At the end, Onishi sets up with “Good things come to…” and Ohashi lands a perfect punchline with “Those who are dressed!” followed by the whole group chiming in with a collective retort—an amusing twist to watch.

The BGM features their 2025 release “Doki it,” a bright, uptempo rock tune with uplifting lyrics.

The theme is Coming of Age Day, and this commercial packs an emotional parent–child story into just one minute.

In the beginning, the narrator expresses gratitude to the mother who wakes them every morning with a cheerful “good morning” and prepares the usual breakfast.

Then, on the morning of Coming of Age Day depicted in the latter half, the son prepares breakfast for his mother, and we see her eating it through tears.

It’s such a moving story that it brings tears to the eyes of the viewer as well.

The BGM that colors this CM is “Mahou no Kotoba,” a song the same age as the new adults of 2025.

From the year of its release to its lyrics and overall feel, every aspect makes it a perfect match for this commercial.
