Ikimono-gakari’s “Joyful” was released in 2009 as their 15th single, a song that expresses a sense of fun throughout.

Layered over its light, joy-conveying sound, the lyrics also emphasize the resonance of the words, showcasing an irresistible, sing-along kind of delight.

The track was created by request as a commercial song for Ezaki Glico’s Pocky, and the lively mood of the footage it accompanied became a focal point that drew attention.

Because the wording is so light and buoyant, the dancing in the video really stands out, vividly conveying the shared excitement and the thrill of everyone getting hyped together.

While burdened with self-loathing and regret, we can’t help but put on a brave face.

This song by Shikao Suga lays bare that helpless human frailty.

Contrary to its pleasantly jazzy sound, the lyrics—like a spiral of inner monologue—pierce deeply into the listener’s heart.

Released in June 1998 as the B-side to the single “Bokutachi no Hibi,” the track was also featured in a commercial for Ezaki Glico’s Almond Chocolate.

On nights when you’re disheartened by not living up to your ideals, doesn’t listening to this song make you feel as if it’s saying, “And that’s okay,” embracing you just as you are?

This commercial features Yuriko Yoshitaka reintroducing the delicious taste of Ice no Mi to consumers who are skeptical about its flavor.

In the ad, the song “Kimi wa 1000%,” covered by PEDRO—the solo project of former BiSH member Ayuni D—is used.

With parody lyrics, the CM highlights Ice no Mi’s points of craftsmanship and promotes it as a gelato rich in fruit flavor and deliciously intense.

The original track was released in 1986 by 1986 Omega Tribe, a passionate song set in summer that portrays budding romance.

MajesticB’z

This is a commercial depicting a warm conversation between Sara Minami and Rie Miyazawa, a mother and daughter connected through Pocky.

Noticing that her daughter, who has experienced transferring schools, is struggling, the mother uses Pocky as a conversation starter to gently draw out her worries—beautifully expressing the kindness of family.

Just as the mother and daughter’s conversation heats up, Koji Okura, the father, comes home; his unknowing expression further highlights the fun atmosphere.

The song that underscores the warmth expressed in the visuals is B’z’s “Majestic.” Within the group’s signature power, you can also sense a calm air, from which a forward-looking strength comes through.
