Heartwarming nostalgic commercial songs: a special collection of classic hits that bring back those days (71–80)
foreignerKUBOTA Saki
This song is distinguished by a mystical sound that evokes the Silk Road.
It was featured in a Sanyo Electric TV commercial, which helped it become a major hit.
It reached number one on the Oricon chart in December 1979, and record sales surpassed one million copies.
The music makes you feel as if you’re traveling in a foreign land, depicting the process of overcoming the pain of heartbreak and loneliness.
Combined with Saki Kubota’s clear, translucent vocals, it’s a masterpiece that deeply resonates with listeners.
Highly recommended for travel lovers and for those who want to connect with heartfelt lyrics.
How do you feel now?Amuro Namie
This was the B-side to “PLEASE SMILE AGAIN,” released in 2000 when Namie Amuro was entering her mature phase as an artist.
It was used in a commercial for Tu-Ka Phone Kansai.
Amuro is stylish, but the shape of those Tu-Ka handsets now feels totally nostalgic!
Cut me some slack!Koizumi Kyoko
In 1990, it was the image song for Ajinomoto’s “Knorr Cup Soup.” Following the previous year’s release of “Gakuen Tengoku” (a cover of Finger 5), it’s a fun track that conveys Kyoko Koizumi’s bright, funky vibe.
Dancing behind Koizumi are FLYING KIDS, a band that came from the TV show “Ika-ten.”
God of RomanceHirose Kōmi
Released in December 1993.
It became a massive hit into 1994 after being used as the commercial song for the ski equipment store Alpen.
Since this song, Kahimi Hirose came to be called the ‘Queen of Winter,’ but did you notice that there isn’t a single winter-like word in the lyrics of this song?
Wonderful HolidayTakeuchi Mariya
This is the familiar Kentucky “Fried Chicken” Christmas season commercial song that has been used since 2000.
Even though we hear it every year, its warm melody and gentle lyrics feel somehow nostalgic and soothing, making it a uniquely comforting piece.
Winter’s Tale ~A Winter Story~Takano Hiroshi & Tajima Takao
In 1992, it was used as the theme song for Sapporo Beer’s “Sapporo Fuyu Monogatari” commercial.
It’s a winter song where lively brass and a refreshing sound perfectly match the clear, soaring vocals.
Even in the commercial, the expressions while drinking beer were refreshing.
Sexual Violet No. 1Kuwana Masahiro
Masahiro Kuwana’s “Sexual Violet No.
1” was released in 1979 and is one of his signature songs.
The lyrics have a sexy vibe, seemingly singing about a man–woman relationship, and combined with the guitar-driven, powerful sound, they convey a unique, forceful image.
One reason the song became a hit was its use in a Kanebo commercial, which is said to have boosted Kuwana’s popularity.
The structure, with the title repeated in the chorus, leaves the song name firmly imprinted in your mind.
