Ikimono-gakari, the beloved national pop unit, released the single “Akane-iro no Yakusoku” in 2007.
It was featured in a commercial for au’s “LISMO!” Some people may even have set it as a ringtone on their cell phones back then.
It’s an iconic early autumn masterpiece, and Mizuno has mentioned that he wrote it with a wedding theme.
The arrangement by Masanori Shimada is beautiful, and it’s infused with Ikimono-gakari’s signature simplicity and heartfelt message of love that resonates with crystal clarity.
Capturing the fleeting passage of the seasons and the preciousness of a single moment of affection, the song overlaps with nostalgic autumn scenery and deeply moves the listener.

In this commercial featuring Moka Kamishiraishi, Kinoko Teikoku’s “Kinmokusei no Yoru” plays alongside visuals themed around the start of a new life.
The song evokes the scent of fragrant olive drifting through an autumn night and gives voice to the bittersweet feelings held in one’s heart.
Her step into a new place vividly captures a mix of anticipation and anxiety.
While looking back on past memories, the lyrics portray the inner struggle of taking a step toward the future, and viewers will relate to her as she deepens connections with unfamiliar people in a new town.
Maplesupittsu
Some of you might feel like listening to it when autumn comes.
It’s a classic by Spitz, a rock band beloved nationwide.
It was released in 1998 as their 19th single.
It drew attention again in 2017 when singer Moka Kamishiraishi covered it for a Kirin Beverage “Gogo-no-Kocha” commercial.
The blend of poignancy and freshness really tugs at the heart.
I recommend giving it a careful listen during a cool, breezy time of day, with a cup of coffee or tea in hand.

This is a song written by Masayoshi Yamazaki, a singer-songwriter who also works as an actor, for Kintetsu (Kinki Nippon Railway)’s commercial “The Ise-Shima You’ll Want to Talk About.” He himself appeared in the ad.
Inspired by a pilgrimage to Ise Jingu, the guitar and percussion rhythms pleasantly evoke the sound of trains like the limited express Shimakaze rolling along the tracks.
