deep beepKimura Kaera
After working as a model, Kaela Kimura established her popularity with her distinctive style and approachable rock numbers.
The song “deep beep” was used in the “Dual blend eyes” commercial.
Like “Kidoairaku plus Ai,” which was also featured in a KATE commercial, it appears on the album 8EIGHT8.
Produced by Shinobu Watanabe of ASPARAGUS, it’s a rock track notable for its striking guitar cutting.
The rhythm—crafted around the theme of an alarm and designed to wake you up—is also a highlight.
If it’s a lie, be gentle.Anri
It was released in 1991 as Anri’s 26th single.
It was a re-cut single from her 15th album, “NEUTRAL,” and was used as the 1991 Kanebo Cosmetics autumn image song.
Anri also served as the first image character for T’ESTIMO, a point makeup brand that became a major hit.
Lips, speak passionately of youCrystal Kay
The energetic, euphoric tone of the song is striking.
Sung by Crystal Kay, this track was featured as the commercial song for “Kibō yo, Ugokidase” (“Hope, set in motion”).
It has an original version: the song was first released in 1980 by Machiko Watanabe.
Lips—an element that expresses femininity and, by extension, one’s true self—serve as the theme, and the passionate lyrics pair perfectly with Crystal Kay’s dazzling vocals.
With this song, doing your makeup might just become more fun!
Original songSasaki Tooru
I’m drawn in by the modern, contemporary-style sound arrangement.
This is the song that was used for Kanebo’s “Anytime, Various White Oil” commercial.
It was composed by Toru Sasaki, a composer with Handsome Tracks, Inc.
The crisp sonic image matches the clean feel of the commercial.
It’s not exactly passionate, yet it doesn’t lean fully into cool detachment either—its high-sense tone is striking.
If anything could be called “sophisticated music,” this would be it.
Never BoundKaori Takeda
In 2020, Ayami Nakajo, who is active as a model and actress, appeared in the commercial for KATE LinerEX2.0 20SS, which featured the song “Never Bound.” The lyrics and composition for the CM were handled by different creators, and the singer Kaori Takeda performed the vocals.
She’s a seasoned professional who has sung numerous commercial songs, including Honda’s CM song “Rock ’n’ Roll Widow.” The high-pitched vocals, kept at a steady tempo, match KATE’s mysterious vibe and look really cool.

I DON’T KNOWMICA 3 CHU
I bet some of you have even sung this at karaoke.
It’s the song used in the “SPIDER’S TRAP” spot featuring Mika Nakashima herself—an all-English-lyrics, hard-hitting, no-frills rock number.
It made waves for its collaboration with the comedy trio Morisanchu, which came about because Mika Nakashima, a fan of theirs, personally reached out to them.
Released under the name MICA 3 CHU, it’s included on the album VOICE as well as KATE’s compilation album NO MORE RULES.
The catchy chorus makes you want to shout along, and the free-spirited attitude is just cool.
The synergy between Mika Nakashima and a band is truly the best, isn’t it?
Nothing but MineParellite
In 2019, Parellite’s “Nothing but Mine” was used in the web movie “CC Personal Lip,” which featured Aya Marsh and Rinne Yoshida.
The song is known as the opening theme for “Who Is the Wolf-chan? Don’t Be Fooled by the Moon,” and the red-themed “Wolf-chan makeup” in the commercial was also memorable.
Its fast-paced band sound and melodious vibe lift your spirits! It seems to align with KATE’s confident image as well.
There are parts that make you want to sing along, and the bold message—something like “You are mine, and I’m your one and only”—is classic pop punk and wonderfully refreshing.
