[History] Summary of Popular Nescafé Commercials and CM Songs (21–30)
La La,SmileHigashitani Kazuyo
It’s a commercial jingle played solely on the piano.
The slightly wistful melody matches everyday moments beautifully.
It’s a lovely piece that highlights scenes of gratitude for ordinary life and happiness—making you feel like savoring the aroma of coffee along with it.
Love’s ThemeLove Unlimited Orchestra
A collaboration commercial between the music program “LIVE MONSTER,” hosted by DREAMS COME TRUE’s bassist Masato Nakamura, and Nescafé.
In the Nescafé regular soluble coffee commercial, for which Nakamura himself also served as the ad character, the song “Love’s Theme” by the Love Unlimited Orchestra was used.
This 40-piece orchestra was formed by American singer-songwriter Barry White, and their biggest hit was this very track featured in the commercial.
The melody—beautiful and refreshingly crisp—perfectly matches the sophisticated vibe of enjoying an adult coffee break with Nescafé.

The Begin of Twilightchiaki naomi
The song used in the 1999 commercial for Nescafé’s top-tier instant coffee, Nescafé President, was Naomi Chiaki’s “Tasogare no Begin.” It’s a calm, soothing track that perfectly suits a relaxing coffee break.
Originally released in 1959 as a song by Hiroshi Mizuhara, it was later covered by numerous artists—including Naomi Chiaki, Sayuri Ishikawa, Masashi Sada, and Akina Nakamori—and has since become a standard number.
Once Again It’s SummertimeMaxi Priest
This song, which perfectly matches Nescafé’s stylish image, is “Once Again It’s Summertime” by reggae lovers rock singer Maxi Priest.
It’s based on “Aura Lee,” a song widely sung in the United States and well known in Japan, so the melody is essentially that of “Aura Lee.” By the way, Maxi Priest also took part in Yuji Oda’s “Love Somebody,” the theme song of the Bayside Shakedown (Odoru Daisōsasen) series, contributing both the rap lyrics and vocals.
With the gentle melody of “Aura Lee” transformed into a chic, light reggae style, it offers a whole new way to enjoy “Aura Lee.”
Morning, You, and MeKitagawa Kozue
I think many people who like coffee drink it every morning.
This song has an impressive, gentle tone that evokes a relaxing coffee break during a busy morning.
It’s a perfect match for a commercial video with a warm, happy atmosphere.
Heart of glassU
Heart of Glass, released in 2011 under the artist name U by Yu Shirota, who is also an actor, was used in a Nescafé Excella commercial.
Although it’s a cool love song, it has a refreshing feel that makes you want to listen to it over and over.
With its pleasant tempo, it’s a catchy track that’s perfect for a commercial song.
MADE OF GOLDDREAMS COME TRUE
DREAMS COME TRUE’s “MADE OF GOLD,” which played in the Nescafé Gold Blend “MADE OF GOLD” commercial, really stands out with Miwa Yoshida’s soaring vocals and the memorable phrases used in the ad.
It was a double A-side track paired with the 2013 single “Saa Kane o Narase.” Some listeners might actually be hearing the full version for the first time.
Set to a comfortable, adult-tinged mood with a pleasing bassline, it weaves together aching longing and powerful resolve.
It makes you want to recharge with your favorite cup.
