KichijojiIkuta Rira

Kichijoji

That hazy, unsettled feeling you get in everyday life—everyone’s felt it, right? This commercial portrays, in a drama-like narrative, how drinking Sokenbicha helps calm those feelings and relax.

Rather than focusing on intense swings of emotion, it zeroes in on the small, everyday discomforts we all encounter, which makes it highly relatable.

The CM song is “Kichijoji” by Lila Ikuta.

Its lyrics depicting everyday scenes, paired with a gentle, laid-back sound, leave a strong impression.

While it’s a commercial that captures subtle shifts of the heart, both the content and the music convey a strong sense of relaxation.
