Memorable Commercials [July 2025] (21–30)
For me to be myselfKiritani Kenta
This commercial is a message of encouragement from U-Can for people trying to take on something new.
Kenta Kiritani says, “If it’s something you’re good at, you’ll surely be able to keep at it,” inspiring viewers to try challenging themselves with what they love or what they’re good at.
In the background of the CM, Kiritani sings “Boku ga Boku de Aru Tame ni” (“For Me to Be Myself”).
Released in 1983 on the album Seventeen’s Map, it’s one of Yutaka Ozaki’s signature songs.
Its lyrics, which sing about continuing forward while facing oneself, have moved many people over the years.
Cold NightHANA
It shows someone using Spotify to share their favorite song with a friend.
It highlights how easy it is to share from the Spotify screen, and that the recipient can listen to the song even with a free account.
However, this exchange takes place during a university class, leading to a humorous twist where, after saying “Make sure you listen to it!”, another friend chimes in with, “Hey, let’s pay attention to the lecture now.”
Don’t cheat on me.Koresawa
A Nissin Honmen commercial featuring singer-songwriter Koresawa, who handled the music.
The mascot characters, Reko-chan and Inu-kun, appear and show off a dance, with Reko-chan urging Inu-kun to try Nissin Honmen.
Through the cute, catchy animation, the deliciousness of Nissin Honmen really comes across.
The background music is a parody of Koresawa’s “Uwaki Shitara Akan de.” Like the original, the Kansai-dialect lyrics are striking and leave a strong impression.
An endlessly continuing storyNEW!MISIA
MISIA’s “A Never-Ending Story” was released in 2002 and was also used as the theme song for Mitsubishi Electric’s “Keeping Society Moving” commercial.
It’s a ballad that unfolds with a quiet, piano-centered atmosphere, gradually gaining strength toward the end and conveying a powerful sense of hope.
The lyrics give the impression of moving forward into the future, and combined with her resounding vocals, they evoke the strength to take a step ahead.
The commercial depicts Mitsubishi Electric’s initiatives and conveys the company’s commitment to supporting society for a better future.
Sweet, indulgent scrutinyNEW!nakigoto
This is a Pocky commercial featuring Ayana Shiramoto reading a book about the deliciousness of Pocky at an overseas library.
The song with the memorable acoustic sound used as the CM’s BGM is “Amaama Ginmi” by Nakigoto.
In the commercial, it’s arranged as an instrumental, giving it a completely different vibe from the original.
Unlike the CM version, the original track is full of energy, so be sure to give it a listen as well.
Dream FlowerNEW!En Hiroshi
In a commercial titled “Live” that riffs on the product name “Koime no Lemon Sour,” the phrase “koime koime” is sung repeatedly.
Tsuyoshi Muro appears as the band’s vocalist, and his comfortable, enthusiastic singing leaves a strong impression.
The song he performs here is a parody of Hiroshi En’s signature track Yumesouka.
The original Yumesouka was released in 1978, and its chorus—also used in this commercial—is famously well known.
UnfurledNEW!Ikeda Tomoko
The song Unfold, sung by Tomoko Ikeda, was featured in the announcement commercial for the smartphone app Fate/Grand Order: Chaldean Floralia — When Your Flowers Bloom.
Ikeda is known as the vocalist of the rock band Shiggy Jr.! The lyrics, woven with her clear, transparent voice, depict a scene that begins in winter and moves toward spring as flowers bloom.
It’s a track that brings the game’s story to mind and is truly moving.
