Voice of the SeaKiritani Kenta
A song by Kenta Kiritani, who is active as an actor and singer and plays Urashima Taro in the commercial.
It aired in 2015, and its straightforward lyrics—seemingly expressing Urashima Taro’s feelings exactly as they are—together with the gentle composition by BEGIN’s Masaru Shimabukuro matched the visuals of the commercial perfectly.
The sound of the sanshin, evoking Okinawan folk music, and Kenta Kiritani’s husky vocals further highlight the poignancy of the lyrics, resulting in a track that conjures up the imagery of the commercial the moment you close your eyes and listen.

With its directness and sense of speed, it’s truly a fitting track for cheering on sports, soccer in particular.
Original song
In the opening, Oni-chan, played by Masaki Suda, appears covered in wounds in the new au Pitatto Plan commercial.
It seems there are other oni besides Oni-chan, and seeing his battered state, Momo-chan, played by Shota Matsuda, promptly stands up with a sword in hand.
You might think it’s an oni-slaying scene, but then a new character appears! We can’t see the face, but it seems to be the “mother of the three princesses.” The song used in the commercial is an original track.
