remember night

This is a New Year’s sale commercial that aired at the end of 2022 for the 2023 season.

It shows rabbits walking around carrying Apple gift cards, iPhones, and MacBooks—so cute and somehow heartwarming, isn’t it? The BGM, which has a festival-like vibe, is DE DE MOUSE’s “remember night.” It’s a striking piece that blends Japanese tradition with modern electronic sounds.

This is a commercial introducing a campaign titled “Tokunald,” which makes McDonald’s more affordable.

First, two ads aired: the “Daily Coupons” version, which announces that special coupons will be released each day, and the “McDonald’s French Fries” version, which promotes fries for 250 yen.

Masato Sakai’s rapid-fire narration draws you in and makes you think, “Maybe I should go to McDonald’s!”

Don’t Fence Me InAmyl and the Sniffers

Don’t Fence Me In

This is an introductory commercial for the iPad mini that aired in 2021.

The song playing in the commercial is by Amyl and the Sniffers, a band formed in Melbourne, Australia.

They’re a group that strongly evokes the primal energy of punk, rock ’n’ roll, and garage.

“Don’t Fence Me In” is characterized by its fast, rough, and ragged sound that barrels forward like a lump of raw energy, making it an extremely exhilarating track to listen to.

This commercial, which also suggests ways to use McDonald’s beyond just meals, is memorable for Aoi Miyazaki enjoying a Japanese-style Ichigo Daifuku Pie so deliciously.

The song is “Uh Fu Fu Fu,” released by EPO in 1983.

Even though it’s quite an old track, it has retained its freshness and is recognized as a standard tune, isn’t it?

Re:name「Light」Music Video

This video, packed with the charms of Ise-Shima, is a commercial from the Kintetsu Group, which operates the railway lines connecting Osaka and Nagoya to Ise-Shima.

It opens with footage of Ise Grand Shrine, exuding a sacred atmosphere, followed by one beautiful scene after another.

The element that gives the commercial a more refined, luxurious feel is the tone of the background music, “Light (Genius ver.).” It’s a track by the Osaka band Re:name, and its beautiful vocals paired with a refreshing band sound leave a strong impression.
