Whose Song Is It? The Catchy NTT Docomo Commercial Track. A Look Back at the CM Songs Through the Years [2026] (71–80)

It’s said that it will be used not only in the NTT Docomo commercial but also as the theme song for the animated film “Monster Strike THE MOVIE: To the Place of Beginnings.” Since the chorus is so memorable, I think many people have heard it.

The sparkling melody line matches the lyrics very well.

d Hits

Resurrection Lovearashi

It was selected as the song for NTT Docomo’s “d Hits” commercial and was released for streaming before its official release.

Issued in 2016 as Arashi’s 48th single, the track drew attention for being written by Mariya Takeuchi and composed by Tatsuro Yamashita.

It also marked the first time an Arashi song was distributed via a music streaming service.

Gen Hoshino’s “Friend Ship,” which played in the 2021 Long Gakuwari commercials like the “Kanna, Minami, and Hoshino-sensei” version and the “Hoshino-sensei with Extra Cherry Blossoms” version, is included on his fourth album, YELLOW DANCER.

To me, it seems to portray the bonds of the human heart—how things can become harder to understand the closer you get, while even at a distance, two people can still connect.

The way it blurs the boundary between friendship and love is also wonderful.

Above all, it’s soothing.

It feels like a hopeful parting song, where the time spent together and the separate paths each person walks are both acknowledged as they move forward.

In Docomo’s 25th anniversary movie, Issey Takahashi, who was 17 at the time, plays the father, and Hana Kuroki plays the mother.

The ups and downs from their first meeting to their marriage, as well as the story up to the point when their child—played by Kaya Kiyohara—turns 17, are depicted through songs by Mr.Children!

Ayano-sandros, born from Shinichi Tsutsumi’s slip of the tongue… But in reality, a song by [ALEXANDROS] was chosen for a Docomo commercial.

In the ad, which also features the band members themselves, the vocalist is—believe it or not—Go Ayano until Tsutsumi realizes his mistake! Maybe because he’s active in a band as well, the live performance scenes felt completely natural.

“iPhone/iPad” Mother’s Yukata

It’s a song whose warm commercial atmosphere and back number’s gentle performance and lyrics really touch the heart.

The parent–child relationship depicted in the lyrics, and the moving scene in the commercial where a single yukata is passed down from mother to child, and then to the next child, are truly touching.

The music video was created by Takahiro Miki, known for the film “Hot Road,” and Kei Haruna, known for the film “Strobe Edge,” making it a work you can enjoy both as music and as visual storytelling.

Here’s the commercial where a new couple—Go Ayano and Haruna Kondo—comes together, set to Namie Amuro’s “CAN YOU CELEBRATE?”, a song said to be a wedding classic.

Their father is played, ever so politely, by Takuzo Kadono.

In their meet-cute scene, you can even lip-read them saying “No, it’s not,” too.

It’s a heartwarming ad that suggests you never know where connections might be found.
