming exchange that feels like they’re corresponding by letter.

As always, they speak in a calm, gentle tone, but what makes this one feel a little different is that we catch glimpses of the Tokyo Olympics, which were supposed to be held in 2020.

It seems likely that projects and interviews related to the Olympics had been moving forward.

It’s a lovely commercial that, albeit slowly, lets you feel time moving on.

Yuasa Town: Soy Sauce BoyShinobu Otake

[TV Commercial] Co-creation and Co-existence: “Yuasa Town – Soy Sauce Boy” Edition

The 2014 Daiwa House commercial “Co-Creation, Co-Existence: Yuasa Town Soy Sauce Boy.” Elementary school students visit the oldest soy sauce brewery in Yuasa Town, Arida District, Wakayama Prefecture.

They listen intently and with great curiosity to stories about how their town is the birthplace of soy sauce, the production process of the soy sauce made there, and how it spread nationwide.

You can really feel the importance of passing this on to children.

Shinobu Otake’s narration also fits perfectly.
