“Kuchibiru yo, Atsuku Kimi o Katare” is a song by Machiko Watanabe released in 1980.
It was used in a Kanebo commercial at the time of its release and was brought back again starting in 2020.
In the 2026 spot titled “Living is always a work in progress,” Shiho Ochi of Superfly appears.
The first half features a brass arrangement of “Kuchibiru yo, Atsuku Kimi o Katare” as the BGM, and in the second half you can hear Ochi’s singing.
It’s only a single phrase, but her voice conveys not just strength, but also gentleness and warmth.

It’s a lovely expression that makes you feel as if the distance between you and your favorite performer has suddenly grown much smaller.
The background music is an instrumental brass arrangement of UA’s “Ai ni Ikou” (Let’s Go Meet).

It’s a piece that vividly evokes the determination to keep working hard without forgetting one’s original intent.
