NIVEA Kao NIVEA Deo Protect & Care Spray 'Birth' Version

Original songHirose Kōmi

Minami Tanaka shows off her flawless fair skin with a ‘killer smile’; CM song by Kohmi Hirose — New commercials: NIVEA Deo Protect & Care Spray “Birth” and “Spray Birth” editions.
Original songHirose Kōmi

The song playing in the NIVEA Deo Protect & Care Spray commercial titled “Birth,” featuring Mina Tanaka, is an original track made for the ad.

Even though it’s an original, the singer is none other than Kōmi Hirose! It’s so dazzlingly delivered in her signature soaring voice that you’ll instinctively want to search which album it’s on.

Her powerful vocals rival the product’s impact, packing a charm that makes the few seconds in the CM feel too short—you’ll want to hear the full version.

The lyrics are tailored to the product, but it would feel perfectly natural if this were released as a Kōmi Hirose song as-is!

NIVEA Kao Face Wash “NIVEA is different — that’s not it” version

No, that’s not it.Suzuki Airi

Airi Suzuki, who was active as a member of ℃-ute, sings “Chigau, Sou Janai.” The original song, released in 1994, is one of Masayuki Suzuki’s signature tracks and is well known across generations.

However, the version sung by Airi Suzuki is performed as a parody in a Nivea facial cleanser commercial.

The lyrics humorously counter common misconceptions about Nivea—such as the idea that it’s only for use in winter.

Unlike the harder feel of the original, this rendition is sung in a cute, lighthearted style.
