Along with the spring breeze, a wave of brand-new commercial songs for March 2025 has arrived! Have you ever found yourself stopping whatever you were doing when a melody casually slipped into your ears while watching TV or browsing video sites? From a UNIQLO ad where Haruka Ayase and Yumi Kawai dance lightly to the sound of a Southern All Stars track, to an animation-style spot beautifully paired with a newly written song by Keina Suda, this spring’s CM songs are especially memorable.

In this article, we’ll take a closer look at the buzzy commercial songs that aired in March!

Latest Commercial Songs [March 2025] (31–40)

JR East Suica “Tami-chan Moves to Tokyo” Edition

Only oneAoba Ichiko

This commercial portrays the scene of Tami-chan, played by Ikoi Hayase, moving to Tokyo, while also depicting the warmth of the people seeing her off.

Although her parents oppose it, she decides to move to Tokyo; during the send-off, she notices that the Suica card she was given has been preloaded, and she feels their warmth.

That human kindness is further emphasized by Ichiko Aoba’s performance of “Hitotsu Dake.” The blend of gentle piano tones and a fragile-sounding vocal is striking, and the song conveys, with heartfelt sincerity, the importance of human connection.

Recruit Car Sensor “Carsensor’s High” version

L’Arc～en～Ciel「Driver’s High」-Music Clip-

Driver's HighL'Arc〜en〜Ciel

This commercial conveys the fulfillment and joy of a life with a car through the image of Nanao speeding along in a vehicle.

The fact that the car racing through is an older model is also a key point, suggesting that with Car Sensor you can find your ideal car.

The song used in this commercial is L’Arc~en~Ciel’s “Driver’s High.” Its lyrics and sound capture the exhilaration of driving, and it also conveys a sense of hope—like carving out your own future through your own strength.

In fact, the commercial’s footage is a parody of the song’s music video, so try comparing the two.

Miss Brand-New Day (2024 Remaster)

In a commercial for one of their flagship products, the “Kando Pants,” they introduce why they’re called “Kando” (moving/inspiring).

The CM highlights that thanks to their high stretch and light weight, they’re easy to move in and very comfortable, and their quick-drying feature makes them perfect for everyday wear.

The expressions of Haruka Ayase and Kohei Matsushita while wearing the Kando Pants are particularly striking.

The BGM features Southern All Stars’ “Miss Brand-New Day,” a refreshingly pleasant track released in 1984.

This commercial focuses on the biggest appeal of one of Uniqlo’s most popular products, AIRism: its feel on the skin.

Featuring Haruka Ayase and Yuka Mukai, their smiles and the way they wear AIRism clearly convey its relaxed comfort.

Further enhancing that laid-back atmosphere is the song “Wasurerareta Big Wave” by Southern All Stars.

Its gentle sound conjures images of a calm seaside, while the nostalgic lyrics also evoke a touch of loneliness.

School Heaven

School HeavenFingā 5

Set in a snack bar with Takanori Nishikawa singing, this is a commercial for Asahi’s GINON.

In a snack bar run by Michiko Kichise, Nishikawa passionately performs a parody of “Gakuen Tengoku,” showcasing his outstanding vocal prowess to the fullest.

He’s basically just singing, but somehow it’s so entertaining that you want to watch it over and over.
