CENTERFOLDOda Yusuke Brass Band
Isn’t the brass band piece “CENTERFOLD” a song many of us find very familiar? Even if the title doesn’t ring a bell, your ears have probably memorized it.
It’s a perfect match for actor Kenta Kiritani’s cheerful persona, and it’s a dependable BGM that creates a lively mood.

Noda Yojiro, the vocalist of the rock band RADWIMPS, sings “Nekojarashi.” His voice, carried by piano arpeggios and an orchestra, spreads out on a grand scale in this track.
Starting with an intro that feels like something is about to begin, the song builds dramatically, conveying a message that seems to appeal to the heart.
The dynamic shifts and arrangements are as rich as a film scenario, pulling you deeper and deeper into its world.
Be sure to savor the liberating chorus that appears in the latter half of the song.
Everything is alright.RC sakuseshon
This song, included on RC Succession’s 13th album “HEART ACE,” was released in 1985.
It was put out to commemorate RC’s move to an independent management office, with lyrics and music by Kiyoshiro Imawano.
The Flower Companyz covered it as the theme for Kirin Beer’s “Nodogoshi ALLRIGHT” commercial.
I want you to kiss me.THE BLUE HEARTS
It was released in 1987 as THE BLUE HEARTS’ third single.
The song has been featured in many commercials, with lyrics and composition by Hiroto Kōmoto.
In 2015, it was also used in a Kirin Beer Hyoketsu commercial starring Emi Takei, and it remains a beloved classic many years after its release.

It originally derived from the Scottish folk song “Comin’ Thro’ the Rye,” and in Japan it was arranged under the title “Dareka to Dareka,” also known as “Mugibatake” (Wheat Field).
At that time, the rhythm was changed to a lively one, and because The Drifters also covered it, in Japan it’s more strongly associated with the image of “Mugibatake” than with the original.
As the title suggests, it’s a song set in a wheat field, so it’s a perfect fit for a beer commercial.
It’s a pleasant track that adds color to the luxurious moments of enjoying a beer on your day off.
Love Garmentimase
In the commercial “Koi-Goromo” for Kirin’s flagship product, Afternoon Tea, the collaboration with imase has been creating a buzz.
The CM features imase’s song “Koi-Goromo” as the BGM, and it also uses footage from the music video, whose visual beauty is captivating.
“Koi-Goromo,” which plays as the background music, was released in 2024 and portrays winter scenery and the bittersweet romances of youthful days.
It’s a heart-tightening, soul-warming track that perfectly suits the MV depicting students in a brass band.
20th Century BoyT-REX
This song was released in 1973.
It is famous as the main theme for the manga and film 20th Century Boys, but it has also been used in a wide range of contexts, including TV commercials for Toyota Voxy, Sanyo’s Xacti digital cameras, and Kirin’s Bekkaku, as well as background music for Hirake! Ponkikki.
