[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!

Kohn Shibori Chu-Hi: “Nothing added, the natural taste of fruit” version

Waltz at the BarnChris Doney & Beth Perry

The piece used in the commercial that conveys the authentic taste of Hon Shibori Chuhai is “Waltz at the Barn” by Chris Donny and Beth Perry.

Chris is active as a composer, and Beth as a cellist.

The duo creates music in a variety of moods, mainly in classical, ambient, and electronica, and this track is a beautifully ambient work that perfectly matches the fresh impression of the commercial’s visuals.

The cello’s tone gently embraces the soft sounds of acoustic guitar and synthesizer.

It’s a song that soothes the heart just by listening.
