Song of Instant Energyenako

Cosplayer Enako appears in the commercial for Sokko Genki, a jelly drink packed with various nutrients.

Her performance of the CM’s original song, “Sokko Genki no Uta,” leaves a strong impression and makes it a delightful video for fans.

In the commercial, Enako is portrayed bursting with energy, and combined with her bright expressions and the music, it’s a CM that gives you a boost just by watching.

The song “Zero” by the Korean girl group NewJeans, who are hugely popular in Japan, was released in 2023 and featured in the Coca-Cola Zero commercial “Choose the deliciousness of Coke Zero,” which also stars the members of NewJeans.

Part of the lyrics resembles the product name, and the commercial emphasizes that part, making it really catchy.

It turns out that phrase is commonly used in Korea when choosing between options.

The music video also features cute yet cool choreography, so be sure to check it out!

In the video game Pikmin, the song lyrics—“join forces, fight, get blown away, but we won’t ask you to love us”—capture the Pikmin’s poignant devotion no matter what happens.

At the time, this was widely discussed because it overlapped with the image of office workers belonging to a company.

CHE.R.RYYUI

YUI 『CHE.R.RY-short ver.-』
CHE.R.RYYUI

This is youth at its finest! A sweet and bittersweet love song from a girl’s perspective.

YUI’s girlish voice, the heart-fluttering lyrics, and the melody—every element is packed with the power to capture the hearts of anyone in love.

It portrays the feelings of a girl who entrusts her thoughts for someone of the opposite sex to messages on her cell phone.

Robinsonsupittsu

Rather than having strong messages, Spitz’s songs convey an ordinary, everyday atmosphere, which makes the melodies and lyrics feel easy to take in.

“Robinson” is one of those.

As for the title, it seems that Masamune Kusano, the vocalist and lyricist, often came across the word “Robinson” at the time—like the film “Robinson’s Garden” or Robinsons department stores he saw while traveling—so it stuck with him.

Atom Marchsakushi tanikawa shuntarō, sakkyoku takai tatsuo

It’s the theme song of the anime Astro Boy.

In recent years, it has also been used in commercials for Suntory Oolong Tea and UNIQLO.

It’s said that many of today’s Japanese robotics scholars were inspired to become robot engineers because of it.

Precisely because the subject is heavy, they likely made the theme song light and rhythmic so that even children could easily get into it.

Back then, Gen Hoshino mostly had calm, conversational-sounding songs, but this one is an upbeat, rhythm-driven track.

It was used in Shiseido’s ANESSA campaign in 2012.

In December of the same year, he suffered a subarachnoid hemorrhage, and although he endured a difficult battle with recurrences afterward, he made a full comeback in February 2014.

I hear his Budokan concert was completely sold out.
