Kirin Beer Hyoketsu “CLUB Hyoketsu: Let’s Make a Song” VersionMitsuki Takahata, SEKAI NO OWARI
In this commercial where Mitsuki Takahata appears alongside the members of SEKAI NO OWARI, you can see them jamming on “Turquoise.” The performance kicks off with Takahata’s cue of “One, two, three!” and then Fukase and Takahata layer their vocals over the accompaniment.
It’s striking how everyone—both SEKAI NO OWARI and Takahata—looks like they’re having a great time.
In the latter half of the ad, they all raise cans of Hyoketsu for a toast, and Takahata’s straightforward line, “Ah—so good!” leaves a strong impression.

This commercial showcases the environment where Harekaze’s ingredients are grown, highlighting the care and craftsmanship behind them.
It features Ren Meguro helping with the harvest of domestically grown hops; even in the heat, his smile and the bright scenery vividly convey a refreshing feeling.
The song that further accentuates the video’s cheerful mood is THE BOOM’s “Kaze ni Naritai.” The lively sound of various percussion instruments is striking, and the layered vocals within that rhythm enhance the sense of fun.
Kirin Beer Tanrei Green Label: “Little Jukebox” Version
You can tell from the title alone that it’s packed to the brim with youth: “Youth and Youth and Youth.” It’s included as the B-side to Aimyon’s hit song “You Don’t Listen to Rock.” The lyrics read like every single heart-fluttering day has been transcribed, and the laid-back melody evokes the feel of summer—listen, and in an instant, youth unfolds before your eyes.
It’s moving for those in the thick of their youth, of course, and for adults, the added touch of nostalgia lets you savor the piece even more deeply.

“Kimi wa Rock wo Kikanai” (You Don’t Listen to Rock), familiar from the Kirin Beer Tanrei Green Label commercial, is a song released by Aimyon in 2017 as her third major single.
It’s a number that sings of a lovestruck boy’s feelings, blending sweetness with melancholy.
There’s a real depth in expressing the frustration of wanting to get closer even if you might never truly understand each other through the phrase “You don’t listen to rock.” It’s a song about unrequited love that will move not only rock-loving guys, but anyone who listens.
