Ajinomoto’s commercial song. A popular jingle.

Color Bottle “Runner” PV_Full

It was used on “Teach Me, AJI Tech: Kama-Tama Noodles.” Color Bottle is apparently aiming for a “living-room rock” sound that appeals to a broad audience.

Hearing that, I feel like I can get on board.

I thought it was a pure, straightforward, and very positive song.

Rhapsody in BlueSaitō Kinen Ōkesutora Ozawa Seiji Ōnishi Junko

Rhapsody in Blue (2013)

It was used in an Ajinomoto General Foods commercial.

Composer Gershwin is said to have worked not only in jazz and classical music but also in musicals, and you can sense that depth.

Part of the piece was reportedly inspired by the sound of a train in motion.

It’s an exhilarating piece of music.

Ai Towa Ai TowaSambomasutā

Sambomaster-Ai Towa Ai Towa

It was used in the commercial for “Ajinomoto R.” Since I only had a rock-like impression, I hadn’t really listened to this group’s lyrics.

There are some slightly provocative expressions, but I also felt a sense of being faithful to one’s feelings and pure at heart.

Pomp and Circumstance No. 1, ChorusFuransu Kokuritsu Kangengakudan Furansu Hōsō Gasshōdan

Elgar: Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1 (Choral Version) [Naxos Classical Curation Special Edition: FIFA World Cup]

It was used in “Cook Do: Majority Rules.” True to the title, it’s a bold, dignified piece, and I can’t forget its sheer scale, power, and grandeur.

That strong sense of confidence makes it great for conveying an image, so it’s also used in many different places.

It’s a song that makes you want to puff out your chest.

Jupiter from The Planets SuiteHorusuto shiki

Jupiter from The Planets Suite

It was used in the corporate commercial “Meals for You Who Work Hard – GLOBAL Edition.” I hear it was structured by assigning one piece to each of seven celestial bodies from the solar system.

It’s a very majestic composition.

In particular, the familiar melody that appears partway through enchants me no matter how many times I hear it.

The Promised PlaceMakihara Noriyuki

Noriyuki Makihara - The Promised Place

This is the commercial song for “Knorr.” It’s a piece Mr.

Makihara provided to CHEMISTRY, and he also took part in the chorus.

They asked for something with the feel of a traditional song, and that’s how this track was created.

Throughout, it consistently conveys the message of not giving up on your dreams.

It’s a song of hope.

Love RadiantMisora Hibari

Ai Sansan Misora Hibari Love Brilliantly Hibari Phoenix

It’s a commercial for Ajinomoto.

The piece is by Kei Ogura, and I hear the theme of the commercial at that time was “family love.” They chose Hibari-san because they wanted a sense of warmth and embrace.

Indeed, Hibari-san is perfectly suited to the long-established Ajinomoto, and her resonant yet earnest, persuasive singing is truly unparalleled.
