CM songs you’ll want to sing at karaoke! Easy to sing and crowd-pleasing hits (1–10)
A view I’ve never seen beforeNEW!Suda Masaki
Released on June 7, 2017, this band sound—known as the CM song for “au Santaro Soccer Support”—is a driving, high-energy anthem, with a standout piano that adds a refreshing touch.
The lyrics depict another version of oneself spurring the self onward, making it a powerful, uplifting tune that pushes on anyone striving forward.
The overall vocal range sits at a relatively calm D3–A4, which should be comfortable for most male singers.
For the highest note, A4, using falsetto without forcing chest voice should be more than sufficient.
It sounds especially cool with strong dynamics, so try building excitement from the A verse to the B verse and into the chorus.
Revival of the Four SeasonsAKASAKI
It portrays the idea that true youth is packed into those casual moments that don’t even get captured by a camera, evoking a bittersweet sense of looking back on memories.
You almost forget it’s a Monster Strike commercial, as the whole piece is steeped in scenes of school life.
Elevating these nostalgic, youthful visuals is AKASAKI’s song “Shiki Kaisei.” Its light, piano-tinged sound is striking, conveying a warmth that lets you savor the passing seasons.
While the lyrics reflect days when things don’t go well, the song also carries a positive resolve to keep moving forward.
Double Double FIGHT!CANDY TUNE
This is a commercial that comically conveys the idea that Nissin’s Seafood Noodles are best enjoyed in summer.
As CANDY TUNE tries to pop squid-shaped balloons, Saori Yoshida—famous as the strongest woman among primates—appears and proceeds to pop the balloons swiftly and powerfully, unfolding in a whimsically surreal world.
The song that further emphasizes the comedic vibe and fun, summery atmosphere depicted in the video is CANDY TUNE’s “Baibai FIGHT!” Its tongue-twister-like lyrics and pop sound are striking, delivering a clear sense of fun and energy to listeners.
It’s the kind of track that makes you want to test whether you can nail those rapid-fire lines accurately.
Mr./Ms. (honorific suffix)FRUITS ZIPPER
This commercial promotes the idea that chilled chocolate is perfect for hot days, giving you a cool sense of happiness.
It shows how the members of FRUITS ZIPPER use chilled chocolate, expressing deliciousness and joy through their smiles.
The song that really highlights the fun and cuteness portrayed in the visuals is FRUITS ZIPPER’s “San.” It starts with crisp guitar cutting, then layers in digital tones, and that light feel conveys a positive mood.
Including the smiles you can hear in the vocals, it’s a track that strongly emphasizes cuteness.
This is my way of life.PUFFY
This commercial shows two women stopping by McDonald’s after work to enjoy limited-time smoothies and frappés.
The way they sing happily is quite striking, isn’t it? The song playing in the ad is one of PUFFY’s signature tracks, “Kore ga Watashi no Ikiru Michi” (“That’s the Way I Live”).
The vocal range isn’t very demanding, and above all, the gentle melody flowing at a relaxed tempo makes it easy for just about anyone to sing.
It’s a song loved across generations, so it’s also a great pick to liven up karaoke sessions with a wide range of age groups.
All of the YouthFujifaburikku
A newly licensed young man drives his mother and siblings to McDonald’s in this commercial.
Despite his awkward driving, the image of the mother happily enjoying being taken for a drive by her son is memorable.
The CM features “Wakamono no Subete,” a long-standing staple summer song by a rock band, playing in the background.
The sections leading up to the chorus contain many low notes, so it’s especially recommended for men with lower voices.
However, since the melody’s pitch rises and falls, it’s best to listen to it several times carefully before singing!

This commercial uses lively animation to show that UHA’s Gummy Supplements let you easily get nutrients you might be lacking.
A character modeled after Kento-san appears to someone with an irregular diet, depicting how they perk up with the gummy supplements.
The song “Hai Yorokonde” amplifies the fun atmosphere conveyed by the visuals.
Its rhythm, which makes you want to move, is striking, and the original lyrics carry an encouraging message about overcoming hardship.
