[Historic Collection] Popular Kirin Beer CM Songs and Commercial Tunes

Youth and youth and youthaimyon

Aimyon – Youth and Youth and Youth [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

Aimyon “Youth and Youth and Youth” acoustic performance; Alice Hirose also appears — New Tanrei Green Label commercial, “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.

Little Brown Jugtsutsumi shinichi

This commercial features Shinichi Tsutsumi conveying, with a drama-like atmosphere, the situations in which Kirin Ichiban Shibori Draft Beer tastes even better.

It emphasizes the sense of release that comes precisely from the time it takes to finally relax with a beer after the demanding preparations of camping.

The parody of “Little Brown Jug” sung by Shinichi Tsutsumi also directly conveys the overall feeling and fun of the spot.

Set to a buoyant rhythm that evokes the original song’s vibe, the ad straightforwardly depicts how delicious a beer at a campsite can be.
