Ajinomoto’s commercial song. A popular jingle.

Tea for twoDoris Day

Doris Day – Tea for two

It was used in the corporate advertisement “To the World” for Ajinomoto’s 100th anniversary.

It’s a tune that’s long been familiar to the ear, and its unfading feel captures the spirit of a centennial, I think.

The commercial uses an arranged version, but Doris Day’s rendition is also cute and wonderful.

I want to hug you.kome kome CLUB

I want to hold you C-C-B

It’s the commercial song for the “Chanto Chanto no Ajinomoto” campaign.

Even around that time, they seemed to be a cheerful, flamboyant band, and beyond the music itself, they were fun showmen.

The song expresses both the anxiety and excitement of love.

Maybe because of Kome Kome Club’s distinct character, they’ve collaborated with various types of companies as well.

E. Elgar / Pomp and Circumstance Marches, Op. 39: No. 1 in D major

This commercial portrays Noritake Kinashi and Ayaka Miyoshi as a family, highlighting how Cook Do supports their family time together.

By showing humorous moments—like voting on the menu or waiting with a bowl of rice for the main dish—it conveys the idea of deliciousness that accompanies happiness.

The music further amplifying those positive emotions depicted on screen is “Pomp and Circumstance.” Its expansive, powerful arrangement is striking, and you can sense a bright atmosphere and forward-looking emotions from the sound.

Liberty BellJohn Philip Sousa

Liberty Bell (The Bell of Freedom)

This commercial highlights just how delicious and authentic Cook Do is by showing a family utterly captivated by the twice-cooked pork.

In the ad, Ryoma Takeuchi is the one cooking the dish, and the way the children peer in on the process expresses their anticipation for the taste.

Including Minami Hamabe, everyone ends up smiling—strongly conveying the idea of a happiness-inducing deliciousness.

The background music used here is “The Liberty Bell,” whose distinctly march-like, upbeat, and powerful mood comes through.

Its intentionally springy performance is also a key point, making it a piece that conveys an overall positive and fun atmosphere.

It was used in ‘Salad Sauce Orange.’ It has a refreshing, nostalgic sound that suits a salad dressing.

Since it’s said to be a work from the 1980s, there may have been many gentle songs like this around that time.

Apparently, the album containing this track is the only one that was released.

Before You Become a Memory / Spitz

It was used for the “Ajinomoto Gift • Safflower Oil.” Apparently, it was the first song to enter the Oricon chart.

Perhaps it resonated because it faithfully conveyed the lyrics.

It sings of the complex, hard-to-part feelings of two people who are breaking up.

The sound has a nostalgic feel, like something I used to hear a little earlier than this.

Original song

“CookDo Today’s Big Plate” Meat-Miso Cabbage / Melty Egg Pork & Cabbage — Mom’s Cabbage Edition 30s, Eiko Koike

This commercial features interactions between Eiko Koike and children to highlight how easy and delicious today’s big-plate dishes—meat miso cabbage and silky egg pork-and-cabbage—are.

It conveys that the flavor is so beloved by kids it’s known as “Mom’s cabbage,” and that it’s simple to make.

A key point is that two types of dishes are introduced, showing how they can add variety to everyday menus.

The light background music also stands out, giving a relaxed, everyday-life feel.
