Kiss & CryUtada Hikaru

Hikaru Utada – Kiss & Cry

As part of the FREEDOM-PROJECT, this is one of the commercials that aired between 2006 and 2008.

The animation, created with Katsuhiro Otomo—known as the author of Akira—was used, and many viewers likely paid close attention to its animation style and story.

Even now, watching it is exciting—it’s a captivating commercial.

The BGM features Hikaru Utada’s 2007 release “Kiss & Cry,” a love song with strikingly unique lyrics that even include the words “Nissin Cup Noodles!”

RIDE ON TIMEYamashita Tatsuro

RIDE ON TIME – Tatsuro Yamashita

This is a tie-in song for Maxell’s cassette tape commercials that dominated the music scene of the 1980s, and a work that marked a turning point in Tatsuro Yamashita’s career.

Drawing attention alongside the TV commercials filmed on location in Saipan, it reached as high as No.

3 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.

Based on a blend of pop and rock, the track weaves in elements of funk and soul, with a pleasantly resonant brass section adding vibrant color.

The presence of the alto saxophonist’s solo is overwhelming, and the melodious phrases in the bridge seize the listener’s heart and won’t let go.

It’s the perfect song for boosting an open, liberated mood—ideal for driving scenes or summer parties.

Theme from New York, New YorkFrank Sinatra

Theme From New York, New York (2008 Remastered)

The song you often hear in Kirin Ichiban Shibori commercials was created as the theme for the 1977 film “New York, New York.” It was originally sung by Liza Minnelli, but the version covered by Frank Sinatra later became the most well-known.

It’s said to have been used in the Ichiban Shibori commercials since 2012.

For some reason, that relaxed brass sound perfectly fits the vibe of a beer commercial, doesn’t it?
