[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!
