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?

In this article, we’ll introduce a whole selection of Kirin commercial tracks that many viewers have been curious about.

Enjoy!

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.

The exchange between Motoki Omori and Meguro near the end of the commercial is really lovely.

The song playing in the CM is “Watashi,” a track from the 2016 album TWELVE.

It’s a beautiful love song that gives you courage, depicting a protagonist who looks back on a past romance yet keeps moving forward.
