Catchy Commercial Jingles [April 2025]

Sinbad on the Shorepinku redii

Sinbad of the Seashore / Pink Lady

Pink Lady’s “Nagisa no Sindbad” was released in 1977 and is known as one of their signature songs.

It topped Oricon’s year-end chart for 1977, and its frequent single reissues and tie-ins also attest to its popularity.

With a summer-themed feel, the song sets the life of a confident woman to a lively sound.

As a commercial jingle, it’s often paired with bright, cheerful visuals, and the song’s energy helps the overall impression feel positive.

Morning of PartingPedoro & Kapurishasu

Morning of Parting

Pedro & Capricious’s “Wakare no Asa” (Morning of Parting) was released in 1971 and is known as one of the group’s signature songs.

The original is “Was Ich Dir Sagen Will” by Austrian singer Udo Jürgens, to which Rei Nakanishi added Japanese lyrics for this version.

The sound leans strongly toward kayōkyoku, giving it a different vibe from the original, and over this powerful arrangement the sorrow of parting is sung.

Because the song conveys a kind of strength that tries to shake off loneliness, when it’s used in commercials it tends to create an impression of emphasizing the power to move forward.

At HomeNakajima Miyuki

At Home

Miyuki Nakajima’s “Home nite (At the Platform)” is a song included on the B-side of the single “Wakare Uta,” released in 1977.

Despite being a B-side, it gained popularity thanks to numerous tie-ins, including being used as insert music for the drama “From the North Country” (Kita no Kuni Kara).

Set to a quiet, acoustic guitar–centered sound, it depicts the scene of a train platform bound for one’s hometown, imbued with both loneliness and warmth.

It was also used in a JR East commercial as a CM song; as a track themed around train stations, it conveys a warm atmosphere that evokes thoughts of one’s hometown.

VoicesYoshida Takeshi / Tanaka Yuusuke

Xperia Z5 TV commercial song 'Voices' FULL

This commercial highlights the compactness of the Xperia A4, conveying how easily it fits into everyday life through scenes from daily routines.

It mainly portrays Mari Manabe in her role as a housewife, showcasing the convenience of being able to hold the device even while doing other things precisely because it’s compact.

Another interesting point is how the relaxed, everyday visuals overlap with the tense song “Voices,” which has been used as the series’ CM song.

While the track doesn’t quite match the laid-back mood, it still effectively communicates Xperia’s technology and its steps toward the future.
