Blue SpringNEW!SUPER BEAVER
Erika Ikuta, who is thriving as an actress in dramas and films as well as a singer, performs live vocals in the Mitsuya Cider commercial.
In the previously released “Drink the Blue Sky” version, she sang over a band sound, but this time it’s a cappella! The video is crafted to let you fully savor Ikuta’s vocals.
And following the previous commercial, the song she performs is one of SUPER BEAVER’s signature tracks, “Aoi Haru” (Blue Spring).
The original features a driving performance layered with sentiments for the important people who have supported her.
My Favorite ThingsNEW!Uehara Hiromi
When it comes to the JR Central travel campaign “Yes, let’s go to Kyoto,” the CM song is, of course, “My Favorite Things” from the musical The Sound of Music, also known as a jazz standard.
Each commercial features a different version, and in the “Around Honganji” edition, a cover by jazz pianist Hiromi Uehara is used.
It begins with a flowing, mysterious atmosphere, then in the latter half unfolds into a crisp, buoyant, and delightfully catchy melody.
You can’t help but be captivated by the ever-changing melodic lines.

When it comes to Erika Ikuta, some of you might picture her showcasing her singing voice in commercials.
In this particular ad, she covers SUPER BEAVER’s Aoi Haru.
It’s arranged in a refreshing piano-rock style that perfectly matches the youthful imagery of the commercial and the crisp taste of Mitsuya Cider.
ninjin (from Rokudenashi)
This commercial follows the dedicated efforts of club captains, conveying both the inner conflict and passion that come with their positions, while showing how Calorie Mate supports their hard work.
It portrays the struggle of being a captain—where focusing solely on performance isn’t enough and a different kind of effort is required—as well as the bonds with teammates who offer support.
Elevating this youthful pursuit toward their goals is a song performed by Ninjin, also known as a member of Rokudenashi.
The powerful band sound combined with the soaring vocals vividly expresses a strong, forward-driving energy.

The BGM features “higher” by the technopop band LAUSBUB—a track whose combination of cute vocals and techno-laden beats is irresistibly catchy.
MONSTERNEW!ONE OR EIGHT
The narration “That determination shows on your face” is striking, and in sync with it, a woman with bold face paint appears—this is a commercial for the Professional University of Information and Management for Innovation (International Fashion Professional University).
It speaks of the goal of succeeding on the global stage, and with its music and visuals, it comes together as a very cool CM.
The BGM used is “MONSTER” by ONE OR EIGHT, a Japanese boy group active overseas.
Their powerful vocals and beats are captivating, making it a track that boosts your motivation as you listen.
