[Covers and parody versions are appealing too] Kirin’s commercial songs [2026] (21–30)
MapleKamisiraishi Moka
Moka Kamishiraishi’s song Kaede, released under the name adieu, was put out digitally after it was sung in a Kirin Afternoon Tea commercial.
It’s a cover of the song by Spitz, and compared to the original, it leans more toward an acoustic sound, giving it a softer tone.
While preserving the original’s atmosphere, she delivers it in her own expressive way, conveying a sense of love and respect for the piece.
The commercial portrays everyday scenes with Afternoon Tea, featuring warm imagery of her walking and singing with a bottle of Afternoon Tea in hand.
After the FestivalKuwata Keisuke
It was released in 1994 as Keisuke Kuwata’s fifth single.
In addition to being used as a commercial song for Kirin JIVE, in which Kuwata himself appeared, it also served as the theme song for the drama “Shizukanaru Don.” The lyrics adopt a perspective not often seen in his solo work—that of a timid, unambitious man—and the song received overwhelming support from men who could relate to it.

The more we get togetherBenny Sings
This is the song that played in the Afternoon Tea “The Meister’s Milk Tea: Kyoko Fukada ‘Betrayed’” commercial.
It’s a British folk song covered by Dutch pop singer Benny Sings, who frequently collaborates with Japanese artists and released “SING” with TENDRE in 2020.
Unlike the original’s upbeat and lively feel, this version has a gentle mood that suits a relaxing afternoon.
Give it a listen when you want to unwind with some stylish music.
Que sera, seraMrs. GREEN APPLE
It’s a charming commercial featuring the three members of Mrs.
GREEN APPLE appearing in miniature.
Many fans were probably captivated by the sight of the trio cheerfully cleaning a can of Tanrei Green Label together.
The background music is an acoustic version of one of their signature songs, “Que Sera Sera.” With a calmer arrangement than the original, it’s the kind of performance that makes you fall in love with their vocals.
south windRemioromen
This commercial, which begins with a scene of Anna Ishii getting caught in a sudden shower while gazing at the ocean and breaking into a run, is Kirin Hyoketsu’s “Attacked by a Sunshower” edition.
Ishii then takes shelter from the rain at a nearby shop, where she spots a beautiful rainbow after the rain lets up.
The image of her savoring a Hyoketsu while watching the rainbow stretching beyond the sea is particularly striking.
The background music, Remioromen’s “Minamikaze” (South Wind), is captivating for its exhilarating drive and refreshing feel.
A Little Love SongYamada Katsuya
The song used in the Kirin Beer commercial, which movingly portrays the story of a son aspiring to be a comedian and his father, is “Chiisana Koi no Uta,” the signature hit by the rock band MONGOL800.
In this ad, it’s presented as an instrumental version arranged by Katsuya Yamada, who handled the commercial’s music.
The beginning has a quiet, piano-only impression, but in the latter half brass sounds are added, adding flair to the touching story.
It’s a classic that continues to be loved no matter how many years have passed since its release!
BrazilToukyou Sukapara Daisu Ookesutora
This is a commercial where Kuranosuke Sasaki discovers Kirin’s Jōjō Shochu Soda and shares how it tastes to him.
It’s straightforward: he tries it because of those around him and is surprised by its crisp flavor.
The relaxed mood of the ad is further elevated by the song “Brazil” by Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra.
It’s included on their 2012 album Walkin’.
The arrangement—starting with light percussion and gradually layering in instruments—is striking, creating a fun track that steadily builds excitement.
