fateTani Yuuki
A must-see commercial for music fans is the Xperia 5 IV × Tani Yuuki special movie.
It portrays the lives of people using smartphones, with an a cappella version of “Unmei” sung by Tani Yuuki playing in the background.
The lyrics, overflowing with a sense of happiness, seem to speak for the feelings of the characters.
Become a flowerflumpool
“Hana ni Nare” is a digital-only single released in 2008 as flumpool’s major-label debut.
It was selected as the campaign song for au KDDI’s “LISMO,” and was also used as the commercial song for the “PAINT IT MUSIC” ad in the same campaign.
It drew attention as the first time au chose a pre–major debut artist’s song for a “LISMO” campaign.
It’s a fast-paced rock tune—definitely give it a listen!
Glitter Killerkyarī pamyu pamyu
The song used for the au Smart Pass “App” commercial is Kyary Pamyu Pamyu’s “Kira Kira Killer.” In addition to Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, the commercial features Kazuko Kurosawa and Miyuki Oshima from the comedy trio Morisanchu.
“Kira Kira Killer” was released as a single from her 2014 album “Pika Pika Fantajin,” which reached No.
1 on the Oricon album chart.
It’s a track that blends an upbeat, happy sound packed with Kyary Pamyu Pamyu’s charm and lyrics themed around luck.
Aquarium from The Carnival of the AnimalsCamille Saint-Saëns
In the au commercial where, in the room behind the Santarō trio, Kagu-chan appears to be making something in a “Crane’s Gratitude”-style scene, the song playing in the background that creates a mysterious atmosphere is “Aquarium,” the seventh movement from The Carnival of the Animals.
It’s a piece by the French composer Camille Saint-Saëns, notable for its memorable melody that evokes a sense of wonder, eeriness, and foreboding.
It perfectly matches Santarō’s feelings as he wonders what Kagu-chan is doing beyond the door in a non-human form.
The way the same melody continues calmly also adds to the enigmatic mood.
Arabesque No. 1Claude Debussy
An AU commercial that combines the removal of data capacity limits with the removal of entry limits to Ryugu-jo.
The beautiful melody that perfectly matches the image of the gorgeous Dragon Palace where Otohime—played by Nanao as Oto-chan—lives is “Arabesque No.
1” from Two Arabesques.
Composed by the French composer Claude Debussy for piano, it consists of two pieces, No.
1 and No.
2.
The flowing melodies across the upper and lower registers of the piano evoke the shimmering, glistening movement of seawater.
It perfectly conveys the mysterious, beautiful world of the Dragon Palace.
Day After Day feat. Mei Takahashi (LAUSBUB)pasokon ongaku kurabu
This track, a standout collaboration between Pasocom Music Club and Mei Takahashi, captures the small glimmers hidden in everyday life.
It vividly expresses the sense of stagnation felt in repetitive days and those moments when tiny things steal your heart.
Featured on the album “FINE LINE,” released in May 2023, it was also used in NTT Docomo’s commercial “Seishun Loop.” The music video was shot using 3.5m and 10m circular rails, visually rendering the looping routine in a striking way.
A recommended song for anyone who wants to feel the subtleties of youth or discover something new in the everyday.

Nocturne No. 2 in E-flat major, Op. 9 No. 2Furederikku Shopan
Chopin’s famous Nocturne plays over the Princess Orihime love chat spun by the three Taro heroes.
The melody is beautifully mellow, but the slightly cheap-sounding audio source gives it a surreal edge!
