Masayoshi Yamazaki – “One more time, One more chance” MUSIC VIDEO [4K Quality]

This is a Maker’s Mark commercial featuring Shun Oguri as Dracula.

It portrays a conversation between Dracula and a woman who love each other, creating a somewhat bittersweet story.

However, in the final part, there’s a humorous twist where Dracula gets the woman’s name wrong.

The commercial, which depicts the sweet story of the two, uses Masayoshi Yamazaki’s “One more time, One more chance” as its BGM.

This 1997 classic pairs a gentle melody with lyrics about unfulfilled feelings for a loved one.

Kaela Kimura – Ready, set, go! (Official Music Video)

This piece, which portrays innocent and pure children and their families, is the Serena commercial titled “Children Open Up the World.” Kids’ actions and words can sometimes seem chaotic, but thanks to them, we’re able to enjoy wonderful days—this narration from a father’s perspective is truly lovely.

The scenes of the family going out together in the Serena are charming as well, making it a heartwarming commercial to watch.

Boukensha

After posing the question “What is a Land Cruiser?” at the beginning of the commercial, it cuts to striking footage of the Dakar Rally, known as the world’s toughest motorsport.

The determined looks of the drivers and mechanics are unforgettable—and incredibly cool.

The CM’s background music features Shonan no Kaze’s newly written track “Bōkensha” (Adventurer).

Its powerful, encouraging lyrics—so in tune with the commercial’s theme—are a major draw.

You like whisky, don’t you?Nayoshie / Nakamura Kaho / Mochida Kaori

You like whisky, don’t you?

Featuring scenes from the Hakushu and Yamazaki distilleries and actress Haruka Igawa enjoying whisky, this is the Kaku Bottle commercial “Distillery Quality.” The narration explains that the quality of the distillery leads to the delicious taste of the whisky.

The familiar song ‘Whisky ga, Osukidesho’ plays as the BGM, but it’s not sung by Sayuri Ishikawa.

This time, the background music is performed by three female singers: Megumi Noda, Kaho Nakamura, and Kaori Mochida.

It’s an impressively star-studded collaboration that not only surprises you but also makes you want to hear the full version.
