This is a Lawson app campaign commercial featuring Yu Murai and Hikaru Morita.

The ad announces a campaign where collecting stamps in the app gives you a chance to win prizes like tickets to Sakurazaka46 concerts.

Playing in the background is “Unhappy Birthday Syntax,” which they will release in October 2025.

The lyrics, centered on one’s own birthday, are striking for their self-questioning tone—wondering whether it was good to be born at all.

Even within that self-deprecating theme, however, the song weaves in forward-looking words that glimpse hope for the future, and many listeners are likely to resonate strongly with it.

Fukoku Mutual Life “This Is Me” version

Letter ~Dear Fifteen-Year-Old Me~Ikeda Eraiza

Angela Aki “Letter ~Dear You, Fifteen~” Official Music Video (HD)
Letter ~Dear Fifteen-Year-Old Me~Ikeda Eraiza

This commercial for Fukoku Life starts with Elaiza Ikeda standing on the street, singing with a guitar.

The narration is striking: it voices the conflicting yet coexisting feelings of “I like being alone, but I hate loneliness,” and declares, “That’s who I am.” Seeing someone accept the complexity and contradictions within themselves may give some viewers courage.

In the CM, the song Ikeda is performing is Angela Aki’s signature piece, “Tegami ~Haikei Juugo no Kimi e~” (“Letter: To You, Fifteen”).

Released in 2008, the song tells a story in which the 15-year-old self and the grown-up self exchange letters, expressing what the adult wants to say to the 15-year-old and what the 15-year-old wants to say to the adult.

LOVECHROME “Hair becomes beautiful. And just like that, we become happy.” Version

amberAramaki Yujin

It features a scene where Airu Kubozuka gently watches over a woman happily styling her hair with LUV CHROME.

It conveys, with a soft touch, the uplifting feeling that comes from using LUV CHROME—the kind that makes you unconsciously hum a little higher.

The song that accentuates the calm atmosphere of the video and the joy within it is Yujin Aramaki’s “amber.” With its relaxed rhythm and refreshing sound, the track evokes the simple happiness found in everyday life.

SKY Perfect JSAT 'Space Choir' Edition

MessiahGeorg Friedrich Händel

Handel: Hallelujah Chorus from the oratorio Messiah
MessiahGeorg Friedrich Händel

This commercial, memorable for its uniquely styled illustrations, introduces what kind of company SKY Perfect JSAT is.

The answer presented is that it’s a “space business enterprise,” a company that develops businesses leveraging outer space, starting with communications satellites.

The footage of an illustrated woman dancing to a psytrance-style arrangement of “Messiah” leaves a strong impact.

The background music is Handel’s “Messiah,” also known as the “Hallelujah Chorus,” a piece that most people have probably heard somewhere before.

Monster Strike “A Youth You’ll Want to Remember” (version)

Revival of the Four SeasonsAKASAKI

【AKASAKI】Four Seasons Rebirth / Shiki Kaisei (Lyric Video)
Revival of the Four SeasonsAKASAKI

Starting with the tagline “To the trivial days,” this is a Monster Strike commercial that unfolds with one youth scene after another.

You might not bother taking photos of them, but it’s those unremarkable moments that make up most of our youthful memories, isn’t it? I imagine many people watched this ad and found their thoughts drifting back to their own youth.

The background music features AKASAKI’s “Shiki Kaisei.” Its melody and lyrics carry a touch of nostalgia, gripping you deep in your heart.

I’m sure many listeners were instantly captivated the moment the song began playing right at the start of the commercial.

Kirin Afternoon Tea “Summer Shadow” version

Shadows of SummerMrs. GREEN APPLE

This commercial captures scenes of summer as experienced by various people, including Ren Meguro and Ayami Nakajo.

Beaches, parks, fireworks, the walk home from school—one evocative scene after another unfolds, likely tugging at the heartstrings of many viewers.

Enhancing the warm atmosphere of the ad is its BGM, Natsu no Kage (Summer’s Shadow), a song Mrs.

GREEN APPLE wrote specifically for this commercial.

Packed with summer imagery and feelings, it seems poised to become an essential staple among summer songs.

Kewpie Deep-Roasted Sesame Dressing “Morning and Night” Version

Original songOnetwenty

Here’s a commercial that makes you rediscover the appeal of the classic deeply roasted sesame dressing.

It highlights not only how perfect it is as a salad dressing, but also recommends using it as a dipping sauce for shabu-shabu.

The visuals create a calm, high-quality atmosphere overall, allowing you to imagine the product itself as more refined and sophisticated in flavor.

The BGM uses an original track with a chic, laid-back reggae vibe.

The vocals are by Onetwenty, an artist originally from the United States who is based in Tokyo.
