[Covers and Parodies Are Appealing Too] Kirin Commercial Songs [2026] (111–120)
DesperadoThe Eagles
This song was released in 1973.
It was featured as an insert song in the drama The Grand Family starring Takuya Kimura, and was also used in a lager beer commercial.
It has been widely loved, with many musicians covering it, including Ken Hirai, Superfly, and Kobukuro.
I want to become the wind.
This commercial announces that Harekaze, which also uses part of its sales to fund cherry tree planting activities, has now developed a service that can assess the health of cherry trees.
The Sakura AI Camera can determine a cherry tree’s age and health just by photographing it, and the data is sent to local governments to aid in cherry tree conservation.
Just like Ren Meguro and Mio Imada, who are amazed when they hear how it works, you may also have found yourself thinking, “Amazing!” after watching this commercial.
Distance of the Starry SkyTHE ALFEE
It was released in 1984.
It was also used as the theme song for the TBS Friday drama “Innocent Relationship.” At live shows, it’s famous as a staple encore number, and it was featured in the commercial song for KIRIN Nodogoshi Nama, “Yume no Dream.”
Tea For TwoMoriyama Naotaro
Noriyaro Moriyama and Issei Takahashi perform “Tea for Two,” a song used in the musical No, No, Nanette that later became a jazz standard famously sung by Doris Day.
Hearing Issei Takahashi’s awkward piano playing reminds me of my elementary school homeroom teacher, who could only play about three chords.
Every day is special.Takeuchi Mariya
This song was written in 2001 as the theme for Fuji TV’s “Mezamashi TV.” It has become established as a refreshing, positive anthem supporting everyday life, and in 2007 it was also used as the commercial song for Sony’s Handycam.
Les Champs-ÉlyséesJoe Dassin
This is a commercial featuring interviews with Shinichi Tsutsumi and Kento Kaku about their feelings toward beer and Ichiban Shibori.
Both speak passionately with serious expressions, and those who feel the same way about beer will likely relate.
As the closing narration says, “Because you’re here, we can be more delicious,” it expresses gratitude for the continual support of many beer fans that has allowed the brand to keep evolving.
I want to become the wind.
This is a commercial announcing that Harekaze has been selected for the 2024 Food Hit Grand Prize.
The Food Hit Grand Prize is apparently awarded to products that drew significant attention in the market over the course of a year.
In this commercial, we see the four people who appear in Harekaze’s ads being told that Harekaze has won the award.
They rejoice as if it were their own achievement, and their words of appreciation for those involved in the manufacturing process overflow, warming the hearts of viewers as well.
