Ryohei Suzuki appears in Kirin Beer’s “Favorite Spot” commercial.
Known for his natural acting ability, Suzuki shows an exceptionally appetizing way of drinking beer in this ad as well.
The background music by Glenn Miller also matches the commercial’s vibe perfectly.
CopacabanaBarry Manilow
This commercial boosts your desire to give sugar-free Hyoketsu a try by showing Asami Mizukawa and Hayato Isomura speaking passionately about what makes it so great.
The fact that they share their thoughts on a breezy seaside set is another key point, letting you feel the refreshing quality of Hyoketsu.
The song that further emphasizes the crisp, refreshing atmosphere conveyed by the visuals is Barry Manilow’s “Copacabana.” Its dynamic Latin rhythm leaves a strong impression, conveying not only a fun vibe but also a sense of passion.
mysteryHoshino Gen
Gen Hoshino’s song has been selected as the new commercial theme for Kirin Beer.
Its lyrics, which express deep feelings of love, and its 1980s-inspired sound are especially appealing.
Released as a digital-only single in April 2021, it also drew attention as a TV drama theme.
The track was later used in commercials for Tanrei Green Label, in which Hoshino himself appears.
The music video was filmed at Haneda Airport and garnered major attention as it coincided with reports of his marriage to Yui Aragaki.
This work is recommended for those who want to spend a relaxed, unhurried time.
It’s a perfect song for the refreshing early summer vibe.
BOY MEETS GIRLTRF
This is a Kirin Ichiban commercial featuring Hikari Mitsushima, whose cheerful singing leaves a strong impression.
Mitsushima dances light steps to the rhythm of the song, and her buoyant mood feels contagious even through the screen.
By the way, the tune she’s humming is TRF’s signature 1994 hit “BOY MEETS GIRL.” Set to the era-defining TK sound, it portrays a love story that makes the heart flutter.
Youth and youth and youthaimyon
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.
