SING AS WE GONagano Akira (APOGEE)
The commercial for the non-alcoholic, functionally labeled beer Karada FREE—’Reduce Belly Fat’ edition—is a highly memorable piece featuring striking visuals of a wide-open blue sky.
The music is performed by Ryo Nagano, the vocalist of the rock band APOGEE.
He has worked on numerous commercial tracks, and this upbeat BGM perfectly showcases his appeal.
FreedomWham!
Set to Wham!’s “Freedom,” which perfectly matches a wholesome, bright, and healthy image, it became a hot topic for making the future look radiant.
The healthy product strategy—a key appeal of being alcohol-free—and the depictions of family were also praised as heartwarming scenes.
Listening to Wham!’s “Freedom” with this kind of imagery gives it a whole new feel, doesn’t it?
A Little Love SongYamada Katsuya
The song used in the Kirin Beer commercial, which movingly portrays the story of a son aspiring to be a comedian and his father, is “Chiisana Koi no Uta,” the signature hit by the rock band MONGOL800.
In this ad, it’s presented as an instrumental version arranged by Katsuya Yamada, who handled the commercial’s music.
The beginning has a quiet, piano-only impression, but in the latter half brass sounds are added, adding flair to the touching story.
It’s a classic that continues to be loved no matter how many years have passed since its release!
You don’t listen to rock.aimyon
“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.
