Wow, that is an awesome commercial! I really love the interaction between them, it's just funny.
There's a Seibu commercial up on YouTube actually, which looks rather pretty, but not nearly as funny/engaging as the Hawks one. Features a ball traveling to/from various Lions players (I spotted Wakui, Ginjiro, Nakajima, and Onodera at least) with the team slogan "One heart, One Power" on it.

I like these commercial links. Does anybody know of any more? Especially for Yomiuri and Hanshin? Yoroshiku.

Check out Deanna's blog. She's got links to the whole series of Strong Hawks commercials, as well as their commercials from 2006.
About
This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.
It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.

One of the commercials really struck me as a great production. It's the commercial for the Hawks season opening. The YouTube version appears to be cut short from what JSports is showing. It's got Saitoh and Matsunaka in a boxing ring with the rest of the team surrounding it. Saitoh is throwing the ball to Matsunaka, and Matsunaka is hitting one bounders and line drives back to Saitoh. At one point Matsunaka's bat shatters on a hit out of the ring. Finally, Kokubo challenges Saitoh (the exchange is much longer than the YouTube version). It's a commercial with impact.
Too bad we don't get to see what Seibu put together with the Matsuzaka money. But it'd be hard to beat Softbank's.
