Memorable Commercials [May 2025] (131–140)
BlueRob Simonsen
A commercial shows people taking photos in various places—around town, in nature, at home, and at live venues—capturing whatever they like.
They’re all using iPhones, highlighting how easy it is to take photos if you have one.
The calm, memorable piano piece playing in the CM is Blue by Rob Simonsen.
Known for film scores as well, his composition is simple yet perfectly suited to the commercial’s mood, with a heartwarming melody.
Don’t Let GoTerrace Martin
This commercial highlights that even the smallest-capacity model in the iPhone 15 series comes with 128GB of storage.
When a man tries to delete a photo of an older woman, the woman’s mouth in the photo moves and says, “Don’t Let Me Go.” In Japanese, that would mean something like “Don’t throw me away,” emphasizing that there’s plenty of storage so you don’t need to delete photos.
The song used as the commercial’s BGM is “Don’t Let Go” by American artist Terrace Martin.
The distinctive, heavily processed vocals leave a strong impression—you hear it once and it’s unforgettable.
The version used in the commercial has slightly different lyrics from the original, so try listening and see if you can spot what’s changed.
This Strange EffectThe Shacks
This commercial introduces the Portrait mode featured on the iPhone 8 Plus.
In the first half, it shows a woman walking while singing; in the latter half, it highlights the features of Portrait mode by photographing the woman and changing the background.
The woman appearing in the commercial is Shannon Wise, the vocalist of the band The Shacks, who performed the featured song “This Strange Effect.” Her whisper-like vocals are striking, and the sound has a pleasant, slightly nostalgic feel.
Dancing In The FlamesThe Weeknd
This commercial introduces the fact that the music video for The Weeknd’s 2024 track “Dancing In The Flames” was shot on an iPhone 16 Pro.
Presented like a behind-the-scenes look at the MV, the ad shows The Weeknd being filmed with an iPhone.
It’s hard to believe footage like this was created with the smartphones we hold every day, but the spot directly conveys just how powerful the device is.
The BGM is, of course, “Dancing In The Flames,” featuring a clear, beautiful vocal laid over a driving beat.
It’s a track that’s both stylish and so pleasing you’ll want to keep listening.
Thus Spoke ZarathustraRichard Georg Strauss
This is the commercial titled “Duo,” introducing the Plus series first launched with the iPhone 6.
It compares the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus side by side, highlighting how the larger screen of the Plus series offers greater convenience.
The background music, sung a cappella by a male voice, is Richard Strauss’s Also sprach Zarathustra.
While most people will recognize this grand orchestral melody, surprisingly many may not know its title.
premonitionRAN
A commercial for the Fujitrans Group, a comprehensive logistics company based in Aichi Prefecture.
It portrays the people who work there and the feelings of “love” they have for what they do.
It conveys, with a refreshing touch that overlaps with Ran’s performance, the idea that it’s precisely because they love their teammates and their work that they can achieve greater results.
Since the ad airs only in the limited regions of Aichi, Gifu, and Mie, you can also feel the affection for the local community.
The song that firmly highlights the warmth of the visuals and their breezy atmosphere is Ran’s “Yokan” (Premonition).
A gentle band sound centered on acoustic guitar blends with her vocals, evoking a sense of hope that looks toward the future.
After-School Universe &TEAM ver.&TEAM
This commercial features &TEAM promoting after-school time spent happily with friends, and the perfect pairing of cola and chicken that makes it even more exciting.
It shows, through lively movements including dance, how the easily available combo of chicken and cola is a surefire match and a simple way to share happiness with friends.
The song that really brings out the fun atmosphere of the visuals is &TEAM’s “After-School Universe.” Set to a powerful rhythm that highlights the group’s signature dance appeal, the lyrics humorously celebrate the compatibility of cola and chicken.
