It’s the JR SKISKI series, strongly associated with the image of a beautiful girl gliding swiftly over white snow on skis.

JR East ‘Shinkansen YEAR 2017’ – Shinkansen Made by Everyone, Aomori Edition (Project Movie)
DE DE MOUSE shot to prominence after performing at the legendary RAW LIFE party held in Tokyo in 2006.
He’s a multi-player who handles everything from programming and mixing to visuals.
He chops and deconstructs sampled vocal snippets, then reconstructs them into mysterious melodies that sound as if sung by aliens.
When these are intertwined with vividly shimmering synths, a floating sensation, and euphoric, uplifting drums, the result is the one-and-only DE DE MOUSE world—definitely worth checking out.
JR East ‘Shinkansen YEAR 2017’ — Shinkansen Running Through the Four Seasons (version)
This song, used in JR East’s “Shinkansen YEAR 2017” commercial (The Shinkansen Running Through the Four Seasons), is an original track by composer fu_mou, who produces and writes songs for anime and idol groups such as Shiritsu Ebisu Chugaku and Up Up Girls (Kari).
He is also known for his remixes of Yuzu’s “Irotoridori” and Porter Robinson’s “Flicker.” While he specializes in electronica and rock, this CM track stands out for its delicate sound that evokes “wa” and Japan’s distinct four seasons.
It combines a sense of speed with a relaxing comfort—something that would feel right at home playing in a ryokan.
JR East ‘JR SKISKI 2018-19’
This is a commercial featuring a song by sumika, a four-piece pop-rock band from Kanagawa Prefecture.
Don’t you ever feel like ditching work and just going somewhere? If you’re a working adult, you probably get it.
Maybe it’s the exhilarating sound, but that feeling gets even stronger.
The song is included on their mini album “Chime,” released in 2019, so if you’re interested, be sure to pick up a copy.
