Recruit SUUMO “Ayami-san’s Imagination Expands” VersionAyami Nakajo

Pay attention to Ayami Nakajo’s adorably ever-changing expressions! SUUMO’s new TV commercial: “Ayami-san’s Imagination Expands”

This is SUUMO’s commercial “Ayami’s Imagination Expands,” featuring the familiar green fluffy character SUUMO and Ayami Nakajo.

Anyone who has actually searched for and chosen properties will understand: even if you think “This place might be good!” it can turn out to be underwhelming, cramped, or have other drawbacks when you see it in person.

But in this ad, the abundance of images on SUUMO helps you form a clear, accurate impression—so easy to understand! Even if you’re not looking for a place, it’s fun to look at the property photos, isn’t it?

Recruit SUUMO “Ayami-san Wants to Live Alone” VersionAyami Nakajo

Ayami Nakajo shocks her family with a sudden bombshell: “I want to live on my own!” SUUMO’s new commercial, “Ms. Ayami Wants to Live Alone.”

Suumo, the mascot character who’s also memorable as a “yuru-chara,” is modeled after a marimo.

He’s 10,030 years old, decided to leave his home planet Suumo, moved to Earth, and now lives here.

Apparently, he has family members and rivals with similar shapes but different colors.

Just like Suumo, who set off on a sudden journey away from his family, Ayami Nakajo has decided to strike out on her own—and Suumo is cheering her on.

The story goes that they find the perfect property for Fumi-san.

Living alone is something anyone can look forward to, isn’t it?

They each have their own priorities and images in mind, and as they show each other property details and photos on their phones, you can feel how close they are.

SUUMO pops in as usual in between (lol).

When you’re going to live together, it’s hard if your visions don’t match, but it’s great that you can search so easily with such a clear, user-friendly interface, isn’t it?

In SUUMO’s commercial introducing the site’s feature that lets you search by tracing an area on the map, Ryunosuke Kamiki makes an appearance! In a cramped home, Kamiki pedals a piece of exercise equipment, feeling cooped up.

Wanting to run in a more spacious place, he uses SUUMO’s trace-to-search function to draw a loop around a park.

When the traced results appear, Kamiki and SUUMO cheer, “This is it!” He moves into the place he found and even buys a bicycle so he can train to his heart’s content outdoors!
