[Covers and Parodies Are Appealing Too] Kirin’s Commercial Song [2026]

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!

Let's go see (someone).UA

This commercial, supported by KIRIN and JR Central, portrays a summer where, for the first time in four years, people can go see those they’ve been longing to meet.

It strikingly depicts the excitement building just before heading home and the lively reunions with friends at their destinations, powerfully conveying the joy of everyday life returning to normal.

A key point is the use of “Little Brown Jug” and “Let’s Go See,” tracks featured in each company’s commercials.

The buoyant feel of “Little Brown Jug,” which conveys a skipping heart, and the refreshing sound of “Let’s Go See,” which evokes expansive scenery, harmonize in a memorable way.

This is a commercial for Hanayoi, a sparkling fruit liqueur released by Kirin Beer.

Featuring Jun Shison, Mizuki Yamamoto, and others, the ad strikingly captures the cast having a wonderful time with Hanayoi in hand.

In line with the product name, the stylish CM is titled “Good Faces, Bloom.” The background music is Utopia, released in 2023 by singer-songwriter imase.

Also used as the theme song for the film SAND LAND, the track is a pleasant blend of imase’s high-tone vocals and a lively melody.

Nagi’s Long Vacation Main ThemePasukaruzu

This is a commercial for Hyoketsu’s new initiative focusing on delicious fruit that ends up being deemed non-standard, featuring the first installment highlighting Hama-nashi, a specialty of Yokohama.

It clearly conveys, through scenes of interacting with local farmers, that the taste remains unchanged even if the fruit doesn’t meet standards.

The lightness of “Nagi no Oitoma Main Theme” also seems to further emphasize the warmth of these interactions.
