[Covers and parodies are appealing too] Kirin’s commercial songs [2026] (11–20)
Cartoon HeroesAQUA
This memorable commercial for non-alcoholic Lager Zero was created in collaboration with the drama “Kodoku no Gourmet.” Goro Inogashira, played by Yutaka Matsushige, is characterized as someone who can’t drink alcohol.
In the ad, we see Goro visiting a restaurant that serves alcohol but also offers delicious food.
A message from the ad’s producer appears, addressed to Matsushige, who has long portrayed the teetotaler Goro Inogashira: “We should have reached out to you sooner.” It then shows Matsushige enjoying a Lager Zero.
The song that plays in the latter half of the commercial is “Cartoon Heroes” by the Danish group Aqua, notable for its poppy, catchy melody and bright, polished production.
Always Look on the Bright Side of LifeEric Idle
Here are two commercials introducing the delicious taste of Kirin Ichiban Shibori Zero Sugar.
These are part of a series featuring Etsushi Toyokawa and Ayami Nakajo as a father-daughter duo.
In the ads, Toyokawa, playing the father, realizes that zero-sugar beer tastes good but stubbornly refuses to admit it.
Like Toyokawa’s character, aren’t there many people who feel, “I kind of don’t want to admit it, but it’s definitely tasty…”? The background music is the familiar ‘Always Look on the Bright Side of Life,’ the ending theme of the 1979 film ‘Life of Brian’—you’ve probably heard it somewhere outside of this commercial as well.
JUMPImawano Kiyoshirō
This commercial showcases the journey of Nodogoshi
By featuring the people involved at each stage, it powerfully conveys the dedication of many individuals.
The background music is a brass arrangement of Kiyoshiro Imawano’s “JUMP,” adding a bright and festive tone to the commercial.
Wonderful Daysyunikōn
This is a commercial introducing a delicious way to support immunity through the effects of plasma lactic acid bacteria.
In this ad, the message is directed at families with a student preparing for exams, encouraging not only the student but also their family to practice immune care together so everyone stays healthy up to the exam day.
The background music features an instrumental arrangement of Unicorn’s song “Subarashii Hibi.” While this track has been used in other Kirin Beverage commercials, this time the arrangement stands out for its strings and conveys a solemn, striking atmosphere.
I want to become the wind.
This commercial showcases, through the appearances of Teruyoshi Uchimura and Ren Meguro, how the refreshing taste of Kirin Harekaze is perfect for enriching everyday life.
As Uchimura and Meguro look back on the past year, their smiles and conversation, paired with enjoying Harekaze, convey how it supports the fun in life.
The song that further highlights the positive mood depicted in the visuals is Kaze ni Naritai.
While the original track has a lively, festival-like feel, the commercial features a gentle arrangement that conveys a calm, refreshing atmosphere.
SeptemberEarth, Wind & Fire
This is a commercial that depicts how Hon-Kirin is enjoyed in each person’s daily life and conveys the exhilaration that comes from its delicious taste.
It portrays everyday scenes with Alice Hirose and Anne Nakamura, as well as Akiyoshi Nakao and Yosuke Eguchi, showing how the feeling of “delicious” can expand one’s world.
The song that further emphasizes the fun conveyed by the visuals is Earth, Wind & Fire’s “September.” Its buoyant, light sound and distinctive vocals create a happy atmosphere that makes you feel the joy in everyday life.

GOOD DAYMrs. GREEN APPLE
It’s a simple commercial where the cast members drink Killin Good Ale and share their impressions of the taste.
Hearing them describe it as fruity, vibrant, and aromatic makes you think it might be a bit different from standard beers, which piques your interest.
The BGM features “GOOD DAY” by Mrs.
GREEN APPLE, with vocals by Motoki Ohmori, who also appears in the ad.
The upbeat lyrics encourage a laid-back, easygoing attitude, which is really appealing.
Combined with the refreshing melody and Ohmori’s pure vocals, it’s the kind of song that’s likely to lift your spirits as you listen.
