Smirnoff Ice “Full-On Personality” Version

Nice commercial: Kirin Smirnoff Ice, Taishi Fushigami, ♪ B’z — “Full of Authenticity” version, 15s + 30s

It’s a song included on B’z’s 19th original album, released in 2015.

It was used in a commercial for Kirin’s “Smirnoff Ice” and was written specifically for the ad.

Takahiro Matsumoto, who composed the music, said it was easy to create because the tie-in requested a specific style—“a beat like this,” and so on.

Conversely, Koshi Inaba, who wrote the lyrics, said it was difficult because there were no requests regarding the words.

New beer — the name is a secret — Mr. Uchimura — 15 seconds

Teruyoshi Uchimura of the comedy duo Ucchan Nanchan is drinking KIRIN’s new beer.

It looks like the new name is written in the background, but Mio Imada, who serves as the narrator, stops him from saying it.

Their exchange—Uchimura insisting, “Just one character…” and Imada firmly replying, “No”—is quite charming.

The commercial features a bossa nova-style arrangement of THE BOOM’s 1995 hit ‘Kaze ni Naritai’ (I Want to Be the Wind).

The breezy, refreshing song is perfect for a spring ad!

Kirishima Moka, who is active both as an actress and as a singer, performs “Kirin Lemon no Uta.” Many artists have arranged this melody for Kirin Lemon commercials, but this version has been crafted into a pleasant piece that showcases Kamishiraishi Moka’s signature clear, translucent vocals.

Though short, both the lyrics and the performance are arranged in a way that brims with her charm.

It also uses a melody that’s long been familiar, so it’s delightful that you can sing along after hearing it just once.
