Tuxedo BodyLeo Sayer
This commercial straight-up showcases what Okinawa, reached via ANA, is like, with the sea at its heart.
It focuses solely on people walking along the shore, and the bright, bursting smiles you see there convey the freshness and exhilaration of Okinawa’s ocean.
The song that further emphasizes the passion and breeziness felt from these visuals is Leo Sayer’s “Tuxedo Body.” The blend of its gentle sound and expansive vocals is striking, and the soft tones that create a sense of floating have a calming effect that really puts your mind at ease.
Dance, fish.Yamashita Tatsuro
This commercial conveys the excitement of traveling and spending time in Okinawa through images of Yuriko Ishida enjoying the Okinawan sea.
With sunny skies, crystal-clear water, and her radiant smile layered over it all, it vividly and refreshingly portrays the fun of leisure and sports.
The song that further highlights the gentle exhilaration expressed in these visuals is Tatsuro Yamashita’s “Odoroyo, Fish” (“Let’s Dance, Fish”).
Its light rhythm paired with a soft, memorable melody, and the buoyant layering of sounds, all effectively communicate a sense of joy.
Star Wars Main TitleJohn Williams
ANA, said to have Japan’s No.1 international route network, once collaborated with Star Wars, a franchise with fans all over the world.
The commercial naturally featured the Star Wars Main Title as its song.
Composed by John Williams, the prolific film composer, it’s a theme everyone knows.
The orchestral melody, which grandly evokes the unknown realms of space, amplifies the excitement you feel when traveling.
The opening of the piece even calls to mind the sequence of an airplane’s wheels beginning to roll, lifting off the ground, and taking to the sky.
TOKIOTakehara Pisutoru
In a commercial featuring track and field star Usain Bolt that aired in 2016, the song used was “TOKIO,” a signature hit by Kenji Sawada released in 1980.
However, the vocalist isn’t Kenji Sawada—it’s singer-songwriter Pistol Takehara.
In contrast to Sawada’s voice, which exudes a suave masculine allure, Takehara’s intensely rugged, passionate vocals are his greatest appeal.
When the performing artist changes, the atmosphere of the song can sound quite different, can’t it?
LIFE feat.birdMondo Grosso
The melody is striking—it heightens the excitement of boarding an ANA plane and heading to your next destination! LIFE, a track produced by MONDO GROSSO, Shinichi Osawa’s solo project, featuring singer-songwriter bird, is a familiar song from ANA’s commercials.
Originally chosen as All Nippon Airways’ Okinawa campaign song in 2000, it was selected again 18 years later for the ANA HAWAii campaign.
On that occasion, bird’s vocals were newly re-recorded.
Its heart-stirring, uplifting melody has surely left a strong impression on many people.
Original songUchiyama Hajime
The music that played in the “Tabiwari” Mega Golden Week release commercial is an original piece composed by Hajime Uchiyama, a composer known for numerous TV commercial scores.
You only hear a short excerpt in the ad, but even just a snippet is enough to get you excited! The sound features bright brass and evokes the image of an ANA aircraft taking off.
At the time, people could take up to 10 consecutive days off, and the piece perfectly captures the exhilaration of setting off on a trip.
It’s a bright, uplifting sound that makes you want to hear the full version!

Further amplifying the fun and refreshing atmosphere portrayed in the footage is Chisato Moritaka’s “Kaze ni Fukarete.” With a band sound that has depth and hints of folk influences, it conveys bittersweet emotions carried on its gentle tones.
Precisely because the sound also feels tender, the song communicates a will to move forward with positivity.
