[Covers and Parodies Are Appealing Too] Kirin’s Commercial Song [2026]

Kirin is a beverage manufacturer that handles a wide variety of drinks, from alcohol to soft drinks.

In beer, there’s Tanrei and Hon-Kirin; in chu-hi, Hyoketsu; and in soft drinks, Afternoon Tea and Kirin Lemon—its lineup is packed with popular products.

You also see their commercials on TV quite often, don’t you?

Kirin’s commercial songs sometimes use existing tracks as tie-ins, of course, but there are also many cases where the featured performers sing parody versions, or popular songs are reinterpreted as acoustic self-covers—unique versions you can only hear in the commercials.

In this article, we’ll introduce a whole selection of Kirin commercial tracks that many viewers have been curious about.

Enjoy!

[Covers and parodies are appealing too] Kirin’s commercial songs [2026] (61–70)

Kirin Beverage Kirin iMUSE “Introducing iMUSE Off-White” edition

Wonderful Daysyunikōn

This is a commercial introducing iMUSE, set to the instrumental version of Unicorn’s classic 1993 song “Subarashii Hibi.” Alice Hirose hands an iMUSE to a junior colleague, who is surprised by how delicious it is.

Hirose then points out that it’s not just tasty—it also supports immune care thanks to the action of plasma lactobacillus.

The commercial strongly emphasizes that it’s a beverage that’s both delicious and helps care for your body.

A lively song with a bouncy rhythm by the rock band back number, “Akarui Yoruni.” It’s a track with a light, pleasant groove that makes your steps feel lighter as you listen.

With vocalist Iyori Shimizu’s gentle singing layered on top, it becomes even more dramatic.

Play it in an open, freeing scene—like in a commercial—and it’ll lift your mood even more.

Perfect for drives, walks, and your commute to work or school!

Les Champs-Élysées

Les Champs-Élysées

After sending a message to commend those who worked hard despite the heat, the crisp “pssh!” of a beer being opened and enjoyed leaves a strong impression.

Watching Hikari Mitsushima drink deliciously with the ocean in the background probably made many people think, “I want one too!” The familiar ‘Les Champs-Élysées’ is used as the BGM.

The original has lyrics, but the commercial features an instrumental version with only brass instruments.

Kirin Beverage Kirin Oishii Meneki Care “An Invention That Protects Health” Version

Wonderful Daysyunikōn

This commercial, in which Yuki Amami recommends Kirin’s delicious Immunity Care for staying healthy in winter, features Alice Hirose as Amami’s co-star.

The content makes it feel as if Hirose is speaking on behalf of consumers.

The BGM for this CM uses an arranged version of “Subarashii Hibi,” released by Unicorn in 1993.

Since the track has been arranged as an instrumental, many people may have thought, “I recognize this melody from somewhere, but whose song is it again?”

Kirin Beer Kirin Ichiban Shibori Summer Greeting “Song” Version / “Message” Version

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.

I want to become the wind.

It’s a commercial that makes you long for summertime traditions like fireworks and festivals.
