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.

Coca-Cola commercials: A roundup of famous ads making headlines for their cast and featured songs (31–40)

Coca-Cola “A New Era” version

Coca-Cola ZERO SUGAR Commercial “New Era” 30 Seconds

A five-member rock band from Osaka whose name means “new brilliance,” Novelbright released this as their third digital-only single.

The track was used in Coca-Cola’s “New Era” commercial and also served as Novelbright’s major-label debut, so many of you have probably heard it.

With its signature piercing high-tone vocals and a driving rock sound, it delivers a refreshing energy that perfectly fits a Coca-Cola ad.

It’s a song packed with Novelbright’s appeal—truly a calling card for the band.

Yuka Kawamura, who sang this song, is a singer-songwriter from Osaka who drew the attention of music fans in 1998 with “Yozora no Mukou,” a song she provided to SMAP.

While she has written many songs for a wide range of artists as a composer, her own singing, with its refreshing voice, also creates a sound that perfectly suits this commercial.

Coca-Cola: ‘TV Time is Coke’ Version

Haruka Ayase transforms into a comic book–style heroine! Masaki Suda and Elaiza Ikeda are rescued with dazzling action! New Coca-Cola TV commercial “Coca-Cola: Time for TV is Coke” and behind-the-scenes footage

Doesn’t this song make you want to drink a Coke? It’s a track by the girls’ vocal group Little Glee Monster, also known as Litoguri.

It was released in 2018 as their 12th single.

The bright, energetic sound, pleasant-to-the-ear choral work, and positive lyrics are memorable.

It’s a message song that will lift your spirits.

Give it a listen when you’re feeling down—it might blow your worries away.

Coca-Cola “Stamp Bottle” Version

Kyary Pamyu Pamyu Saigo & Kō Coca-Cola Commercial

The Coca-Cola commercial “Coca-Cola Stamp Bottle,” featuring Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, began airing on March 28, 2016.

It showcases stamp bottles with labels printed with stamps that convey feelings through various expressions.

The ad presents a candid side of Kyary rarely seen, and communicates the fun of sharing your feelings with Coca-Cola’s stamp bottles.

The music is “Sai & Kou,” Kyary’s 5th-anniversary debut song.

Written and composed by Yasutaka Nakata, it was created to tie in with the commercial, expressing gratitude that can be conveyed precisely because it marks her 5th anniversary, and sharing that feeling with fans.

Ringo Sheena – Long and Short Festival

A Coca-Cola summer campaign commercial song released in 2015.

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.

Coca-Cola 2001 commercial

No Reason Coca Cola: Rooftop in the Spring Sky

In the commercial for the No Reason! campaign that aired in 2001, Keisuke Kuwata appears, shown singing while holding a guitar.

The song used in this CM is his signature hit “Nami Nori Johnny.” Released in 2001, it’s still beloved as a classic summer anthem.

With lyrics about summer romance, it’s sure to set your heart on fire!
