ROCK（feat.Akon）Filapine
Many people probably thought, “Is this Queen’s ‘We Will Rock You’?” after hearing the intro! That’s because this track, “ROCK (feat.
Akon),” is a song by R&B singer Filapine featuring American R&B singer Akon, and it samples “We Will Rock You.” It’s featured in the Asahi Super Dry commercial titled “My One Year Later.” The fusion of R&B and rock is spot-on and super cool, so definitely give it a listen!

Keeping the original’s funky vibe intact, the remix is even more danceable and urban in feel.
Both versions have their own cool appeal—give them a listen!

After watching this commercial, there are probably quite a few beer lovers who immediately feel like having a drink.
