L-O-V-E (Arrangement)Bert Kaempfert
This is a commercial from the Kirin Ichiban Shibori series where members of Arashi sample beers brewed in different regions, turning the pride of Japan’s 47 prefectures into delicious flavor.
The music is an arranged version of Bert Kaempfert’s “L-O-V-E,” familiar from the Kirin Ichiban Shibori series.
This lively tune makes the joy of drinking beer even greater!
Ukiki Watching (Ska Arrangement)Arai Shun
If this song sounds familiar to you, you’ve got a sharp ear! The tune used in the commercial for the non-alcoholic beer Zero ICHI is an arranged version of that song from Waratte Iitomo!, “Ukiki WATCHING.” There aren’t any vocals, but it’s a wonderful track that livens up the ad with the same lively midday vibe.

Theme from New York, New YorkFrank Sinatra
The song you often hear in Kirin Ichiban Shibori commercials was created as the theme for the 1977 film “New York, New York.” It was originally sung by Liza Minnelli, but the version covered by Frank Sinatra later became the most well-known.
It’s said to have been used in the Ichiban Shibori commercials since 2012.
For some reason, that relaxed brass sound perfectly fits the vibe of a beer commercial, doesn’t it?
Les Champs-Élysées
After sending a message to commend those who worked hard despite the heat, the crisp “pssh!” of a beer being opened and enjoyed leaves a strong impression.
Watching Hikari Mitsushima drink deliciously with the ocean in the background probably made many people think, “I want one too!” The familiar ‘Les Champs-Élysées’ is used as the BGM.
The original has lyrics, but the commercial features an instrumental version with only brass instruments.
Little Brown Jug
Set to the lively swing jazz style of Glenn Miller, this song celebrates how well Chinese cuisine pairs with beer.
Actress Yuriko Ishida’s bright, cheerful vocals perfectly capture the vibe of a girls’ night gathered around a round table.
Released in 2024 as a commercial song for Kirin Beer, it was used not only in TV commercials but also widely across radio and in-store promotions.
It’s the perfect track for boosting a fun atmosphere at a meal with friends or a cozy family gathering.
Its approachable charm makes you want to hum along before you know it.
Les Champs-Élysées
This commercial portrays a gentle interaction between a father and daughter at their family home, highlighting the delicious taste of beers like Kirin Ichiban Shibori.
The warm smiles exchanged by Shinichi Tsutsumi and Haruka Fukuhara, who play the parent and child, clearly convey how beer helps foster relaxation.
The song “Les Champs-Élysées” further emphasizes the ad’s calm, relaxed atmosphere.
Arranged without vocals and centered on brass instruments, its bright tones communicate a sense of joy and warmth.
