[Canned Coffee / Bottled Coffee] Commercial Songs from Georgia and BOSS (61–70)

SUNTORY BOSS

Boat SongYashiro Aki

Aki Yashiro / Funauta (Boat Song)

Aki Yashiro’s signature song, “Funauta.” Its deeply emotional melody really tugs at the heartstrings of the Japanese.

This richly atmospheric tune was also used in a commercial for Suntory’s BOSS coffee.

In the ad, Tommy Lee Jones’s character, Alien Jones, also savors a canned coffee “quietly and reflectively.” It might be a nice touch to enjoy a slightly lukewarm canned coffee—just like in the lyrics—when you’re drinking outside, on a break, or after work.

Suntory Craft Boss “Alien Jones: Farm” Version

Oh, beautiful oneOhnuki Taeko

Taeko Ohnuki – Beautiful Person (Album Version)
Oh, beautiful oneOhnuki Taeko

This song used in the SUNTORY Craft Boss commercial is actually an old tune called “La Violetera,” which was a hit in Spain in the 1920s, and Taeko Onuki sings it with Japanese lyrics she adapted.

Her charming, high, delicate voice matches the exotic atmosphere perfectly, making it a truly lovely piece.

Since the song has also been used in Charlie Chaplin’s film and in JR East commercials, many of you have probably heard it before.

BOSS Golden Time 'The Drifters' Version

Even if you don’t know the title or the lyrics very well, it’s one of those songs you can hum along to without thinking.

The commercial that leaves you feeling warm and motivated—BOSS Golden Time: “The Drifters” edition—features The Drifters’ song Ii Yu Da na (“What a Nice Bath”).

Although the original broadcast has ended, the show 8-ji da yo! Zen’in Shūgō! has continued to be loved by a wide range of generations through reruns and DVDs, where the song was performed as Dorifu no Vivanon Ondo—an arrangement of Ii Yu Da na used as the ending theme.

It’s a fun tune that gently warms the heart and gives you energy.

Tulip’s single “Saboten no Hana,” released in 1975.

It was a hit at the time, and later, in 1993, it was remade as a solo by Kazuo Zaitsu as the theme song for the drama “Under One Roof,” which became a huge hit starring Yosuke Eguchi, making the song a hit once again.

It’s a song strongly associated with the drama, and one that has come to be loved by a wide range of generations.

Many people may also recognize it as a commercial jingle—a heartwarming, soothing tune.

It’s a timeless classic that will continue to be listened to for years to come.

DyDo Blend Coffee

Starting Line ~ A New BreezeBaba Toshihide

This song by Toshihide Baba is used as the theme for the DyDo Blend Coffee TV commercial.

The simple opening with live piano and vocals is wonderful, isn’t it? It’s an encouraging song that tells you to push through especially when you feel like giving up, and with a sip of coffee, it might just make you want to try again.

Many songs used in commercials carry some kind of message, and if you really listen, they can truly lift your spirits.

It’s a highly recommended track for when you’re feeling down.

UCC BLACK Sugar-Free “Man’s Black” Version

A drop in a great riverKuwata Keisuke

Keisuke Kuwata’s “Taiga no Hitotsubu (A Drop in the Great River),” which serves as the theme song for UCC canned coffee’s BLACK sugar-free commercial—the “Man’s Black” edition in which he also appears—was included as the B-side to Kuwata’s 16th single, “Yoshiko-san,” released in 2016.

It’s a song that squarely captures the male spirit, perfectly matching the commercial’s tagline, “Man’s Black.” It’s a passionate track that carries a resonance only Kuwata can deliver.

GEORGIA Emerald Mountain Blend “Washed Beans” Edition

A Little Less ConversationElvis Presley

Elvis Presley – A Little Less Conversation (long version)
A Little Less ConversationElvis Presley

This song, known in Japan under the title “Stop Talking,” is a track by the legendary, world-renowned musician Elvis Presley.

It originally appeared as an insert song in the 1969 film The Trouble with Girls, in which Presley starred.

The lyrics, reflecting the feelings of a man impatiently urging his girlfriend, are memorable.

Its lively sound is perfect for a commercial themed around “men,” and it’s crafted to lift the mood whether you like it or not.
