In February 2024, a series of memorable commercials accompanied by moving songs appeared one after another.

From ABC-MART’s ad featuring Zutto Mayonaka de Iinoni.’s “O-Benkyou Shitoite yo” to The Premium Malt’s commercial that fused jazz with Tani Yuuki’s “W/X/Y,” the CM songs during this period were truly diverse and striking.

In this article, we’ll take a closer look at the latest CM songs from February 2024.
