Each cut is brought to life with illustrations that make you imagine the stories etched within.
The commercial closes with the narrated line, “Living with comfort.” The BGM features Bialystocks’ ‘Sashi-iro,’ a song whose refined, stylish feel fits the mood of the commercial perfectly.
Kirin Lemon Songmiyakawa-kun
Kirin Lemon’s original commercial song, “Kirin Lemon no Uta,” was created around the concept of “Stay transparent.” Its catchy phrases are so memorable that once you hear them, they stick.
The version sung by Miyakawa-kun, a singer-songwriter from Tokyo’s Shikinejima, is the epitome of fresh and breezy—absolutely perfect! His soaring, piercingly clear vocals make you feel totally refreshed just by listening.
It’s a track that gives you powerful energy to throw yourself in wholeheartedly and take that first step forward.
Little Brown Jugtsutsumi shinichi
As the title suggests, “Little Brown Jug” is a jazz standard derived from alcohol.
First published in Philadelphia, USA, in 1869, it has since become a well-known song included in school textbooks as a folk tune.
In Japan, it became widely recognized through its use in Kirin Ichiban Shibori commercials.
The song carries a message along the lines of: no matter how tough things get, let’s draw a little strength from a drink and keep going! It’s a joyful, upbeat, and powerful number that perfectly fits this commercial series.
accent colorBialystocks
This commercial depicts how Namacha supports the small, everyday moments in our lives under the theme “Living with comfort.” The scenes of Ryohei Suzuki and Natsuki Deguchi walking through refreshing landscapes and happily sipping Namacha clearly convey a sense of relaxation and happiness.
Further highlighting the gentle atmosphere of the visuals is the song “Sashi-iro” by Bialystocks.
Its calm rhythm and richly layered sound leave a strong impression, giving the music a tender, comforting feel.
GoodbyeManako Arata
This commercial portrays Mayu Hotta working hard to prepare for a summer festival and her interactions with the people around her, while also highlighting the refreshing appeal of Hyoketsu.
As she chats with her childhood friend with a smile and the preparations for the food stalls progress enjoyably, it conveys the heat and freshness of summer, along with the mounting excitement as the event approaches.
Further accentuating the cheerful atmosphere of the visuals is the song “Sainara” by Arata Manako.
Its light, acoustic sound—tinged with a sense of busyness—and the brisk, fast-paced vocals amplify the feeling of exhilaration.
Les Champs-Élysées
This is a series of commercials in which Ryohei Suzuki and Kento Kaku play senior and junior colleagues at a company.
In the latest spot, the two head out for drinks on the last night of a business trip.
Kaku, playing the junior, adorably nails the clowning: he tries to take a sip before the toast and, when asked about their relationship, cheerfully answers, “We’re drinking buddies!” The background music is the familiar Kirin Beer CM tune, “Les Champs-Élysées.”
Les Champs-Élysées
This commercial portrays the refreshing feel of Kirin Ichiban Shibori and the joy of having a delicious beer through a conversation between sisters in an airport lounge.
The sisters are played by Hikari Mitsushima and Marie Iitoyo, and the storyline—where the younger sister looks out for her older sister—conveys a sense of warmth.
The song that beautifully highlights the gentle, warm atmosphere of the visuals is “Les Champs-Élysées.” The brass-centered sound is striking, and its brilliant resonance effectively expresses a sense of hope and exhilaration for what lies ahead.
