Whose Song Is It? The Catchy Docomo Commercial Track. Historical CM Songs [2026] (41–50)
SapiensHoshino Gen
“Sapiens,” featured in DOCOMO’s student discount commercial “Seishun no Domannaka Start,” which depicts the beginning of a new kind of youth for adults, was included on singer-songwriter Gen Hoshino’s 2018 album POP VIRUS.
Centered on a surging bassline and heavy drumming, it’s an electrifying, fast-paced piece of electronica.
Its one-of-a-kind worldview captures the inner motion of stepping into a new world while carrying a tangle of emotions.
The song carries a message that confronts the question: What kind of creature is a human being? Take a listen to the soundscape as it unfolds with one colorful tone after another.

Where dreams are foundNaoto Intiraymi
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.
Friend ShipHoshino Gen
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.
MatasaburōYorushika
As you can infer from the title, this is a rock number inspired by Kenji Miyazawa’s novel “Matasaburo of the Wind.” It’s a track by Yorushika, the band formed by composer n-buna and vocalist suis, released digitally in 2021.
The blend of a driving pace with a nostalgic atmosphere feels quintessentially them.
The music hits like an emotional wave hurtling straight toward you.
It’s a passionate piece that stirs you up with the message embedded in the lyric, “Blow everything away.”
tear(s)Wata Kazuhisa/Fuumi-dou
Marked by a poignant piano melody, this work is a hopeful song woven from heartwarming messages and soothing music.
Centered on themes of life’s beauty and the strength to overcome hardships, it powerfully conveys the importance of staying positive.
Chosen as the CM song for NTT Docomo’s “Sorezore no Tabidachi” (Each One’s Departure), it resonated deeply with many people, especially in the context of graduation.
Kazuhisa Wata’s warm vocals echo in listeners’ hearts.
It’s a perfect track for those about to take a new step or standing at a crossroads in life.
Wrapped in a gentle kindness that stays close to the heart, it’s a song that gives you courage.
Letterback number
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.
To You Who Aren’t HereHoshino Gen
This song, which was used as an insert track in the film “Doraemon the Movie: Nobita’s Treasure Island,” was also featured in December 2020 in NTT Docomo’s “From the teacher to everyone” commercial, in which Gen Hoshino himself appeared.
It’s a slow ballad in which Hoshino’s gentle, conversational singing really sinks in.
You can feel a warmth that seems to gently stay close as you think of someone important who’s far away.
It feels both expansive and universal, yet intimate—as if addressing the person right in front of you.
It’s a song that makes you realize how wonderful it is to have something that can give shape to your feelings.
