NIVEA Kao NIVEA Body Marshmallow Care 'Fluffy Happiness' Version

MemoryMakihara Noriyuki

This is a commercial that promotes Nivea Body’s Marshmallow Care, known for its irresistibly fluffy foam, through the presence of Asuka Saito.

It depicts her spreading the foam over her entire body, and the relaxed expressions and overall atmosphere of the visuals effectively convey a sense of softness.

The song that further accentuates the softness expressed in the imagery is Noriyuki Makihara’s “Kioku” (Memory).

The layered, digital-tinged sound is striking and, on its own, can feel tense; however, when combined with his gentle vocals, it creates a uniquely floating sensation.

It’s a piece that seems to express a grand worldview—one of connecting past memories to the future.

Maybedoburokku

This commercial expresses, through a lighthearted song, how NIVEA’s mildly acidic foaming face wash addresses common skincare concerns.

It portrays the worries of Miwako Kakei and Maria Tani as they look at their reflections in the mirror, and conveys that NIVEA provides the solution.

The song, serving as both a confession of their concerns and a pathway to resolution, is a parody of Doburokku’s “Moshikashite Dakedo.” Centered on the breezy sound of an acoustic guitar that recalls the original track, the music unfolds into an airy arrangement.

Layered with lyrics that convey thoughtful ideas about facial cleansing, it creates a positive, uplifting mood.
