It’s time to get hot and bothered with 10 different charming ladies.

Japan has a history of making excellent and sometimes bewildering commercials, be it promoting a can of coffee or a bottle of Calpis Soda. Adding to the ever-expanding list of quirky ads is a series of videos made by Kao, a Japanese company renowned for its cosmetic products.

The series of six-second ads promotes Kao’s latest deodorant for men, the Humming Fine DEO EX, by making viewers break out in a nervous sweat. And what better way to do that than with ten heart-pumping encounters with the opposite sex.

The first video shows the quintessential Japanese after-work drinking party, or nomikai, when colleagues bond together over a drink. The evening may mark the start of many exciting things to come when a demure coworker takes a seat beside you.

Did you break out in sweat when approached by those ladies? Humming Fine DEO EX removes stinky odor using patented “dry technology”, but if you prefer a cheaper option, perhaps just a plastic bottle under your arm pits will do.
