[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!

The commercial for Mori no Ka Gin Soda, released by Kirin Beer, features Issey Takahashi and Ayaka Miyoshi.

In keeping with the product name, footage of the two walking through a forest is used, and many viewers were likely captivated by its stunning visuals.

The BGM is Bara no Hana, released in 2001 as one of Quruli’s signature songs.

The commercial uses a CM-original cover version with female vocals, which exudes a pure atmosphere distinct from the original.

This is a commercial for Hyoketsu’s new initiative focusing on delicious fruit that ends up being deemed non-standard, featuring the first installment highlighting Hama-nashi, a specialty of Yokohama.

It clearly conveys, through scenes of interacting with local farmers, that the taste remains unchanged even if the fruit doesn’t meet standards.

The lightness of “Nagi no Oitoma Main Theme” also seems to further emphasize the warmth of these interactions.

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.

This commercial portrays the landscapes of Sri Lanka—truly a sacred place for tea—and the interactions with the people who live there.

It features Ren Meguro experiencing the local tea-making process, and the warmth of the people evokes the gentle flavor of the tea.

Another highlight is the use of an arrangement of ‘Momen no Handkerchief’ (Cotton Handkerchief); its calm sound conveys a clear sense of kindness and feelings directed toward someone far away.

Kirin Beverage FIRE One Day “Man on the Job” Edition

Original songOkada Pirō, Oda Yūsuke

The commercial “Man on Set” depicts Hiroki Hasegawa enjoying a coffee during a break on a film set.

From the moment he looks at the package to his first sip, Hasegawa’s monologue conveys his expectations for the product and his impressions of its taste.

His expressions clearly communicate how delicious it is.

The background music has a catchy tempo and is an original piece created specifically for this commercial.

The track is by Piro Okada, who works as a musician and composer, and trumpet player Yusuke Orita.

The hit song Fushigi by Gen Hoshino was used in Kirin Beer’s commercial Tanrei Green Label: “Short Sleeves and Green Label.” The track balances stylishness with a touch of ennui, and the commercial captures that mood perfectly, resulting in a laid-back, easygoing atmosphere that matches the song’s tone.
