High-Pressure GirlYamashita Tatsuro
In the ANA Okinawa campaign commercial that aired in 1983, Tatsuro Yamashita’s “Koukiatsu Girl” (High-Pressure Girl) was featured.
Its refreshing melody perfectly matches the impression of Okinawa’s beautiful sea and sky and really leaves a mark! The lyrics are filled with words that evoke the tropical atmosphere of Okinawa, and just one listen makes you want to take a trip there.
It’s a song packed with the desire to set off on a journey, riding a high-pressure system that carries the heat of the shining sun.
By the way, the breathy interjection you hear partway through the song is said to be by Tatsuro Yamashita’s wife, Mariya Takeuchi!
FLY AWAYCrystal Kay
In a commercial ANA made in 1998 under the catchphrase “All For You,” Crystal Kay’s “FLY AWAY” was featured.
The song was included as the B-side to her debut single “Eternal Memories,” which she released at the age of 13.
With a level of expressive richness that belies her age, it powerfully conveys the thrill and excitement of an airplane about to take off.
Originally created as an image song for ANA, it was later officially released due to the strong response.
Listening to the commercial and her vocals really makes you want to get on a plane and travel somewhere!

This is an original song used in the commercial when ANA launched its Narita-to-Chicago route in 2006.
The track really conveys a strong sense of determination and excitement for what’s ahead.
It features a luxurious sound that hints at a bright future.
The commercial also includes a pun playing on “Chicago,” showing five deer (shika) playing basketball, and the whole piece captures ANA’s momentum as it declares, “We’re taking on the entire United States!” Highly recommended.
Dance, fish.Yamashita Tatsuro
It’s a passionate love number that likens a beloved person to a tropical fish swimming in southern seas.
Created by the popular singer-songwriter Tatsuro Yamashita—who has continued to produce countless masterpieces such as “Christmas Eve” and “Sōbō”—the song was released in 1987 as his 16th single.
It was used as the CM song for ANA’s “Sky Holiday Sports Resort Okinawa Campaign.” The dazzling sound and buoyant vocals evoke an island of eternal summer, and you can’t help but feel, “Maybe I’ll travel somewhere warm this summer!”
dreamlandOhnuki Taeko
The soothing melody of “dreamland” is a song by Taeko Onuki released in 1991.
It was used as the image song for ANA’s “ANA’s EUROPE” commercial (Travelers/Hotel version).
The lyrics portray a woman’s feelings after a breakup in a very positive light.
Listening to it—like in the commercial—conjures up images of European streets with a mature atmosphere.
It offers a gentle sense of comfort while also evoking the sophistication of an urban adult, making it a highly recommended track.
