othersMr.Children
Actor Kento Kaku appears in the commercial for Kirin Tokusei Lemon Sour, which shows him leisurely enjoying a lemon sour at the end of the day.
The ad highlights the careful, time-consuming craftsmanship behind the drink, and the calm, unhurried visuals effectively convey its premium taste.
The background music features Mr.Children’s “others,” further enhancing the commercial’s serene atmosphere.
Sync Of SummerYamashita Tatsuro
This commercial straightforwardly conveys a sense of freshness, depicting people enjoying Kirin “Gogo no Kocha” by the seaside.
Ayami Nakajo and Ren Meguro each savor the tea with their friends, and their relaxed moods combine to create a refreshing atmosphere.
Another key highlight is Tatsuro Yamashita’s first new single in four years, “Sync Of Summer,” written specifically for this ad.
Its breezy sound, tinged with a touch of nostalgia, powerfully evokes a relaxed summer vibe.
Somebody Stole My Gal
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.
Cotton Handkerchief
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.
The Blue Danube
In the Karada FREE commercial featuring Nao Matsushita, an arranged version of the classical staple “The Blue Danube” is used, but unfortunately the arranger has not been announced.
Vocals have been added to the melody, and the lively percussion beats make it a bright and cheerful pop-style arrangement! The original is performed by an orchestra and is impressive for its powerful sound, but this kind of poppy, catchy rendition is also very approachable and easy on the ears.
NO EXCUSEB’z
It’s a song included on B’z’s 19th original album, released in 2015.
It was used in a commercial for Kirin’s “Smirnoff Ice” and was written specifically for the ad.
Takahiro Matsumoto, who composed the music, said it was easy to create because the tie-in requested a specific style—“a beat like this,” and so on.
Conversely, Koshi Inaba, who wrote the lyrics, said it was difficult because there were no requests regarding the words.

Little Green BagGeorge Baker
Featuring Alice Hirose and Reina Triendl, this commercial introduces the dedication of the brewers who craft Kirin Beer’s Hon-Kirin.
It showcases many memorable quotes that reflect their passion for beer making, and the two actresses’ impressed reactions leave a strong impression.
The background music is George Baker’s “Little Green Bag,” a tune well-known from beer commercials.
Its light and refreshing melody is sure to lift your spirits.
