[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!

Oh, the pastures are green

This commercial focuses on the green color and refreshing feel of Green Label, conveying a light, easy-drinking taste through cheerful scenes set in nature.

It depicts friends enjoying playing music outdoors, and by overlaying Green Label, it also expresses a positive image.

To emphasize that refreshing mood, the piece performed in the video is “Ah Lovely Meadows,” known in Japanese as “Ō Bokujō wa Midori” (“The Green Pastures”).

Since it’s a song with a ranch theme, the sound conveys a gentle respect for nature and a refreshing sense of being in a vast landscape.

This commercial focuses on the refreshing feel of Tanrei Green Label and conveys the excitement of something about to begin.

In the story, Mikako Tabe selects “Beginning” on a mysterious jukebox, and a train carrying Motoki Omori arrives—an unfolding that clearly expresses a fresh, breezy atmosphere.

To underscore that freshness, Motoki Omori performs Mrs.

GREEN APPLE’s “Ao to Natsu.” The acoustic, sing-and-play arrangement creates a calmer mood than the original, conveying a gentle warmth.

This commercial has the atmosphere of a documentary in which we ask the intellectual giant Robert Campbell about Kirin “Joujou Shochu Soda.” It’s striking how he’s asked why people haven’t been drinking it, and why he himself hasn’t until now, showing a pensive expression.

The first half proceeds with a tense look, but when he finally smiles at the end, it clearly conveys how delicious it is.

Alongside the bright shift in visuals, the song “Somebody Stole My Gal” also seems to emphasize the drink’s refreshing taste.

This commercial depicts Ren Meguro riding a train known as the Tea Railway and traveling around Sri Lanka.

It not only deepens understanding of the environment in which the Sri Lankan tea leaves used in Gogo no Koucha are grown, but also conveys a sense of reassurance about the tea through the people seen locally.

The song used is an arrangement of “Momen no Handkerchief” (Cotton Handkerchief).

Its theme of longing for a distant place perfectly matches the commercial’s message of connection with a foreign land.
