[September 2025] CM Song Roundup

Tearful KissSazan Ōrusutāzu

Tears' Kiss [2024 Remaster]

Here’s a Uniqlo commercial packed with a heartwarming episode in a short span of time.

Haruka Ayase and Yumi Kawai encounter each other on a train.

The atmosphere between them is awkward, and Kawai looks away from Ayase.

But Ayase approaches Kawai holding a mandarin orange, and they make up.

It seems they had a quarrel, as Kohei Matsushita is also shown calling Kawai with concern.

The background music is Southern All Stars’ 1992 release “Namida no Kiss.” Though the song is about a love drifting apart and the end of summer, the deep affection within its bittersweetness resonates with the interaction between Ayase and Kawai.

Galaxy Express 999

The idea that cars equal gasoline vehicles has changed quite a bit recently, hasn’t it? In this commercial, various benefits of electric vehicles are highlighted.

Among them, the ability to supply power from the car during a blackout is a major advantage, isn’t it? The background music is Godiego’s “Galaxy Express 999,” an insert song from the film Galaxy Express 999.

Its forward-looking lyrics are a perfect match for the commercial’s message of new possibilities and a bright future!
