GO!!!Hitsuji Bungaku

The 2024 commercial “100 PROMISE” for Shuto Iko, Osaka Isen, and Nagoya Isen.

It’s a commercial that presents the schools’ beliefs, featuring actual scenes from the schools and Miyu Ogawa dancing against a sunset backdrop.

The rock tune playing in the background is Hitsujibungaku’s “GO!!!.” While the heavily distorted guitar sound is striking, the clean, resonant vocals are equally memorable in this track.

Into the DreamFujihara Sakura

This commercial features Sakura Fujiwara covering and singing Yosui Inoue’s famous song, “Yume no Naka e.” Fujiwara’s fresh look paired with her slightly mellow alto voice is wonderful.

Going to an unfamiliar place and, instead of your usual hamburger, opting for a pie—perhaps some viewers felt tempted to imitate that setup.

Sony Music’s “#NewNatsumero Begins” spot poses a question that reexamines the definition of a ‘natsumero’ (nostalgic hit).

In the commercial’s narration, it looks back on the last ten years and suggests shifting the window of what counts as a nostalgic song forward by a generation.

The CM features PSPs, Walkmans, and iconic tracks from the 2010s, which will surely feel nostalgic to many people now around their 30s.

The background music is Hot Chelle Rae’s “Tonight Tonight,” a classic pop-rock hit released in 2011.

Many listeners will recognize it—and for plenty, the sound itself will spark nostalgia.
