Sapporo Senshuan Yama-Oyaji TV Commercial

This commercial expresses the bear depicted on Sapporo Senshuan’s “Yama-Oyaji” in a pop-style animation.

The unique design—a bear wearing skis and carrying a salmon on its back—comes across as fun thanks to the cute animation.

Further highlighting this pop imagery is the original “Yama-Oyaji” song performed by YUKI.

The lyrics are simple, merely describing the visuals, but combined with the light, breezy sound, they convey a bright, cheerful mood.

Our HouseCrosby, Stills, Nash & Young

Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young – Our House (Official Video)

The way we hear sound is our connection to the world and an essential part of building relationships with those around us.

This commercial introduces the hearing assistance features of AirPods Pro 2, which support that connection to the world and help maintain hearing health.

Memories built up with your child can become faint depending on how you hear them, but these features provide solid support—helping to sustain those relationships as well.

In this touching story about reliving memories with a child, the song the daughter performs is “Our House” by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.

The original is a band sound with piano, but its gentle tone fits perfectly with the stripped-down, singer-songwriter style used in the commercial.

Someday, by Spike Jonze | AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation

This commercial portrays a protagonist carrying the pain of heartbreak in a cold, icy world, while also conveying the Active Noise Cancellation feature of AirPods 4.

Although the protagonist’s expressions differ between past and present, both are memorably shown conversing with AirPods 4 in their ears.

The song playing during the somber scenes in the first half set in the icy world is “El Conticinio” by Guitarricadelafuente.

Composed solely of guitar and vocals, the simple piece—with its overall calm sound—powerfully conveys a sense of loneliness.

Someday, by Spike Jonze | AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation

This commercial conveys how the AirPods 4’s Active Noise Cancellation supports you every day, whether you’re happy or feeling lonely.

It shifts through different worlds—like moving from a lonely, ice-bound world to a past recollection, and then unfolding into a colorful world.

The song playing during the dance scene in the latter, colorful world is “Perfect.” The collision-like sound effects leave a strong impression, and the structure—where these intense sounds gradually increase—clearly communicates the song’s build-up.

While the overall mood isn’t exactly bright, it’s a curious track that still feels lively thanks to the layering of various sounds.
