It’s very striking how the ad shows Kentaro Sakaguchi enjoying a Greens Free after getting out of the bath, and Miho Kanno drinking it deliciously after putting in some hard work! Up to now, scenes like these usually feature beer with alcohol, but this ad emphasizes that with Greens Free, you can be completely satisfied thanks to its authentic flavor even though it’s non-alcoholic.
The background music uses Billy Joel’s classic “Uptown Girl,” a familiar song with a refreshingly catchy melody.

The rankings include insights unique to master brewers, and together with the pair’s reactions, you can really feel the astonishing level of craftsmanship.
The bright, upbeat sound of “Little Green Bag” vividly evokes Hon-Kirin’s elegant, celebratory flavor.
Les Champs-ÉlyséesJoe Dassin
This commercial for Kirin Ichiban features Ryohei Suzuki and Kento Kaku playing senior and junior colleagues.
On the train ride back from a business trip, while Suzuki is hard at work on his laptop, Kaku spots a beautiful sunset and invites him to make a toast.

The BGM is “Les Champs-Élysées,” which has been used in Ichiban commercials for a while now.
A brass-arranged version plays here, and its bright, festive sound is quite striking.

The BGM is Yumi Matsutoya’s signature song “Yasashisa ni Tsutsumareta Nara.” Although it was released in 1974, it remains a timeless classic beloved across generations.
