[Tearjerker] Moving and Emotional Masterpieces of Commercial Jingles (31–40)
Daydream BelieverTHE TIMERS
This is a song covered by The Timers, led by Kiyoshiro Imawano, originally by The Monkees.
The lyrics are entirely in Japanese.
The words, said to be addressed by Kiyoshiro Imawano to his late mother, are incredibly moving.
It has been used in a Seven-Eleven commercial.
The original version sung by The Monkees is also wonderful, so I recommend listening to both.
SummerHisaishi Joe
Joe Hisaishi’s “Summer,” which was also used as the theme song for the film Kikujiro, was featured in commercials for the Toyota Corolla Sedan and Corolla Fielder as well.
Its wistful melody, which brings back memories of childhood summer vacations, lingers in my ears.
When I listen to this piece, it reminds me of my elementary school days and makes me want to cry.
You’re BeautifulJames Blunt
It was used as the commercial song for Toyota’s Vitz.
It’s the track that made James Blunt internationally famous.
His singing voice is so beautiful it brings me to tears on its own, but the music video’s impact is so overwhelming that all that’s left afterward is a sense of emptiness.
Can’t Get It Right TodayJoe Purdy
This is a song by American folk singer-songwriter Joe Purdy.
It was used in a commercial for the compact car Kia Spectra.
The song starts with a light, lively piano, but Joe’s on-the-verge-of-tears vocals and the guitar solo in the interlude are utterly heart-wrenching.
His somewhat sorrowful singing voice is really wonderful.
Just the Way You AreBilly Joel
It’s a song Billy Joel wrote for his wife.
It was released as the first single from the album The Stranger.
It’s a lovely love song.
The melody is so beautiful it almost brings me to tears.
It was used in a Toyota commercial for the Estima.

Hard To Say I’m SorryCHICAGO
Chicago’s signature ballad “Hard To Say I’m Sorry” is a single that spent two consecutive weeks at No.
1 on the U.S.
charts.
Its heartrending melody paired with lyrics depicting a relationship out of sync is guaranteed to bring tears.
The song was used in a Toyota commercial for the Mark II Qualis.
The Great EscapePatrick Watson
This is a song by Canadian singer-songwriter Patrick Watson.
It was used in Tropicana’s commercial for “Arctic Sun.” The monochrome, pencil-drawn style of the animation is very striking, and combined with the music, it’s a song that, for some reason, makes me feel like I’m about to cry.
