4	In the early part of TheNewTens, car company Toyota created a series of 25 ads in Japan featuring the cast of the TV show ''Manga/{{Doraemon}}'' to advertise the Toyota [=ReBorn=]. In these ads, the characters are depicted as live-action grown-ups rather than animated children like in the original show. Doraemon himself is portrayed by French actor Creator/JeanReno. [[{{Japandering}} Yeah]].
5	----
6	!!These ads contain the following tropes:
7	* TheAce: Dekisugi, the smartest and most athletic kid in the series, has grown up to become an Olympic athlete.
8	* ActorAllusion:
9	** Giant sings the Music/AKB48 hit song "Heavy Rotation" in his concert. His sister Jaiko, played by a member of said group, is delighted.
10	** When a car saleswoman starts RattlingOffLegal about Toyota's installment plan, Doraemon gives her the Translating Jelly (''Hon'yaku Kon'yaku''), which makes her speak more clearly... but in French. While Giant and Suneo become even more confused, the Jelly is probably translating for Doraemon, who is played by Jean Reno.
11	* AdaptationSpeciesChange: Here, Doraemon is human instead of a robot cat.
12	* AgeLift: In the original ''Doraemon'' series, the characters are children. Here, they're adults.
13	* ArtShift: A small handful of the ads show an animated clip of the characters as kids before skipping to their live-action, grown-up selves.
14	* BathtubScene: Even though (or ''because'') she's now an adult, Shizuka can't escape this.
15	* BigFancyHouse: Suneo is still rich and lives in one, complete with a CoolGarage full of Toyota cars.
16	* CelebrityCameo: [=AKB48=] members Mayu Watanabe and Rino Sashihara appear as personifications of the T-Connect satnav.[[labelnote:*]]In 2014, [=AKB48=] formed Team 8, a group of ''47 girls'' sponsored by Toyota, and they also lent their voices to Toyota's satnav.[[/labelnote]]
17	* CirclingBirdies: In one ad, Nobita gets a ring of spinning stars on the top of his head after he rides a toy car in circles.
18	* DreadfulMusician: Giant still believes he's a rock star and holds yet another ear-splitting concert in his supermarket. Shizuka is shown playing a violin so badly that it knocks out a ''bear'', despite having trained since childhood.
19	* GenerationXerox: Like his parents, Giant runs a shop, but in his case it's a supermarket. Whether it's an expansion of the FamilyBusiness is not explained.
20	* IdenticalGrandson: Nobita's multiple generations of descendants visit him for a joyride in his Toyota Noah minivan.
21	* {{Japandering}}: Starring Jean Reno as Doraemon.
22	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Suneo and Giant help Nobita practice his driving. When Suneo mentions that he's going out to meet a cute girl, Nobita suspects that it's Shizuka, but turns out he's taking his elderly parents and their friends from the nursing home out to the beach.
23	* KissMeImVirtual: Nobita falls in love with his satnav voice, which he personifies as idol Mayu Watanabe. After he confesses his feeling, however, the personification changes to the much sterner idol Rino Sashihara, who scolds him for wishing the impossible.
24	* LiveActionAdaptation: Of ''Manga/{{Doraemon}}''.
25	* MediumBlending: Some of the ads have animated clips in an otherwise live-action campaign.
26	* {{Premiseville}}: "Toyotown" signs feature prominently throughout the ads, referencing how they are made to sell Toyota cars.
27	* RecurringRiff: A song called "GROOOON" is played in the background [[OncePerEpisode once per ad]] in the first several ads.
28	* ScrewLearningIHavePhlebotinum: Nobita tries to avoid having to study for the driver's license test by using the Memory Bread... but eats too much and has to go to the bathroom right before the test, and flunks it.
29	* SheIsAllGrownUp: Jaiko is portrayed by none other than [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/510075.jpg Atsuko Maeda]], at the height of her Music/AKB48 popularity.
30	* SpeechImpediment: When Doraemon has a cold (although he's a robot), he tries to pull out the Anywhere Door from his magic pocket, but out comes the Toyota Noah (his pronunciation of "Door" sounds like "Noa"). Twice.
31	* TimeSkip: These ads show the ''Doraemon'' cast as adults living 20 years after the events of the original show.
32	* WhatIf: With Doraemon's What If Phone Booth, Jaiko temporarily alters reality into one where she marries Nobita. Even though Jaiko is no longer a {{Gonk}}, let's just say Nobita is miserable in that reality.
