Kirin commercials. Ads made compelling by their carefully chosen music selections! (101–110)

“Smooth” Commercial Jingle

Jigsaw’s “Sky High” is also a song that has been used in Kirin’s commercials for many years.

The song’s exhilarating sense of freedom perfectly matches the product’s image.

The powerfully sung long notes feel endlessly expansive, lifting your spirits and making you feel joyful and bold.

Green Label Beer “GREEN JUKEBOX: Wind” Edition

Aimyon “Marigold” Acoustic Ver. - Kirin Tanrei Green Label CM “GREEN JUKEBOX: Wind Edition”

Aimer’s song “Marigold,” which made a big splash after its 2018 release and colored the dawn of the Reiwa era, isn’t flashy or extravagant, yet its gently yet powerfully sung melody is deeply moving.

It’s the kind of song that nestles into everyday life—one you might find yourself humming when you spot marigolds at a flower stall by the roadside.

In the commercial, you can enjoy an arpeggiated solo acoustic arrangement that evokes her indie live days.

Green Label (Tanrei) ‘Little Jukebox’ Version

Aimyon performs “Youth and Youth and Youth” under wind chimes; Alice Hirose appears in new TV commercial for Tannrei Green Label

This song was featured in the popular Tannrei Green Label “Jukebox Series” commercial aired in 2021, titled “Small Jukebox.” Although its music video was released in 2021, the song was actually the B-side to her signature 2017 track “Kimi wa Rock wo Kikanai.” Four years after its release, it’s drawing attention again.

The original is a soft, floating rock ballad that’s very characteristic of Aimyon, but in the commercial it’s performed in a stripped-down, singer-songwriter style with just an acoustic guitar—and this acoustic version also suits the song’s atmosphere beautifully.

Afternoon Tea: “The Warmest in the World. Winter” – “Parent-Child Bond” Edition

JUJU 'So That It Overflows with Kindness'

You can hear Sara Minami singing JUJU’s signature song “Yasashisa de Afureru You ni” in the afternoon tea commercial.

Not only can you enjoy her vocals, but the visuals also capture the warm feelings you experience precisely because it’s a cold winter—another highlight.

A hot drink on a chilly day really is one of winter’s little happinesses.

Hyoketsu “Let’s go with something new: Sakana-kun” version

Sakana-kun joins Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra in a black suit in new Kirin Hyoketsu commercial

The song playing in Hyoketsu’s “Let’s Go Anew with Sakana-kun” commercial is Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra’s signature track, “Paradise Has No Border.” From the very first notes, the electrifying, unforgettable melody—one that almost everyone has heard—lifts your spirits! This instrumental number is insanely cool, featuring a collaboration with Sakana-kun boldly sounding the bass sax.

Doesn’t it perfectly fit the mood for a toast, too? It’s a feel-good track that makes you want to enjoy it with everyone.

The ‘Beer Is Always’ Version

Ruriko Kojima savors beer with a blissful expression; Minami Tanaka and Issey Takahashi also take bold swigs. Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra’s “Ribbon feat. Kazutoshi Sakurai” featured in new Kirin Beer commercial.

The song used in Kirin Beer’s TV commercial “Beer Is Always,” which aired around May 2020, was “Ribbon feat.

Kazutoshi Sakurai,” released in 2019 as the first single celebrating Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra’s 30th anniversary.

It’s an extra-special number with Mr.

Children’s Sakurai singing over the fun rhythm composed by NARGO and the vibrant sound of Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra.

The mood is wonderful too—it feels like a celebration of savoring a beer and enjoying time together with someone important.

The love-spun lyrics penned by Atsushi Yanaka also fill you with positivity!

“Nama-cha” Piano Version – 60 seconds

Issey Takahashi and Naotaro Moriyama team up for their first commercial together with a piano-and-vocal session: “Issey-kun put his arm around my right shoulder…”

Noriyaro Moriyama and Issei Takahashi perform “Tea for Two,” a song used in the musical No, No, Nanette that later became a jazz standard famously sung by Doris Day.

Hearing Issei Takahashi’s awkward piano playing reminds me of my elementary school homeroom teacher, who could only play about three chords.
