Japanese candy company Nobel Co., Ltd. sells a popular brand of gummies called KAMEKAME SOURS. The brand is known for having the image of a turtle on its packaging and promotional images since kamekame (not to be confused with kamekameha) can mean both "turtle turtle" and "chew chew" in Japanese.

Continuing from the previous campaign, actor 亀梨和也 Kamenashi Kazuya, whose family name contains the word "turtle" in it, plays the role of the brand's image character, together with the Kamekame Kaijin turtle monster and the Wakamekame Kaijin wakame seaweed monster. Where the new commercial promotion diverges quite radically from its previous version is in its new gift campaign, presented in the guise of a luxury fashion brand...
