[August 2025] CM Song Compilation (11–20)

Shionogi Pharmaceutical: “For the ones you love.” (Version)

Let’s walkikimonogakari

Miki Fujimoto shares what she ‘picked up’ from family life: ‘Suddenly, a weird dance party breaks out…’ Shionogi’s new TV commercial: “For the Ones You Love.”

This commercial uses a grand, forward-looking song by Ikimono-gakari that encourages us to keep moving ahead, but its message is that COVID-19 is still spreading, so we shouldn’t let our guard down—let’s stay mindful of hygiene and seek early diagnosis before things get worse.

Miki Fujimoto’s friendly persona really shines through, doesn’t it?

Iwatani Corporation: “Shaping the Future of Hydrogen at the Expo – MAHOROBA”

MAHOROBA ~Fighting Spirit~Hakasé Tarō

Iwatani Corporation CM: “A hydrogen-powered future at the Expo — MAHOROBA Edition”

Taro Hakase’s piece here has an appealing, forward-looking tone that aligns well with Iwatani Corporation’s concept of opening the future with hydrogen.

The rich orchestral sound also seems to symbolize a bright future.

It looks like we’ll be able to experience a hydrogen-powered boat at the Expo, which is intriguing as well.

Hoyu TryAndColor project × AKASAKI collaboration commercial

Kiss Kiss KissAKASAKI

【AKASAKI】Kiss Kiss Kiss (Lyric Video)

Kiss Kiss KissAKASAKI

This slightly sepia-toned, jazz-like track is by AKASAKI.

The lyrics, which sing about a woman’s hair, are perfect for a hair color commercial.

The tagline in the ad—“We can be dyed any color”—is great too, isn’t it?

Boat Racing Episode 8: "Sasano’s Exercises"

Chase the ShineSPYAIR

Chase the Shine

Chase the ShineSPYAIR

This commercial shows the morning exercises that are part of a boat racer’s daily routine and delves into the spirit of a veteran racer played by Takashi Sasano.

Boat racing is a sport where people of all ages and genders can excel, and Seiichi Takatsuka—the model for Sasano’s character—continued to compete as an active racer even past the age of 70.

In this CM, Nako Yabuki highlights how Sasano approaches boat racing to his junior, Oshiro Maeda, and many viewers were likely moved by that attitude.

The BGM features SPYAIR’s “Chase the Shine.” Alongside imagery evocative of boat racing, the lyrics depict someone forging their own path with the resolve of “I absolutely don’t want to lose!”—a message that ignites the listener’s spirit.

Ichi Kensetsu CM: 'A House Where Love Grows'

It’s a heartwarming commercial that shows, with photos, how a boy’s family grows—like when his younger brother is born and when they welcome a dog.

You can feel the desire to build a cherished home where the family can live together for a long time.

The background music is an arrangement of “A Lover’s Concerto,” which was created based on “Minuet.” While “Minuet” is in 3/4 time, “A Lover’s Concerto” is in 4/4 time.

The version used in the commercial features a warm arrangement that makes use of humming, which suits the mood of the ad very well.

Kirin Beer Kirin Ichiban Shibori Summer Greeting “Song” Version / “Message” Version

BOY MEETS GIRLTRF

TRF / BOY MEETS GIRL

BOY MEETS GIRLTRF

This is a Kirin Ichiban commercial featuring Hikari Mitsushima, whose cheerful singing leaves a strong impression.

Mitsushima dances light steps to the rhythm of the song, and her buoyant mood feels contagious even through the screen.

By the way, the tune she’s humming is TRF’s signature 1994 hit “BOY MEETS GIRL.” Set to the era-defining TK sound, it portrays a love story that makes the heart flutter.

Spotify | “Music for Your Every Day” Drive DJ Edition (Extended Version)

In this commercial, which starts with a driving scene, it’s mentioned that the family usually takes turns choosing the in-car music.

Prompted by her mother’s words, “Isn’t it your turn today, Hinano?”, the daughter puts on a song.

From her choice, the mother senses that something is troubling her.

She then casually starts a conversation with, “So, how have you been lately?” It’s a wonderful ad that portrays family interactions centered around music.

The song the daughter chooses in this CM is tuki.’s “Seesaw,” a piano ballad that likens a complicated love affair to a seesaw.
