Coca-Cola commercials: A roundup of famous ads whose cast and featured songs are making waves

Coca-Cola, a major beverage manufacturer, differentiates itself from other companies’ vending machines with proprietary apps like Coke On, which let you make payments with your smartphone and collect stamps.

In addition to soft drinks like Coke and Aquarius, its tea and coffee brands such as Ayataka and Georgia are also hugely famous.

One reason Coca-Cola enjoys such high name recognition compared to other soft drink makers is the high frequency of its TV commercials.

Coca-Cola’s commercials often feature popular actors and spotlighted artists handling the music, which frequently becomes a topic of conversation.

In this article, we’ll showcase those buzzworthy commercials all at once, so if there’s a CM you saw on TV that caught your attention, be sure to check it out.

Known for massive hits like “EZ DO DANCE” and “CRAZY GONNA CRAZY,” TRF—a five-member co-ed dance and vocal group emblematic of the TK sound that dominated the J-pop scene in the 1990s—released this as their seventh single.

There’s an anecdote that the song was rushed into production after an offer from Coca-Cola.

Its distinctive arrangement, which fuses dance music with elements of world/folk music, really sticks in your ears.

With its catchy melody and striking chord progression, it’s the very definition of the TK sound.

A quintessential TRF track with a feel-good beat that makes you want to get up and dance.

This is the fifth single by singer-songwriter Eito, who became widely known thanks to the massive 2019 hit Perfume.

Since the original was also used in a Coca-Cola ad, many listeners may already find it familiar.

Eito’s gentle vocals, quite different from AI’s powerful delivery, show just how dramatically the same song can change in feel.

It’s a positive track that reaffirms both the song’s inherent strength and Eito’s originality.
