Bizarre Japanese commercial

They are advertising a liquid to deal with athletes foot (A problem suffered by many Japanese because of their public bath culture). I think the octopus represents the “athletes foot” fungus and the girls is trying to get rid off it. Furthermore, giant octopus have an erotic meaning in Japanese culture Do you have any other theories about the hidden meaning of this commercial?
