GOOD DAYMrs. GREEN APPLE
Released in September 2025, this song is brimming with positivity, boldly declaring everything to be “wonderful” as it rides through life’s ups and downs.
Its lyrics—so fresh they prompted Omori to say his mindset as a songwriter had changed—resonate deeply.
As the finale of the band’s first-ever six-month consecutive release run, it was featured in a commercial for Kirin Beer’s “Kirin Good Ale.” A rock tune like a protective charm, it gives you the energy to face tomorrow.
Always Look on the Bright Side of LifeEric Idle
This commercial promotes the idea that even the sugar-free version of Aonokirin tastes great, using a parent-child drama.
When the daughter, Ayami Nakajo, brings out a zero-sugar beer, her father, Etsushi Toyokawa, initially grumbles.
But once he tries it, he clearly senses the delicious flavor and realizes the thoughtful consideration behind her choice.
The warmth of the family portrayed in the visuals is further emphasized by the BGM, “Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life.” Its gentle rhythm and bright, resounding tones are striking, conveying a sense of happiness as the flavor unfolds.
CopacabanaBarry Manilow
This commercial boosts your desire to give sugar-free Hyoketsu a try by showing Asami Mizukawa and Hayato Isomura speaking passionately about what makes it so great.
The fact that they share their thoughts on a breezy seaside set is another key point, letting you feel the refreshing quality of Hyoketsu.
The song that further emphasizes the crisp, refreshing atmosphere conveyed by the visuals is Barry Manilow’s “Copacabana.” Its dynamic Latin rhythm leaves a strong impression, conveying not only a fun vibe but also a sense of passion.
I want to become the wind.
This commercial introduces the bottle debut of Kirin Beer’s Harekaze, while also conveying the desire to support a refreshing everyday life.
The visuals depict everyday scenes of Mio Imada, Teruyoshi Uchimura, and Ren Meguro, and each of their gentle smiles as they hold up Harekaze leaves a strong impression.
That bright, refreshing atmosphere is further emphasized by the background music, an arrangement of “I Want to Be the Wind.” Because it’s played softly with a whistle-like tone, the refreshing breeze portrayed in the visuals is also carried through the sound.
The Third Man
Speaking of the Yebisu Beer theme song, it’s The Third Man, which is also used as the departure melody at Ebisu Station.
In this commercial, the concept supports both a friend setting off on a new journey and oneself striving in Japan.
Yuki Yamada delivers a fine performance as the self working hard in Japan.
Bitter Sweet SambaHerb Alpert
This piece was released in 1965 by American trumpeter Herb Alpert, and it’s familiar not only as the theme for the Suntory Kinmugi commercials but also for its use as the theme song of the radio program series All Night Nippon.
It’s a bouncy jazz number that sticks in your head after just one listen, and perhaps thanks to its association with beer commercials, simply listening to it puts you in a cheerful mood.
It’s also a great track to play while cooking.
A Naked Heartaimyon
Singer-songwriter Aimyon, whose lyrics—woven with a unique perspective and intuitive phrasing—have garnered strong support among younger generations.
Her major 10th single, “Naked Heart,” used as the CM song for Kirin Tanrei Green Label’s “GREEN JUKEBOX: Koi” commercial, is also known as the theme song for the TV drama “My Housekeeper Nagisa-san.” The CM version, sung with only an acoustic guitar, offers a different lightness compared to the original version that features piano.
The visuals, featuring Alice Hirose and Aimyon herself, are refreshingly airy, perfectly evoking the lightness of beer.
