Original songNagano Akira (APOGEE)

It’s a passionate ad packed with a wonderful message!

commemorative photoBUMP OF CHICKEN
This is the 2017 “HUNGRY DAYS” series collaboration commercial with Kiki’s Delivery Service.
It remakes the Ghibli classic in the style of a coming-of-age anime, depicting the romance between Kiki and Tombo as high school students.
Even though the setting differs from the original, the anime draws you into its world seamlessly, giving it a uniquely captivating charm.
The background music features BUMP OF CHICKEN’s “Kinen Satsuei” (“Commemorative Photo”), a memorable track with refreshing sound and lyrics that seem to portray the hearts of young people in their youth.
Hungry PrideMakishimamu Za Horumon
This is one of the “HUNGRY DAYS” series commercials, known for its youth-anime style, created in collaboration with ONE PIECE.
It depicts ONE PIECE characters taking part in a cavalry battle at a school sports festival, delivering a sense of immediacy and making for a highly engaging piece.
With popular characters appearing one after another, it’s a must-watch for fans of the original.
The background music features Maximum the Hormone’s “Hungry Pride,” whose heavy, loud rock sound paired with distinctive lyrics creates a truly one-of-a-kind world.
In this commercial, the characters’ dialogue takes center stage, so the song is hard to hear—be sure to check out the music video or other sources to listen to the track as well.
