Like the flow of a riverKiyosaku (MONGOL800 / UKULELE GYPSY)
This commercial introduces Suntory Draft Beer’s campaign for the MY Sun Draft Mug, where you can have your favorite name engraved on a beer mug.
It depicts a lively scene of Kenji Sakaguchi and Kento Yamazaki bringing their MY Sun Draft Mugs to a bar, while Mone Kamishiraishi casually brushes them off.
Enhancing the fun vibe of the CM is the song ‘Kawa no Nagare no Yō ni,’ sung by Kiyosaku from MONGOL800.
While Hibari Misora’s original is known as a grand ballad, this version features a light, breezy arrangement that really conveys a sense of joy.

This commercial questions the standard line used when ordering draft beer at a bar—“For now, a draft”—and promotes the idea that draft beer is something far more special.
In response to Hidetoshi Nishijima’s question to Kento Yamazaki, the order “an incredibly draft” is placed, and Suntory Draft Beer is served along with a bright, cheerful expression.
Throughout, the ad emphasizes the refreshing quality of draft beer, underscored by Kiyosaku’s powerful rendition of ‘Like the Flow of the River.’ The band-style arrangement combined with his strong vocals conveys a positive, forward-moving feeling.

Featuring an impressive pairing of pork belly skewers and Suntory Draft Beer, this is the “Bara-Nama” commercial starring Ayaka Shinya.
Watching Shinya prepare for her evening drink while saying “Pork belly calls for Suntory Draft,” then eating and drinking so deliciously, probably made many viewers want to enjoy an evening drink themselves.
The BGM is a cover of the familiar “Like the Flow of the River” used in Suntory Draft Beer commercials.
This time, it features the classic version sung by Kiyosaku from MONGOL800.

This commercial depicts various hot summer situations when Suntory Draft Beer tastes especially delicious.
The sweat of Kenji Sakaguchi working on ocean cleanup and Kento Yamazaki engaged in intense, heat-filled tasks makes a strong impression.
The scene shift triggered by Mone Kamishiraishi arriving with a delivery emphasizes the crisp, refreshing taste of Suntory Draft Beer.
The song used is Kiyosaku from MONGOL800’s cover of “Like the Flow of the River,” whose powerful, exhilarating sound differs from the original and is particularly appealing.
The strong will to power through the sweltering summer comes through vividly in the vocals.

This commercial features Kento Yamazaki, Takashi Okabe, and Yuka Sugai enjoying beer while watching high school baseball.
Hibari Misora’s 1989 song “Kawa no Nagare no Yō ni” has been reborn into a piece that evokes even more youthful energy through a punk arrangement by MONGOL800’s Kiyosaku.
With its up-tempo beat, it’s the kind of ad that makes you want to cheer on the young baseball players with a beer mug in hand!

In the “Otsukare Nama desu” phrase–familiar Maruefu series of commercials, “Baseball fans, otsukare nama desu,” three teams are featured: the Hanshin Tigers, the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks, and the Hiroshima Toyo Carp.
Each ad offers the words “Otsukare Nama desu” to players, fans, and the people who support baseball games, creating a message that acknowledges and appreciates their efforts and support throughout the season.
The background music also uses the well-known song ‘Genki wo Dashite,’ making it a heartwarming, calming commercial to watch.

This is an Asahi Draft Beer commercial made for Mother’s Day.
The familiar Kohei Matsushita appears, giving his mother a shoulder-massage coupon to express his everyday gratitude.
If your mom enjoys a drink, why not give her Asahi Draft Beer along with the signature line, “Otsukare-nama desu,” to show your appreciation? The background music is “Genki wo Dashite,” another staple from Asahi Draft Beer commercials.
It’s a calm, soothing song that perfectly matches a commercial meant to comfort everyone who’s tired.
