Naruto, Mr. Osomatsu, Chibi Maruko-chan Enjoy a Night Out in Restaurant App Ads
posted on by Ken Iikura-Gross
Japanese restaurant app Hot Pepper Gourmet launched a series of collaboration commercials with Naruto, Mr. Osomatsu, Tensai Bakabon, and Chibi Maruko-chan on Sunday. The three sets of commercials feature Naruto and Kakashi, the Matsuno sextuplets with Tensai Bakabon's Papa, and Maruko Sakura and Tomozō Sakura enjoying a night out in different restaurants. The Mr. Osomatsu/Tensai Bakabon commercial also has seven variations focusing on one of the sextuplets or Papa.
The Hot Pepper Gourmet X (formerly Twitter) account teased the commercial campaign in a series of posts on Saturday. The posts show the different restaurants with the silhouettes of the Naruto, Mr. Osomatsu, Tensai Bakabon, and Chibi Maruko-chan characters, and a caption capturing the concept of the respective commercial.
