Star Smash is a smartphone game where you battle alongside a variety of Disney characters who appear as cards.

The song used in the game’s TV commercial is “Stardom” by Mrs.

GREEN APPLE.

Its powerful, fast-paced melody gives a refreshing thrill, much like the battles in the game.

From the lyrics, you can feel the image of someone sprinting desperately toward their ideal world—colliding with life’s absurdities and frustrations along the way, yet never stopping.

With such a song and the many Disney characters featured in the commercial, it’s no wonder so many people find their ears and eyes glued to it.

Tokyo DisneySea: “Hot water!? Pass through the noren into a ‘Sea of Relaxation’!” (commercial)

Someday My Prince Will Come

In Tokyo DisneySea’s commercial, surprising footage shows the sea turning into a hot spring and the Venetian Gondolas becoming footbaths.

In fact, this commercial was produced for April Fools’ Day—DisneySea won’t really become a hot spring! The fun April Fools’ ad features the Disney film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs song “Someday My Prince Will Come,” rearranged with traditional Japanese instruments to match a hot-spring vibe.

The music in the commercial is carefully arranged to fit the visuals, so viewers could easily be fooled! It’s a lovely song about waiting for a prince, and even with a Japanese-style twist, its charm shines through.

The melody playing in the Disney+ commercial featuring Hiroki Hasegawa is an original piece created for the ad.

With its horn-driven, delightfully Disney-like feel, it’s the kind of tune that makes you stop and listen along with the visuals! Although it plays in the background while various titles available on Disney+ are introduced, the track holds its own with an impact that matches the distinctive works on screen.

It wouldn’t feel out of place at a Disney resort or in a Disney comedy, either! Even as a commercial song, it’s a melody that makes you imagine which kind of Disney story it would fit best.

A cute commercial featuring Duffy, the hugely popular Tokyo DisneySea character, and all his friends.

“Heartwarming Days” was held to coincide with the season of giving gifts to loved ones, such as Valentine’s Day and White Day, when they appear.

The melody heard in the commercial is an original song created for it, woven with a warm sound that evokes the atmosphere of Cape Cod, where Duffy and his friends live.

It’s a heartwarming tune that perfectly matches the soothing scenes of Duffy and his friends working hard to make their presents.
