Soba ni Iru ne, Aoyama Thelma’s signature song released in 2008, was created as an answer song to SoulJa’s track Koko ni Iru yo and became a massive hit thanks to its relatable lyrics.

Many people may also remember that the song was featured in a NTT Docomo commercial at the time.

The CM portrayed the feelings of a female student about to enter high school, and those who were going through the same transition likely resonated strongly with it.

Fourteen years later, in 2022, Aoyama Thelma was once again featured in a Docomo commercial celebrating the company’s 30th anniversary, which also drew attention.

#Youth Time Trip | Vaundy × DOCOMO Youth Support Movie

Among NTT Docomo’s commercials, the Youth Support Movie series is especially popular.

In the version released in the summer of 2023, each person answers the question, “What did you leave undone in your high school life during the COVID-19 pandemic?” by naming something they wanted to do but couldn’t—and then they go and do it.

The smiles of the young people featured are dazzling, and every scene in the ad radiates pure youth.

It’s a commercial that warms your heart just by watching it.

The BGM features singer-songwriter Vaundy’s “mabataki.” The lyrics, which calmly speak of a world full of compassion, are striking and deeply moving.

In it, various products are introduced one after another, accompanied by YOASOBI’s “Sangenshoku.” The exhilarating sound and rhyming lyrics are addictive.

The lyrics also have a wonderful narrative quality, starting from a long-awaited reunion and depicting the time until they part ways again.

It really sparks the imagination about the protagonists’ past and what happens to them afterward.

This commercial has a comedic vibe, with a tiny Satomi Ishihara whispering the iPhone 15 Pro’s charms to people who are on the fence about buying it.

The way she hides so she won’t be noticed while quietly sharing its appeal is adorable, and it seems likely to boost viewers’ desire to purchase.

Another point worth noting is that it highlights a plan offered by docomo that lets you get the most out of the iPhone 15 Pro’s features.

Katy Perry’s “Firework” is used as the CM song, and its refreshing sound seems to enhance the excitement around the new product.
