Kao Bioré u Smile Time Fresh Citrus Version Commercial
Original songYamaguchi Tomomitsu

The song used in the Biore u Smile Time Fresh Citrus commercial is an original Biore song performed by comedian and actor Tomomitsu Yamaguchi.

While Biore might strongly evoke the image of the “Biore Mom,” having Yamaguchi sing gives a solid and reassuring impression of a “Biore Dad” as well.

Above all, his rugged vocals create a warm commercial where the whole family—dads and moms included—washes their bodies with Biore’s foam.

This is a commercial for Biore u hand soap featuring baseball player Lars Nootbaar—well known for his performance with Japan in the 2023 WBC—appearing together with his parent.

It clearly shows various people washing their hands, and the smiles on their faces convey the joy of getting their hands clean.

Further highlighting the relaxed, cheerful atmosphere of the footage is the music by Shuta Negi.

The melody, layered with whistle-like tones, supported by gentle acoustic sounds, warmly captures the feeling the ad aims to express.

This commercial introduces Biore Perfect Oil, with the key point being that you can use it in the bath, presented through a distinctive song.

Because we emphasize makeup in every aspect of daily life, it tends to be hard to remove—but the ad conveys that with Perfect Oil, it comes off easily.

While boasting high effectiveness, it’s also gentle on the skin, a quality underscored by Yoeko Kurahashi’s vocals.

The way her singing alone rings out is striking, and the simple composition makes it feel like a hummed tune in the bathroom.

This commercial conveys the appeal of Men’s Biore THE FACE through the interaction between Masaki Suda and Kai Inowaki and the way they pause to think.

When Inowaki asks to borrow a face wash, Suda finds himself not wanting to lend Men’s Biore THE FACE.

In the end, the fact that he tells a lie also communicates his deep affection.

The song playing in the background of this everyday, casual exchange is “Ievan Polkka,” a traditional Finnish polka.

The polka’s light, buoyant rhythm heightens the fun and, layered with the visuals, also seems to express a sense of relaxation.
