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.

It’s a Christmas campaign commercial born from a strong wish that Christmas be an irreplaceable time spent with loved ones—family and friends—and that people welcome the season with even a little more brightness and positivity, in true Coca-Cola fashion.

The music is “Happiness,” an original piece written by AI.

It’s a duet with Ukigumo, the former Tokyo Jihen guitarist, where their slightly languid, Auto-Tuned call-and-response intertwines with keyboards and brass that incorporate Brazilian rhythms, weaving an alluring yet beautiful soundscape.

You can’t help but feel the exhilaration and surging energy within the ephemerality radiating from Ringo Sheena.

Be sure to pay attention to the emotional horn section as well.

In 1966, it was even broadcast on NHK’s “Minna no Uta,” and it’s said to have reached a wide audience, not only children but adults as well.
