Ajinomoto’s commercial song. A popular jingle.

Funiculi FuniculaFORESTA

With Japanese Translation: Funiculì Funiculà (Neapolitan Music) – With Katakana Reading

It was used as a parody song for “Maxim Triplesso Bottle Coffee.” The original is an Italian song said to have been written for the mountain railway up Mount Vesuvius.

It’s also said to have been sung by the world’s three great tenors.

It’s a lively piece that fills you with energy.

It was used in “Cook Do: Mapo Eggplant.” Apparently it was also used as background music on a variety show.

They say it’s a work from when Mozart was 27.

The light, repeating piano is pleasant and gentle.

If it’s playing while you have breakfast, it feels like you’ll have a good day.

'Beautiful Vienna' with 'Radetzky March' (Johann Strauss) Vienna Philharmonic New Year’s Concert, conducted by Seiji Ozawa (2002)

It was used in “Cook Do: Shrimp Wonton Soup.” Somehow it reminds me of a school sports day march.

It’s a grand piece that feels like it could bring everyone together.

I had the impression that Strauss was the king of the waltz, so this piece seems to be loved in a different way.

Heybrown – Milk (One Mic Session)

This commercial introduces Mio Brodo—a seasoning that lets you easily make exquisite pasta infused with the aroma of fragrant vegetables—through cinematic visuals.

By simply adding the powder and stirring, a rich aroma spreads and the flavor becomes more authentic.

The expressions of people tasting it further convey the quality of the taste.

The song that accentuates the blissful mood of these scenes is “Milk” by Hey Brown.

Its gentle, acoustic guitar-centered sound and layered, tender vocals are striking, delivering a warmth that directly evokes the quiet joy of everyday life.

I’m not in love.10cc

“I’m Not in Love 2012” 10cc

Did you know that a classic song by 10cc is used in an Ajinomoto commercial? Known for its dreamy sound, this track was released in May 1975 and became a global hit, reaching No.

1 on the UK Singles Chart.

Its production employed innovative techniques, including 16 layers of overdubs to create the effect of a 48-voice choir.

The song has also appeared in films such as Bridget Jones’s Diary and Guardians of the Galaxy.

It’s featured in Ajinomoto’s “Knorr Pota” Rich Potage commercial as well, and its beautiful chorus and ethereal atmosphere make it perfect for those who want to unwind.

Cool Struttin’Sonny Clark

Cool Struttin’ (Remastered)

In the 2020 commercial for Koumi Paste featuring Naomi Watanabe, the classic track “Cool Struttin’” by Sonny Clark is played.

Many people will recognize the album cover that features this song.

The design of the album title and artist name even served as the inspiration for the logo of the variety store Village Vanguard.

In that way, this song drew attention beyond just the music itself, and it’s a cool number where the solos—from piano to trumpet and more—are downright electrifying.

It was used in the Knorr Cup Soup commercial.

I thought the colors looked familiar, and it turns out it was influenced by Mr.

Children and Spitz.

It seems to express itself freely and really resonated with young people.

I think it’s a pure and likable song.
