Surf Paradise, Ski ParadiseNEW!Matsutōya Yumi
Just as the saying goes, “Kids are like the wind,” children are full of energy even in the cold—and this commercial highlights how Pocari Sweat supports that energy.
The lively back-and-forth between Yoh Yoshida and Rio Suzuki is striking, and it also conveys their determination to enjoy the season to the fullest, not to be outdone by the kids.
The song that accentuates the bright mood depicted in the visuals is Yumi Matsutoya’s “Surf Tengoku, Ski Tengoku.” It’s a track that portrays seasonal leisure activities with a light, upbeat sound, and its dazzling development evokes smiles, doesn’t it?
Les Champs-ÉlyséesNEW!Joe Dassin
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.”
Twist & ShoutNEW!The Beatles
This is a commercial that confidently showcases the distinctive taste of Kirin Ichiban Shibori White Beer.
The catchphrase “Another delicious beer” is used to highlight that it offers a different kind of deliciousness from typical beers.
The background music features a cover of “Twist & Shout.” While the version performed by The Beatles in 1963 is well known, the original was by The Top Notes in 1961.
Always Look on the Bright Side of LifeEric Idle
Etsushi Toyokawa is doing squats while watching a TV show featuring Shinji Takeda.
Apparently, he’s recently been overeating and is taking a break from beer.
His on-screen daughter, Ayami Ichijo, recommends Kirin Ichiban Zero Sugar to him.
The two of them drink Ichiban Zero Sugar together, emphasizing that even with zero sugar, the taste isn’t compromised.
The familiar song “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life” plays as the BGM.
Little Brown Jug (parody version)
Among the most famous numbers in jazz, “Little Brown Jug” is featured in this commercial, which boldly turns the snappy tune into a parody.
Set to footage for Kirin Ichiban Shibori Draft Beer, it’s a unique piece that weaves the feelings and lines from those moments when you just want a beer into the melody.
I want to become the wind.
This commercial showcases, through the appearances of Teruyoshi Uchimura and Ren Meguro, how the refreshing taste of Kirin Harekaze is perfect for enriching everyday life.
As Uchimura and Meguro look back on the past year, their smiles and conversation, paired with enjoying Harekaze, convey how it supports the fun in life.
The song that further highlights the positive mood depicted in the visuals is Kaze ni Naritai.
While the original track has a lively, festival-like feel, the commercial features a gentle arrangement that conveys a calm, refreshing atmosphere.

Starlight Parade (solo acoustic)Fukase（SEKAI NO OWARI）
This commercial features SEKAI NO OWARI’s Fukase performing a stripped-down version of “Starlight Parade.” As with the other Tannrei Green Label commercials, the music, visuals, and beer are a perfect match.
On days off, I’d love to relax and toast with beer and music just like in this ad.
