Chocolate is Meiji.TOSHI-LOW
This is the third installment of a project where various artists sing “Chocolate wa Meiji,” a commercial jingle that has long been loved for Meiji chocolate.
This time, the featured performer is TOSHI-LOW, the vocalist of the rock band BRAHMAN.
After sharing memories of chocolate from his childhood, he sings “Chocolate wa Meiji.” His warm, resonant voice is striking—it’s the kind that makes you want to keep listening.
It showcases a different charm from when he sings with the band.
Hello GoodbyeKinami
As the year draws to a close, parties like Christmas gatherings and year-end celebrations become more frequent.
This commercial aired to match that season.
Alongside cheerful footage of everyone toasting together, it highlights the appeal of ginger ale’s not-too-sweet taste.
As you can see from the visuals, its sparkling appearance also lifts your spirits.
The bright song used as the CM’s BGM is a cover of YUKI’s classic “Hello Goodbye” performed by Kinami.
With an arrangement that emphasizes the off-beat more than the original, it adds extra groove and fits perfectly with a party-themed commercial.
Imai Miki
This commercial portrays a day in the life of Yuriko Yoshitaka.
In a calm voice, she talks about getting up properly every morning, finishing work, coming home in the cold, and still doing the laundry—and how she wants to be praised for that.
The direction leaves a strong impression that it’s thanks to the scent of New Beads that she’s able to keep going.
The BGM is one of Miki Imai’s signature songs, “PIECE OF MY WISH.” Released in 1991, it reached No.
1 on the Oricon charts.
It’s a gentle yet powerful encouragement ballad about facing your weakened self, accepting it, and moving forward.
frozenRol3ert
This is the winter version of the classic commercial featuring Yuriko Yoshitaka and Hio Miyazawa as a couple.
Frolicking together in a vast snowy landscape, they look as if they don’t feel the cold at all.
Of course, that’s because they’re wearing GLOBAL WORK’s winter clothing, but it also makes you imagine they’re connected at heart—and the warmth reaches us viewers, too.
The CM’s background music is “frozen” by singer-songwriter Rol3ert.
It’s a warm winter song that reflects on a former lover, so be sure to read the lyrics and listen closely.

Stars are falling.Senchimirimentaru
Sentimental’s “Hoshi ga Furu” is set for release in 2025, a song that grandly sings of bittersweet emotions.
It develops from a quiet, piano-centered atmosphere into a sweeping orchestral arrangement, expressing the swell of feeling along the way.
The lyrics depict thoughts for a cherished person against a winter backdrop, conveying the aching emotion of continually wishing happiness for someone important who is far away.
The song has been selected for the commercial of Laguna Illumination, the Light and Water Carnival.
The ad overlays smiles with a fantastical, joyful space where the illuminations shine.
Symphony No. 9 “From the New World,” Fourth MovementAntonín Dvořák
This commercial highlights the sensation of improved blood circulation when applying Loxonin S warming patches, conveyed through Hiroshi Abe’s reactions.
The key point is the warming ingredient, which makes it feel distinctly different from ordinary plasters—something you can sense from his voice.
By also depicting which ingredients are used and how they work, the ad seems to heighten viewers’ expectations.
The music that adds a grand atmosphere to the visuals is the fourth movement of Symphony No.
9 “From the New World.” Its expansive sound is striking, and the tension evokes the anticipation that something new is about to begin.
A bouquet of flowers with loveSuperfly
This commercial portrays how study methods change with the times, while also conveying that Calorie Mate’s support for those who work hard remains constant.
Because the times are changing, offering encouragement can be challenging; even so, the parent and child—played by Jiro Sato and Manato Sakamoto—show how Calorie Mate supports their efforts.
Further highlighting the warm tone of the visuals is the piano arrangement of Superfly’s “Ai wo Komete Hanataba wo.” Its gentle rhythm and melody are memorable, evoking a heartfelt warmth that conveys love to someone important.
