Nagakura Mfg. Co., Ltd. (President & CEO: Yusuke Nagakura) will broadcast the sequel to its TVCM series: the "Manufacturing" episode (30 sec), "Machine" episode (30 sec), "4 Major Bases" episode (30 sec), "Technology" episode (30 sec), and "New Business" episode (30 sec), along with 8 TikTok videos, starting Wednesday, April 22, 2026.
This is Nagakura Mfg.'s 3rd wave of recruitment ads. The theme is Manufacturing, abbreviated as "Mfg." We introduce scalable facts that make us a "global manufacturing" company, such as our products, equipment, factories, and collaboration with a French company. And this time, a mysterious female cast member makes a new appearance to further enhance the global atmosphere. As before, the expressions are infused with humor, but this time you can also feel a heartwarming sense of craftsmanship. Although our business may seem distant from everyday life, we hope this makes it feel a little closer to you. Also, we planned our first TikTok videos this time, hoping to bring some comfort to students job hunting.
From the same day until May 4, a theme train will run on the JR Tokai / Tokaido Main Line (Hamamatsu - Shizuoka - Atami). In addition, an OOH signboard ad will be placed inside the conventional line ticket gates at JR Numazu Station, so please pay attention to that as well. The ads heavily promote Nagakura Mfg.'s machines, which have inexplicably cool names.
