- (Credit to Jim Ballard for finding the commercials)
The following are commercials airing in the late 90's (starting in 1998), promoting the Sega Dreamcast!
In 1998, Hidekazu Yukawa, Senior Managing Director of Sega, became an overnight celebrity in Japan when he began appearing in Sega commercials that were promoting their upcoming console, the Dreamcast.
Yukawa’s acting was so good that it convinced viewers that he was a professional actor. After the public viewed the first few commercials he was in, Sega was flooded with emails and phone calls that were praising him.
He was so famous, Sega decided to put his face on the back of Dreamcast boxes so it could attract more customers into buying a Dreamcast. Sega also gave him his own website. Развлечения
RIP to Hidekazu Yukawa.
Just came to pay my respect to a great man, rip Mr Yukawa.
What happened to him?
R.I.P. Hidekazu Yukawa, thanks for bringing SEGA Dreamcast into the world 🙏
This style of advertising was unique for games at the time, more personal and tells an actual story
Dreamcast really was the gift that keeps on giving. I never knew about these ads or Hidekazu Yukawa but this is just another reason why I’m so glad I grew up with a Dreamcast.
Arigato Gozaimasu Hidekazu Yukawa-san 🙏🏻 RIP
RIP Director Yukawa. we love your Commercial adverts.
These commercials were awesome back in the day. Still my favorite console of all time. RIP Hidekazu Yukawa ❤
I’m gonna miss him so much
Man, these commercials are gold. I wish I seen this back in the day, but glad I got to now. He kinda reminds me of the dad in Incredible Crisis with his luck.
So cool all this ads show you a history.
This guy was awesome.
We lost one of the most talented entrepreneurs in all of SEGA and the industry 😔
These commercials were audacious, funny and creative. Far from the cliché console commercials we have in the west
Dreamcast now is one of the most loved console of all time. Thanks for your awesome work, Yukawa san
I feel like I would love commercials in the west waaay more if they had a story arc like this!
I swear 90% of the commercials are like Easter eggs that happened in later Yakuza games....
RIP Oyabun
RIP
you are always my greatman
Your channel is such a cool archive
R.I.P. Hidekazu Yukawa
This is really heart broken commercial.... Although i spend my childhood with playstation... I wished if i also did the same with sega saturn and dreamcast...
Now as retro player... I have both saturn and dreamcast...and start collecting some games for them...
Never be late...
0:47 R.I.P: Hidekazu Yukawa
Holy crap, I love these ads. You would think they would be singing Sega’s praises but no…
LOL. There are so many things that don't translate well across cultures but these ads are brilliant.
Gold commercials, idea, editing. Pure gold
Rip to a legend
0:20 Proto-Kiryu and Proto-Majima
I love Dreamcast
RIP, that guy was awesome
I loved the Dreamcast. Although I loved the PS1, I hated the PS2 for killing Dreamcast, and I never gave its expansive library its due respect or time, and I never will. The spirit of Sega died with the Dreamcast. Rest in peace.
I never knew Alberto Fujimori was the representative for dreamcast
RIP Yukawa-san. 🙏🏻😞
I'm so glad I bought a Dreamcast at launch. The only problem was I was into the import scene while territory lockout was still a thing. I still have my launch day DC. I also had the launch Xbox instead of a PS2 as Sega games were exclusive to them at the time. I still have JSRF, and Panzer Dragoon Orta.. I sadly let go of Gunvalkyrie, but I'm probably going to repurchase on my next trip to Japan.
Never in my life did I see these and I loved them. Thanks for making this.
R.I.P., Yukawa.
If only ps2 didn't hadn't.
Hidekazu Yukawa grazie,riposa in pace.👏
Respect HIDEKAZU SAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
RIP Legend 🌀
Reposez en paix Monsieur Sega 🙏
Rest in peace... Yukawa-san. :(
R.I.P Legend
Now, maybe this is just the result of me not being some master genius at marketing, but I feel like having a bunch of commercials that say people don't want the Dreamcast, isn't going to move units.
That being said, I love how the first commercial is basically a proto-Yakuza in tone.
What do you expect from a bunch of people who can't do anything on their own without their senpai's approval lol
As long as someone "above" you approved it, it's daijoubu
A country stuck in an inescapable nosedive.
@@jayroi1814 At least with the Saturn, their commercials implied you should buy it or Segata Sanshiro will throw your ass so hard it explodes.
@@jayroi1814 LMAO
nah, it eventually became Yukawa apologizing for not having enough units in stores, which is a pretty awesome and bittersweet way to end these commercials
Rest in Peace!
