In the Galaxy Z Fold5 commercial titled “Carry the Big Screen,” it highlights how you can powerfully handle both play and work—continuing a game you were playing on the TV on the Galaxy Z Fold5, or picking up work you were doing on a computer on the Galaxy Z Fold5.

In the ad, there’s a visual gag that matches the lyrics of the background song “Please Don’t Go,” making it look like the TV and computer are pleading, “Don’t go!” Also, the version used in the commercial is a cover, and its vibe is quite different from the original track by KC & The Sunshine Band.

#Youth Time Trip | Vaundy × DOCOMO Youth Support Movie

Among NTT Docomo’s commercials, the Youth Support Movie series is especially popular.

In the version released in the summer of 2023, each person answers the question, “What did you leave undone in your high school life during the COVID-19 pandemic?” by naming something they wanted to do but couldn’t—and then they go and do it.

The smiles of the young people featured are dazzling, and every scene in the ad radiates pure youth.

It’s a commercial that warms your heart just by watching it.

The BGM features singer-songwriter Vaundy’s “mabataki.” The lyrics, which calmly speak of a world full of compassion, are striking and deeply moving.

In addition to the familiar trio of the Santaro characters, Masaki Suda and Fuku Suzuki appear in the commercial “Global First Love.” This CM features the American folk song “Varsovienne by Three.” The first part of the title, “Varsovienne,” is a dance that originated in Poland and later spread to the United States, where it became widely known.

The latter part, “by Three,” indicates that the partner changes three times during the dance.

Its graceful melody is perfect for dancing!

In the commercial “Oni-chan no Oyagokoro” featuring the Santaro trio along with Masaki Suda and Fuku Suzuki, the Israeli folk song Kol Dodi is used.

This song sets to music verse 8 of chapter 2 from the Song of Songs in the Hebrew Bible, which speaks of hearing the voice of one’s beloved and their coming.

Its poignant melody evokes the nation and culture of Israel, making listeners feel as if they’ve stepped into the country just by hearing it.

In the commercial, the original song is used with a slightly pop-style arrangement.

This song is a dance tune for couples.

Its buoyant, cheerful melody evokes a sweet, tingly feeling, as if you’re spending a fun moment with a lover.

Just like the CM’s storyline, it’s a perfect track to hype up a lovey-dovey couple.

Instead of J-pop and the like, it might be nice to go on a date with a song like this as your BGM from time to time!
