Just hearing this fun tune is sure to make any drinking occasion more enjoyable!

This song was released in 1965.
In addition to being used in commercials for Honda’s Accord, it was also featured in ads for Kirin’s Two Dogs.

In the KIRIN FREE commercial featuring Eita and Kimiko Date, a track by the British duo Wham! was used.
Wham!’s bright, fresh vocals complement the refreshing vibe of the non-alcoholic beer KIRIN FREE.
This invigorating song is sure to lift your spirits—and likely boost your appetite, too!
bouquetback number
As you’d expect, this is the song many people think of when they hear back number! It’s their second single, released in 2011, and a true classic.
Shimizu Iyori himself appears alongside Mikako Tabe in the Green Label “GREEN JUKEBOX Yui” TV commercial, whose refreshing vibe feels just right.
It’s a lovely track with female-perspective lyrics over a simple band sound, but in the commercial it’s performed gently on acoustic guitar.
Sharing a casual drink with someone special—this song makes you appreciate those small moments of happiness.
A bright futurenever young beach
Formed in 2014 and making their major-label debut in 2017, the rock band never young beach has a song featured in a commercial for Kirin Hakkō Lemon Sour.
Speaking of never young beach, their appeal lies in laid-back tunes grounded in a floaty sound and relaxed, effortless vocals.
The more you listen, the more their songs get under your skin.
Of course, this track fully captures that vibe as well, making it a perfect fit for the calm commercial depicting a married couple enjoying drinks.
