Blog#3: Meiji Sport Milk (Shoko Yokota)

Hi, this is Shoko. I chose Meiji Sport Milk which is one of products of Meiji Holdings Corporation and the CM is shown below.


In the daytime, a woman runs around town and after she goes back to her house, she drinks Meiji sport milk.

We have an idea that milk is for children because milk is rich in nutrient so that helps child's growth. However the targets are not only children but also adults. Since adults have more options of drinks, they have less chance to drink milk but this product has a way to approach them. That is sport. Recently, adults have more concern with their health and we see many people are running and doing sports. Meiji suggests to drink Meiji Sport Milk after doing spot. Selling point is healthy milk with rich in protein, and low fat and that is also on its package too.

The actress appeared on the CM is 江角マキコ. She has cool, smart, and sporty images and is admired by men and women of all ages too. Although the character of this product is a bit boring, the choice of the actress is great.

It is actually a short CM-it has only 15 seconds, the message is really simple and easy to understand: if drink this milk after doing sports, you will be more healthy. It accelerates your metabolism and recovers muscle wasting.

Nobody thinks that drinking milk after doing sport is effective. Despite the length of the time, it works really well to tell its sells point and attractiveness.

Above all, it can be said that this CM succeeds to advertise this product.

  1. Hi, this is Ms. MacGregor. I agree with your interpretation of the ad, and like you say, though it is short, it sends a clear message to adults to drink milk. Have you tried this? I did. It is no different in taste from any other milk, except that it is much more expensive.
    Can you write the woman's name in English please?
    Also you can say "the commercial is only 15 seconds long."
    And it "tells its selling point."

  2. Hi, this is Kazu.

    Since I've never seen this commercial nor the product befor so I got really interested. I wonder if it tastes just like the ordinary milk or if it has some kind of extra taste in it. Maybe it would be a great idea to treat me next time you see me! Great observations on the commercial!

  3. Hi, this is Minori Nagata.I'm really impressed with the commercial because the color of the commercial is really good. But I wasn't able to understand the difference between normal milk and the milk.

  5. Hi, This is Marino.
    I've never seen this ad before, but it was an interesting ad since they targeted the adults.Usually, most ads about milk uses children as actors to let the parents buy for
    their children. However, the main actress is the famous actress who has a cool and sporty image, and her effects of using this ad will catch the attention of adults who want to stay healthy and good-shaped as she looks. Therefore, I think though this ad is bit short, it is qutie unique, and I think there are some kind of effects on watchers.
