Meltsupercell feat.Hatsune Miku
This commercial promotes the new Craft Boss series, “World TEA,” conveying that it offers flavors that let you feel the breeze of the world.
In the visuals, Takako Matsu and Hana Sugisaki, Yumi Kawai and Sairi Ito, and Hono Tamura each drink their respective flavors and feel the wind—a simple yet refreshingly atmospheric portrayal.
Enhancing that fresh mood is “Melt” by supercell.
The track’s breezy sound evokes youth and conjures a sense of hope moving toward the future.
A Naked Heartaimyon
Naked Heart, the massive hit song sung by Aimyon.
It’s featured in Suntory BOSS’s commercial “Alien Jones: The Usual Vending Machine.” In it, Koji Yakusho plays a human who is saddened when his beloved vending machine is removed.
It’s interesting how the ad pairs a rather surreal story with a moving ballad.
As for the song itself, it’s a ballad about unrequited love, so I hope you’ll take your time and listen to it.
Its heartrending lyrics will tighten your chest.
Darren from the film ‘City of Light’Michael Laurence Nyman
In this commercial, Tommy Lee Jones appears as a florist who comes and goes from a TV station.
It portrays behind-the-scenes glimpses of Shinobu Sakagami, Tsuyoshi Takei, and Matsuko Deluxe, and also shows staff working inside the station, including Osamu Suzuki.
Through these scenes, it emphasizes that Japanese television is an indispensable part of our lives.
The background music features “Darren,” a piece composed by British musician Michael Nyman for the film Wonderland.

LOVE THEME FROM SUNFLOWERHenry Mancini
This is a Suntory Craft Boss commercial that looks like an alien named Jones, who has come to survey Earth, is reporting on human behavior.
Since it’s a spot for Craft Boss’s “Not-Too-Sweet Italiano,” the story unfolds as if it’s about Earthlings in Italy.
With a wry, ironic tone, it describes how the fantastical terrain of interlacing waterways can make visitors feel like movie characters.
Another highlight is the use of Henry Mancini’s ‘Love Theme from Sunflower,’ famous from film music, as the BGM.
Framing it with a movie theme song set in Italy, and showing people acting like locals to the music, creates a playful, immersive world.
Inspector Pepperpinku redii
In addition to the familiar Tommy Lee Jones and Koji Yakusho, comedian Yasuko also appears in the commercial for Suntory’s bottled coffee, Craft Boss.
The ad features a stakeout-themed story with a humorous twist: the person they thought was the suspect turns out to be Yasuko.
It effectively conveys that Craft Boss is the perfect partner for work.
The background music is Pink Lady’s 1976 hit Pepper Keibu.
There’s something irresistibly romantic about choosing a Showa-era idol song in the Reiwa era.
Original song for the commercialŌno Katsuo
This is a collaboration commercial with the quintessential Showa-era detective drama “Taiyo ni Hoero.” Original cast members such as Raita Ryu, Akira Onodera, Hiroshi Katsuno, and Ryo Kinomoto all appear, and Tommy Lee Jones shows up as a rookie detective at the Nanamagari Police Station.
The Boss, originally played by Yujiro Ishihara, is portrayed here by the impressionist Yutaro.
With its lavish and stylish direction, the commercial drew attention among longtime fans.
For the background music, a medley-style arrangement of the theme song and insert tracks composed by Katsuo Ohno is used.
Life is full of dreams.Shiina Ringo
When I hear BOSS, I think of canned coffee, but this one’s a tea commercial.
Since it’s tea, they use the phrase “Tea-ss” as a kind of pun.
Takako Matsu and Hana Sugisaki appear in it, and Tommy Lee Jones—the alien familiar from BOSS canned coffee—also makes a brief appearance.
At the very end, Ringo Sheena, who sings the CM’s background song “Jinsei wa Yume Darake,” shows up for a moment as well.
