Mr./Ms. (honorific suffix)FRUITS ZIPPER
This commercial promotes the idea that chilled chocolate is perfect for hot days, giving you a cool sense of happiness.
It shows how the members of FRUITS ZIPPER use chilled chocolate, expressing deliciousness and joy through their smiles.
The song that really highlights the fun and cuteness portrayed in the visuals is FRUITS ZIPPER’s “San.” It starts with crisp guitar cutting, then layers in digital tones, and that light feel conveys a positive mood.
Including the smiles you can hear in the vocals, it’s a track that strongly emphasizes cuteness.
I Want You Back
This commercial introduces two varieties: Ghana Black with 50% cacao and Ghana Roast Milk with caramelized milk.
Ryo Yoshizawa tastes each chocolate and shares his impressions.
The bright, up-tempo song playing in the background might sound familiar to many of you.
It’s a song by The Jackson 5, and the commercial uses a cover version.
The original was released in 1969, has been covered by numerous artists, and has been featured in all kinds of contexts as a classic.
Its funky groove is especially memorable—it makes you want to start dancing when you listen to it!
First feelingschay
Singer-songwriter chay’s “Hajimete no Kimochi” was featured in the commercial for Lotte’s Ghana Milk Chocolate.
Released in 2012, the song is her debut single.
Its lyrics, which portray the feeling of first love, are sweet like chocolate and express emotions that resonate with anyone experiencing love.
When you’re in love, just thinking about the person you like makes you feel you can do anything! It’s a track that lets you feel the surge of power that comes from being in love.
ribbonInoue Sonoko
Meiji’s “THE Chocolate,” which became popular for the trend of remaking its packaging, is a chocolate you can enjoy by comparing different flavors by package.
Inspired by the idea of “comparing,” we commissioned separate new songs from Sonoko Inoue and androp, as a musical counterpart to tasting different flavors.
Sonoko Inoue’s song “Ribbon” portrays a bittersweet breakup between lovers.
If only she could have wrapped her partner gently, like chocolate, perhaps they wouldn’t have parted…
While regretting the past, she ties a ribbon around their memories and tries to look forward—expressed through Sonoko Inoue’s gentle singing voice.
CAndrop
Meiji’s “THE Chocolate,” with its stylish packaging, lets you enjoy tasting and comparing a variety of flavors.
androp’s “C,” written for a commercial with Sonoko Inoue not for tasting chocolate but for comparing songs, was created especially for the ad.
Painted with an unshowy, simple, and rustic melody, the song portrays someone indulging in sweet daydreams, pairing their unrequited love with chocolate.
Just as the lyrics suggest—wishing the person would write down their feelings on the chocolate they bought together—because confessing directly is embarrassing, it would be nice if they could just write it somewhere and stick it on… That kind of sentiment is something anyone shy and secretly in love can probably relate to.
