Kirin Beer Commercial Roundup: Star-Studded Casts and Captivating Music! (21–30)
Kirin Beer Tanrei Green Label “GREEN LABEL Mini Mrs.” versionMrs. GREEN APPLE
It’s a charming commercial featuring the three members of Mrs.
GREEN APPLE appearing in miniature.
Many fans were probably captivated by the sight of the trio cheerfully cleaning a can of Tanrei Green Label together.
The background music is an acoustic version of one of their signature songs, “Que Sera Sera.” With a calmer arrangement than the original, it’s the kind of performance that makes you fall in love with their vocals.
Kirin Beer Harekaze “Beloved Memories” VersionNEW!Yuki Amami
In the spring of 2026, Harekaze is highlighting a renewal two years after its launch.
In the new commercial, Yuki Amami talks about her experience leaving the Takarazuka Revue and says that because of that experience, she was able to work hard on the next stage of her life.
She goes on to say that Harekaze is the same: it’s precisely because it has the track record of being enjoyed by so many people over the past two years that it can take a new step forward.
Her talk, grounded in rich experience, was so compelling that you couldn’t help but listen.
In the background of Amami’s narration, the familiar “Kaze ni Naritai” plays as the BGM.
Kirin Beer Kirin Ichiban Shibori “Telepathy” VersionNEW!Tomoya Nakamura, Kento Kaku
Tomoya Nakamura and Kento Kaku appear as a senior and junior colleague at a company, depicting them on their way back from a business trip.
From the way Kaku begs Nakamura to take him out for a drink, you can clearly see the strong bond of trust between them.
The background music is a familiar instrumental arrangement of “Les Champs-Élysées.” In Japan, this famous chanson is known by the title “Au Champs-Élysées.”
Kirin Beer Tanrei Green Label “GREEN JUKEBOX Snow” Version 60 seconds
The commercial for Tanrei Green Label, with its focus on the color green, felt like a movie.
The acoustic version of “Heroine” is also fantastic.
The worldview of the lyrics—about the girl who smiles at the beauty of the snow being his own heroine—somehow feels in tune with the commercial, making it a song I want to listen to over and over.
Come to think of it, there was something like snow falling in the commercial too.
Kirin Beer Harekaze “Harekaze Gets a Refresh” EditionNEW!Ren Meguro, narration: Yuki Amami
This commercial portrays Ren Meguro speaking about his new challenge, while also promoting the challenge of renewing Harekaze.
His powerful declaration of determination is striking, expressing a strong conviction that he has continued to take on challenges and expand his potential.
The music that emphasizes the positive attitude within the refreshing imagery is an arrangement of THE BOOM’s “Kaze ni Naritai.” The structure of layered vocals over a gentle rhythm is memorable, evoking a positive mindset of moving forward step by step.
Kirin Beer Kirin Ichiban Shibori “Watermelon Splitting” VersionNEW!Tomoya Nakamura
This is a commercial that portrays Tomoya Nakamura taking on the watermelon-splitting challenge, while also promoting Ichiban Shibori as the perfect summer beer.
His comical confusion about directions adds humor, and the structure—enjoying an Ichiban Shibori after such an event—conveys a sense of relaxation.
The song that further accentuates the gently soft atmosphere depicted in the visuals is “Les Champs-Élysées.” Its strikingly festive brass arrangement stands out, and the warmth of its timbre helps communicate that relaxed feeling.
Kirin Beer Kirin Ichiban Shibori “Nagashi Somen” VersionNEW!Tomoya Nakamura
This commercial depicts Tomoya Nakamura taking on nagashi-somen, conveying how Kirin Ichiban elevates the fun of a seasonal event like this.
It captures the joy of embracing even the mishaps, while clearly expressing the relaxation that comes with a beer.
Further enhancing the easygoing vibe of the visuals is the song “Les Champs-Élysées.” The key point is its brass arrangement, whose lively melody conveys a sense of warmth.
