[Covers and parody versions are appealing too] Kirin’s CM songs [2026] (1–10)
Twist & ShoutNEW!The Beatles

This is a commercial that confidently showcases the distinctive taste of Kirin Ichiban Shibori White Beer.
The catchphrase “Another delicious beer” is used to highlight that it offers a different kind of deliciousness from typical beers.
The background music features a cover of “Twist & Shout.” While the version performed by The Beatles in 1963 is well known, the original was by The Top Notes in 1961.
accent colorBialystocks

Against the backdrop of a refreshingly clear blue sky, Ryohei Suzuki and Natsuki Deguchi smile as they hum a tune, holding Namacha.
The crisp, pleasant visuals expressing the tagline “Living with comfort” leave a strong impression.
The BGM features Bialystocks’ “Sashi Iro,” a fresh track that suits the mood of the video perfectly.
L-O-V-ENat King Cole

This is a commercial that, through footage seemingly depicting Shohei Ohtani’s everyday life, conveys the importance of immunity and the benefits of Kirin’s Plasma Lactic Acid Bacteria that support it.
It shows interactions with children while shopping, and the exchanged smiles convey a sense of warmth.
The narration layered over these scenes also expresses the message that immunity is important for supporting one’s family and that we should live each day with vitality.
The song that accentuates the calm atmosphere of the visuals is Nat King Cole’s “L-O-V-E.” With its gentle feel highlighted by distinctive brass and rhythms, the track—lyrics included—expresses tender affection.
SummerNEW!Hisaishi Joe

This is a series of commercials introducing Kirin’s efforts to promote immune care.
In addition to products designed for immune care, they also carry out support activities such as performances for children and picture books focused on immune care.
The message that supporting health maintenance can also help people build happier everyday lives is wonderful.
The warm sentiment packed into these commercials is complemented by Joe Hisaishi’s piece “Summer” as the background music.
Its beautiful piano melody, tinged with a sense of nostalgia, is striking—and it’s surely a famous tune many people will recognize.
SeptemberEarth, Wind & Fire

This is a commercial introducing that Hon-Kirin won many awards at international contests.
At the beginning, Yosuke Eguchi pours Hon-Kirin into a glass and is shown drinking it deliciously.
Matching the footage, the narration, framed as a letter to Mr.
Eguchi, tells that it received as many as 11 awards at international contests.
It’s a commercial that clearly conveys that Hon-Kirin is a beer that’s excellent in both name and reality.
I want to become the wind.THE BOOM

This is a Harekaze commercial introducing that a portion of sales is donated to cherry blossom preservation activities.
A specialist explains that “cherry trees that have weakened due to aging and become diseased need to be cut down.” In response, it’s explained that Harekaze is supporting efforts to plant new cherry trees to make up for them.
It’s wonderful that you can not only enjoy beer but also take part in protecting cherry trees.
Cartoon HeroesAQUA

This memorable commercial for non-alcoholic Lager Zero was created in collaboration with the drama “Kodoku no Gourmet.” Goro Inogashira, played by Yutaka Matsushige, is characterized as someone who can’t drink alcohol.
In the ad, we see Goro visiting a restaurant that serves alcohol but also offers delicious food.
A message from the ad’s producer appears, addressed to Matsushige, who has long portrayed the teetotaler Goro Inogashira: “We should have reached out to you sooner.” It then shows Matsushige enjoying a Lager Zero.
The song that plays in the latter half of the commercial is “Cartoon Heroes” by the Danish group Aqua, notable for its poppy, catchy melody and bright, polished production.
