Kirin is a beverage manufacturer that handles a wide variety of drinks, from alcohol to soft drinks.

In beer, there’s Tanrei and Hon-Kirin; in chu-hi, Hyoketsu; and in soft drinks, Afternoon Tea and Kirin Lemon—its lineup is packed with popular products.

You also see their commercials on TV quite often, don’t you?

Kirin’s commercial songs sometimes use existing tracks as tie-ins, of course, but there are also many cases where the featured performers sing parody versions, or popular songs are reinterpreted as acoustic self-covers—unique versions you can only hear in the commercials.

In this article, we’ll introduce a whole selection of Kirin commercial tracks that many viewers have been curious about.

Enjoy!

Kirin Beer Kirin Jojo Shochu Soda: Ask the Giant of Knowledge — “Why hasn’t it been drunk?” / “Why haven’t we been drinking it until now?” / “Me?”

Somebody Stole My Gal

PEE WEE HUNT CD Vintage Jazz Swing Orchestra. Somebody Stole My Gal / Spain …

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.

Karada FREE “Too Good to Be True” Version

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.
