Kanpo Life’s commercial songs: familiar classic tunes (1–10)
If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands
Everyone remembers singing “If You’re Happy and You Know It” from a young age.
In Japan, it became a big hit in 1964 when Kyu Sakamoto sang it as a pop song, but the original is said to be the American folk song “If You’re Happy and You Know It.” Just like in Japanese, the English version has you move your hands and feet and make sounds, so it’s perfect to sing to little kids who are just starting to understand words.
It’s also often used in English lessons—a happy song loved by people of all ages.
Radio Calisthenics SongHaramichan
Harami-chan, a pianist drawing attention for her exceptional technique.
She’s appearing in and sparking buzz with Kampo Life Insurance’s commercial, “Let’s Move More with Radio Calisthenics.” In it, many people get moving to the Radio Calisthenics music performed by Harami-chan.
The highlight is how she arranges the universally known Radio Calisthenics tune into her own signature sound.
The poppy arrangement is irresistibly catchy.
It’s also great that we get to see her performance up close.
Future Projection IIDREAMS COME TRUE
DREAMS COME TRUE is a band known for its solid musicianship and funk-based sound.
Their signature song “Mirai Yosouzu II — VERSION ’07 —” was used in the commercial series ‘Life Is Full of Dreams,’ in the “Dream Flight” episode.
While its straightforward, piercing lyrics are memorable, the technical skill of the backing band and the beauty of the melody line are also key parts of their appeal.
Beloved by many, this song is filled with a gentle warmth that offers hints for living—not only to those troubled by love, but to anyone navigating life.
Kanpo Life’s commercial songs: familiar masterpieces (11–20)
Funiculi FuniculaInohara Yoshihiko
Funiculi Funicula is the kind of children’s song that makes you want to hum along the moment it starts playing.
Its mysterious, almost spell-like lyrics and lively melody are captivating.
First released in 1880, it’s an Italian popular song originally written in Italian as a promotional tune for the Funicolare (a mountain cable railway).
No wonder it’s often called the first commercial jingle—the impact when you hear it is strong.
The humorous lyrics are delightful too, so give it a listen and try catching the words!
Into the DreamInoue Yosui
A universally known classic of folk music.
Released in 1973, it was covered by Yuki Saito in 1989, bringing it back into the spotlight.
From the very first lines, the lyrics address each listener directly; though it’s a breezy pop tune, it carries a depth that reflects Yosui’s unique intelligence, drawing you into a dreamlike world.
His bright, cheerful high tones ring out over a stylish, polished guitar riff, leaving you with a refreshing feeling that makes your worries seem almost silly—an uplifting track, through and through.
like youDREAMS COME TRUE
A song written in 2016 as the campaign song for Japan Post Insurance.
Miwa Yoshida’s simple lyrics, addressed to “you”—someone rugged and quiet, yet steadily persistent—really sink into the heart.
They’re filled with gratitude and respect for those who always support us, and it’s easy to see why many DREAMS COME TRUE fans regard it as a “hidden gem.” It’s a warm, encouraging song that gently gives a push to anyone striving toward their dreams.
Original songMatsuji Baku
The commercial featuring Mitsuki Takahata, “Life Is Full of Dreams: ‘What If at That Time’,” uses an original song composed specifically for the ad.
The composer is Taku Matsushima, a musician and composer known for numerous commercial jingles and for composing and arranging music for the hit anime “Yuri!!! on ICE.” The gentle melody, woven by piano and strings over a triple meter, leaves a strong impression, like the soundtrack to a film tracing a person’s life.
In scenes where the story in the commercial takes a sudden turn, the piece unfolds intensely with intricate string lines, then returns to a gentle melody that leads toward a happy ending.
