The Cook Do commercial song
Liberty BellJohn Philip Sousa
A popular commercial featuring Ryoma Takeuchi and Minami Hamabe, the video released on YouTube’s official channel has nearly 5 million views.
Watching the passionate family devour plate after plate of twice-cooked pork, you might just find yourself thinking, “Maybe I’ll have Chinese for dinner tonight.” Adding color to the lively footage is The Liberty Bell, a march by American composer John Philip Sousa—known as the “March King” for his many marches.
If you were in a school band, it’s a familiar classic, right? Some might also remember it as the opening theme of the British TV show Monty Python’s Flying Circus.
Why not dive into your meal with gusto, accompanied by its boldly triumphant march-like melody?
Sonatina No. 1 in C major, Fourth Movement, from the Six Viennese SonatinasWolfgang Amadeus Mozart
In the Cook Do commercial “Mapo Eggplant,” featuring Tomomitsu Yamaguchi, Hana Sugisaki, and Noriko Nanaki as a family, the music used is Mozart’s “Six Viennese Sonatinas, K.
439b: No.
1 in C Major, IV.
Allegro.” Many people may recognize it as the piece that played during cooking scenes on the popular variety show “Sudden! Golden Legend.” Its lively piano melody is delightful, and listening to it can make cooking feel more fun.
When you make mapo eggplant, try cooking to this tune and enjoy yourself!
majestic and dignifiedEdward Elgar
This commercial portrays Noritake Kinashi and Ayaka Miyoshi as a family, highlighting how Cook Do supports their family time together.
By showing humorous moments—like voting on the menu or waiting with a bowl of rice for the main dish—it conveys the idea of deliciousness that accompanies happiness.
The music further amplifying those positive emotions depicted on screen is “Pomp and Circumstance.” Its expansive, powerful arrangement is striking, and you can sense a bright atmosphere and forward-looking emotions from the sound.
Swordsman’s EntranceJulius Fučík
This commercial promotes Cook Do’s Pork Belly and Daikon as a flavor that even kids will love, portrayed through a family’s experience.
The children, initially skeptical of Yutaka Matsushige’s recommendation to try the pork belly and daikon, take a bite—and their faces instantly light up, clearly conveying how delicious it is.
The music that heightens their sense of delight and makes the joy stand out is “Entry of the Gladiators.” The fact that it’s a march is key—the forward-driving power evokes positive emotions.
Original song
This commercial promotes the hidden potential of oyster sauce, which many people think can only be used in limited situations.
In the distinctive visuals where a bottle of oyster sauce starts dancing, we show that it stands alongside other seasonings.
In scenes where Tatsuya Fujiwara uses it in various dishes, we specifically introduce what it pairs well with, including his reactions when tasting the food.
By using oyster sauce in unexpected ways, it also sparks curiosity about other possible uses.
Original songHayashibe Tomonori
The Kōmi Paste commercial featuring SKE48, titled “SKE100 Eating,” aired primarily in the Tokai region.
The song playing in the background as SKE members enjoy dishes made with Kōmi Paste is an original track created for the commercial.
It was composed by Tomonori Hayashibe, who handles keyboards, programming, and composition for Plus-Tech Squeeze Box, and who has worked on many other commercial songs as well.
With a bright, horn-driven melody, the track further elevates the members’ cheerful vibe.
The inner BGM of your heart when you eat something delicious might be just this kind of sparkling tune!
Cool Struttin’Sonny Clark
Many people who cook might have been curious about the stylish jazz number used in that commercial where Naomi Watanabe peers into the fridge, murmurs “There’s nothing meow,” and then gets saved by Cook Do’s Koumi Paste.
That song is actually the title track from one of the all-time classic albums, Cool Struttin’, released in 1958 by the renowned jazz pianist Sonny Clark.
Composed by Clark himself, it’s a masterpiece whose rolling piano phrases are irresistibly chic and pleasant.
The version used in the commercial highlights the brass section, including saxophones, and it’s great how this sophisticated track oddly yet perfectly matches the homely, everyday feel of the ad’s visuals.
