Catchy Commercial Jingles [July 2025] (411–420)
SeptemberEarth, Wind & Fire
This commercial highlights the excitement that comes from having Hon-Kirin, conveyed through the presence of Alice Hirose and Yosuke Eguchi.
Set during a cruise where they enjoy Hon-Kirin, the two actors’ smiles and the depiction of the breeze effectively communicate a refreshing feeling.
Further enhancing the fresh atmosphere of the visuals is the song “September” by Earth, Wind & Fire.
With its striking blend of light, buoyant instrumentation and vocals, along with a rhythm that makes you want to move, it conveys a sense of positive fun.
Hi! MckeeOkazaki Taiiku
Familiar as a pen brand, Mackie’s theme song “Hi! Mckee” was created by Okazaki Taiiku.
It gives the impression of dance music with a retro vibe, and its relaxed yet powerful beat lifts your spirits.
The lyrics introduce the ways Mackie is used, expressing how it has been loved widely and for a long time.
The commercial featuring this song depicts a proliferation of Mackies, conveying the excitement of writing and the brand’s broad popularity.
O Bureneli
This commercial comically portrays how powerful Car Febreze’s deodorizing effect is through interactions between Daigo, who’s promoting a car, and some children.
He shows off a gold car to the kids, but they point out the smell.
The ad clearly conveys the product’s effectiveness through the changes in his facial expressions—his bewilderment when the odor is mentioned and the shift after using Febreze.
Set against this humorous footage, the song used to highlight the product’s excellent performance is the traditional tune “O Breinerli” (O Vreneli).
Originally a 19th-century Swiss folk song, its expansive melody evokes images of grand, refreshing natural landscapes.
By stripping it down to just the music, the arrangement seems to accentuate that fresh, breezy atmosphere.
Same Ol’The Heavy
Many of you probably remember the commercial series aired from 2014 to 2017 in which Shun Oguri played Momotaro, as it became a major talking point at the time.
With visuals and direction that looked straight out of a Hollywood film, it was so stylish that you might not even have realized it was a Pepsi ad.
The BGM used in the commercial is Same Ol’ by the British rock band The Heavy.
Its powerful, heavy guitar riff leaves a strong impression—just hearing the intro can knock you out.
The “Ol’” in the title is an abbreviation of “Old,” so “Same Old” conveys the idea of repeating the same things.
The lyrics wryly depict unchanging, monotonous days, making it a track that can give you a push when you’re dissatisfied with the status quo or want to take on a challenge.
lightFukuyama Masaharu
This is a commercial announcing the opening date of Nagasaki Stadium that conveys the excitement of a new landmark being completed in the city.
While the construction scenes communicate a sense of strength, showing what the surrounding town is like alongside Masaharu Fukuyama’s narration really heightens the desire to visit.
What further accentuates that thrilling feeling of something new beginning is Masaharu Fukuyama’s song “Hikari” (“Light”).
Its structure—layering vocals over a powerful sound—is striking, and the soaring singing voice evokes an energy moving toward the future.
Sakurazaka 2024Fukuyama Masaharu
This commercial conveys the range of services U-NEXT offers through an exchange between Masaharu Fukuyama and Natsuki Deguchi.
It shows Fukuyama reacting to his own song playing on USEN, while Deguchi is watching footage of him on U-NEXT—highlighting both the breadth of the service and how it enriches everyday life.
What further accentuates their casual interaction and scenes from cheerful daily life is Masaharu Fukuyama’s “Sakurazaka 2024.” As one of Fukuyama’s signature songs, its gentle melody and tender vocals create a warm atmosphere.
It’s a small worldKing Gnu
The commercial depicts Nana Komatsu’s time at home after returning from outside, and it leaves a very stylish impression, doesn’t it? A fixed camera captures a chic interior as she cleans, tends to plants, and relaxes while playing her favorite music…
Watching this commercial, many people may have found themselves longing for such a wonderful lifestyle.
The background music features King Gnu’s “It’s a small world,” a track from their 2019 album “Sympa.” The lyrics, which portray the joy of a world where it’s just you and someone special, are particularly striking.
