Republic Anthem (Yodobashi Camera Song)

Yodobashi Camera Song

This commercial’s music is based on the American folk song “Battle Hymn of the Republic.” In Japan, it’s known under titles like “Gonbē-san no Akachan” and “Tomodachi Sanka.” Although it’s a march, the commercial gives it a powerful, beat-driven feel.

Original song

[Ueno Clinic] Tokyo Ueno Clinic Commercial 'UENOMAN Monjayaki' Version [Official]

A slightly uncool guy can’t manage to cook monjayaki properly, worrying his girlfriend.

But then he levels up into a more ‘Ueno’ man and, for some reason, breaks into breakdancing.

Next, he cooks monja with hand movements like the Thousand-Armed Kannon—this is the concept of the commercial.

The location is Tsukishima Monja Street, a tourist spot in Chuo City, Tokyo.

It’s an area lined with teppan-style eateries like monjayaki and okonomiyaki shops.

“Hotel Koyo” Commercial Original SongShimizu Kyoko

Hotel Koyo

I thought it was a local Kansai commercial, but years later I learned it actually aired over a surprisingly wide area nationwide.

This song, which shifts from a gentle singing style to full-on enka phrasing, is one of Kansai people’s favorite tunes.

I heard the hotel closed in 2013 due to aging facilities.

Wait a sec!Little Glee Monster

“Wait a sec!” — Little Glee Monster

Titled “Chili-Toma Zombie,” this piece features zombie characters themed after the ingredients found in Chili Tomato Noodles, such as tomatoes, chili peppers, corn, and the famed mystery meat.

The BGM, with lyrics that convey the product’s irresistible, inexplicable deliciousness, really stands out.

In fact, the song is an arranged version of Little Glee Monster’s “Cho Matte!” The lyrics were changed from the original, and the group actually performs the vocals.

It’s an exceptionally lavish production—surely not only fans, but even those who aren’t, couldn’t help stopping to watch.

Seikai-chan and Kafu-chan’s Errand Capriccio

This is a SoftBank commercial introducing a “god-tier fast-charging” smartphone that charges faster than ever.

The ad features Maika Sasaki from the idol group =LOVE and Hitomi Suzuki from ≠ME.

Just before heading out, Suzuki realizes her phone has no battery, but the spot highlights the charging speed by showing it fully charge while she dances.

The background music is the Vocaloid track “Seikai-chan and Kafu-chan’s Errand Rhapsody,” produced by Minami no Minami, which pairs perfectly with the visuals and concept.

The song has a brisk, bustling tempo and an adorably charming vibe.

Hot LimitT.M.Revolution

[Official] ALSOK TV Commercial “ALSOK Hot Limit IT & Facilities” 30-second ver.

It’s a commercial that conveys trust in ALSOK guards who rush to handle IT and equipment troubles.

It clearly depicts people in need and the guards addressing their problems, and the changes in their expressions effectively communicate swift response and reassurance.

The commercial uses a parody of “HOT LIMIT,” with lyrics tailored to describe the guards’ work.

While preserving the original song’s powerful, fast-paced feel, the lyrics overlaying the guards’ actions give a strong impression of overwhelming reliability.

Noboribetsu Bear Park

Nice commercial: Noboribetsu, Noboribetsu Bear Park, 2011

It’s a very short song at under 20 seconds, but it’s an addictive jingle you can’t forget once you’ve heard it.

Because it’s a commercial for the Noboribetsu Bear Park, it’s a local ad that only airs in Hokkaido, but its impact is so strong that it’s a common Hokkaido in-joke and conversation piece—and it’s no exaggeration to say there isn’t a single local who can’t sing it.
