It was featured in Kirin’s “Kirin Bin Nama” commercial, and remains popular today as a song that makes you want to drink beer in the summer.
Les Champs-Élysées
After sending a message to commend those who worked hard despite the heat, the crisp “pssh!” of a beer being opened and enjoyed leaves a strong impression.
Watching Hikari Mitsushima drink deliciously with the ocean in the background probably made many people think, “I want one too!” The familiar ‘Les Champs-Élysées’ is used as the BGM.
The original has lyrics, but the commercial features an instrumental version with only brass instruments.
BOY MEETS GIRLTRF
This is a Kirin Ichiban commercial featuring Hikari Mitsushima, whose cheerful singing leaves a strong impression.
Mitsushima dances light steps to the rhythm of the song, and her buoyant mood feels contagious even through the screen.
By the way, the tune she’s humming is TRF’s signature 1994 hit “BOY MEETS GIRL.” Set to the era-defining TK sound, it portrays a love story that makes the heart flutter.
B-Side BluesOfisharu Higedan Dism
This commercial portrays summer moments featuring Ayami Nakajo and Ren Meguro, while also highlighting Afternoon Tea.
The footage shows each of them outdoors in the heat, and by introducing Afternoon Tea into those scenes, it effectively conveys its refreshing taste.
Playing in the background is Official HIGE DANDism’s “B-Side Blues,” whose laid-back sound and vocals strongly emphasize a relaxed summer vibe.
