Daiwa Man

The newest Daiwa House commercial introduces a super hero:

After the first cut of a Daiwa House commercial, the director tells the actor he needs to speak to him about the next cut. Back in the trailer, the director explains that he will need the actor to put on a ridiculous super hero costume and become Daiwa Man. The actor is so shocked that he can barely talk.

I’m sorry – but what exactly makes that a “ridiculous super hero costume” when compared to all the other Japanese super hero costumes?

Does anyone know what theme/song is it from at 0:27 onwards? The drumming sounds awfully familiar and I can’t recall where I heard it from and its driving me crazy …

That is a scary looking superhero.

@Vonskippy – I think the ridiculous-factor isn’t so much the costume design but why exactly would a housing company need a superhero?

The actor 役所広司 (Kōji Yakusho) is not expected to wear such superhero costumes.

I prefer the Daiwa Houchu ones more.
