Ajinomoto’s commercial song. A popular jingle.

Takanori Iwata sings! New commercial: “Blendy” Stick Morning Au Lait! version (30 seconds)

This is a commercial that gently conveys the deliciousness of stick-type Blendy and how perfect it is for a relaxing morning.

By highlighting that the stick format lets you make café au lait in a flash, it shows how that convenience leads to relaxation.

Another key point is that this ease and great taste are expressed through Takahiro Iwata’s singing with acoustic guitar.

His soft vocals layered over the acoustic guitar’s tone clearly evoke a peaceful morning time.

Keep Your SmileEngland Dan & John Ford Coley

Keep Your Smile

This commercial shows Paul Newman enjoying a cup of coffee while talking about people who truly suit coffee.

It portrays the idea that becoming someone for whom coffee feels natural is a mark of a first-rate actor, creating a dandy, sophisticated atmosphere.

At the same time, the scenes of him switching out different mustaches as he approaches his coffee add a touch of humor.

The song that further emphasizes the gentle mood of the visuals is “Keep Your Smile” by England Dan and John Ford Coley.

Their two voices blend over a tender, easygoing tempo, beautifully conveying a sense of calm and comfort.

Swordsman’s EntranceJulius Fučík

Swordsman's Entrance

This commercial promotes Cook Do’s Pork Belly and Daikon as a flavor that even kids will love, portrayed through a family’s experience.

The children, initially skeptical of Yutaka Matsushige’s recommendation to try the pork belly and daikon, take a bite—and their faces instantly light up, clearly conveying how delicious it is.

The music that heightens their sense of delight and makes the joy stand out is “Entry of the Gladiators.” The fact that it’s a march is key—the forward-driving power evokes positive emotions.

SUMMER TIMETUBE

TUBE 『SUMMER TIME』

It was used in the “Knorr Cup Soup Made with Cold Milk” commercials.

It’s a bouncy, summery tune.

No matter which part you listen to, scenes of a bright blue sky and a sunlit seaside that makes you want to start running come to mind.

As expected from TUBE, the kings of summer.

MUGO… so sexyKudō Shizuka

Mugo… Sexy (Mugon… Iroppoi) Shizuka Kudo

It was used for ‘Pal Sweet.’ The lyrics are so cute you wouldn’t think they were by Miyuki Nakajima.

Shizuka’s fresh, subtle sensuality is lovely too.

I’ve heard the song was originally an image song for Kanebo.

I think it’s a pleasant track created by a team of hitmakers.

Let’s go to the forest.Tōkyō Hōsō Gasshōdan

Let's go to the forest.

It’s the theme song from Ajinomoto’s gyoza commercial.

Apparently it’s a Polish folk song.

It’s a refreshing song about a young girl and a hunter meeting.

I used to sing it without thinking about the situation, but looking at it again, it’s quite interesting.

It seems like it could be sung lightly in chorus.

“Winter” from “The Four Seasons”Antonio Lucio Vivaldi

Vivaldi “The Four Seasons” – “Winter” | High Quality | FULL

This commercial conveys just how delicious Ajinomoto’s gyoza are through a family mealtime scene.

The way even adults lunge for the very last dumpling shows that the taste is irresistible.

When Ren Nagase is called childish and then offers to cook the next batch, it also gives a sense of the family’s warmth.

In these scenes, the music used during the dash for the last piece is “Winter” from Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons.

Its strikingly tense tones heighten the sense of urgency and even evoke the question of whether they can withstand winter’s chill.
