[Covers and parody versions are appealing too] Kirin’s commercial songs [2026] (21–30)
If I’m wrapped in kindnessMatsutōya Yumi
This commercial features Ryohei Suzuki highlighting the new-and-improved Namacha, gently explaining what aspects have gotten even better.
He talks about its easy-to-drink lightness and its satisfying richness, and the visuals—evoking a gentle breeze—convey a sense of relaxation.
Further enhancing the tender atmosphere depicted on screen is Yumi Matsutoya’s song “Yasashisa ni Tsutsumareta Nara.” The melody is both kind and buoyant, leaving a strong impression and evoking the simple joys found in everyday life.
turquoiseSEKAI NO OWARI
In this commercial where Mitsuki Takahata appears alongside the members of SEKAI NO OWARI, you can see them jamming on “Turquoise.” The performance kicks off with Takahata’s cue of “One, two, three!” and then Fukase and Takahata layer their vocals over the accompaniment.
It’s striking how everyone—both SEKAI NO OWARI and Takahata—looks like they’re having a great time.
In the latter half of the ad, they all raise cans of Hyoketsu for a toast, and Takahata’s straightforward line, “Ah—so good!” leaves a strong impression.
366 daysKamisiraishi Moka
The song used in the 60-second commercial for Afternoon Tea “I Want to See You, I Want to Warm You – Winter ’18 Edition” is “366 Days,” included on HY’s 2008 album HeartY.
This heartrending love ballad gradually gained support over time, and actress-singer Moka Kamishiraishi has covered it.
Thanks to Kamishiraishi’s gentle vocals, the cover conveys a warm atmosphere that feels different from the original.
Long-distance relationships can be painful, but the preciousness of being able to meet when you want to see each other—this cover makes those happy moments feel all the more cherished.
It’s nothing.RADWIMPS
Nandemonaiya, a song by the rock band RADWIMPS and the theme for the 2016 film Your Name, has a mysterious power to make you feel as if you’ve been drawn into the movie the moment vocalist Yojiro Noda begins to sing.
While the arrangement is grand and sweeping, the lyrics themselves are down-to-earth, with parts that many of us can relate to in our daily lives.
In the commercial for Tanrei Green Label, “GREEN JUKEBOX: Toki,” the song is performed as a stripped-down solo, allowing listeners to immerse themselves even more deeply in the world of the lyrics.
Before I knew it, you were there.Matsuura Aya
It was released in 2005 as Aya Matsuura’s 17th single.
The song was used in a Kirin Beverage “Gogo no Kocha” commercial featuring Matsuura herself, and was originally created specifically for the CM under the title “Kigatsukeba Itsumo ~Take me please~.” However, due to the strong response immediately after the commercial aired and the growing demand for a CD release, a full-length version was produced.
It reached No.
6 on the Oricon charts.
Twist And ShoutThe Beatles
This commercial conveys what kind of flavor Kirin Ichiban Shibori White has by layering impressions from various people in an easy-to-understand way.
It features Fuka Koshiba and Masaki Okada in their first beer commercial, and unfolds with letters arriving from their seniors in the CM world—Shinichi Tsutsumi, Ryohei Suzuki, and Kento Kaku.
Drawing on those comments as well, the ad depicts them savoring the beer.
The song that underscores the fun, people-connected atmosphere is The Beatles’ “Twist and Shout.” The way the track begins and then gradually builds in power is striking, heightening the sense of anticipation that something new is about to start.
on a bright nightback number
A lively song with a bouncy rhythm by the rock band back number, “Akarui Yoruni.” It’s a track with a light, pleasant groove that makes your steps feel lighter as you listen.
With vocalist Iyori Shimizu’s gentle singing layered on top, it becomes even more dramatic.
Play it in an open, freeing scene—like in a commercial—and it’ll lift your mood even more.
Perfect for drives, walks, and your commute to work or school!
