This commercial conveys the refreshing taste of Tanrei Green Label through a unique world: a jukebox set in nature.
When Mikako Tabe discovers the jukebox and presses the “Snow” button, the gentle singing voice of Iyori Shimizu from back number begins to play.
Even the depiction of light emerging within the calm natural setting evokes a relaxed atmosphere.
The song performed in this gentle ambiance is back number’s “Heroine.” It’s a ballad that unfolds with a soft band sound, and the soaring vocals layered on top convey an uplifting, positive mood.

It’s a very simple commercial composed only of background music and the narration, “Living with comfort.” There are two versions—one featuring Ryohei Suzuki and the other featuring Natsuki Deguchi.
Both use simple visuals with white-based costumes and backgrounds, which make the scenes of drinking Namacha stand out.
The background music is the song “Sashi-iro” by Bialystocks.
Its gentle tone fits the calm atmosphere of the CM perfectly, leaving a memorable impression and making it a very pleasant song to listen to.
