Heartwarming nostalgic commercial jingles: a special collection of timeless hits that take you back.

Dream FlowerEn Hiroshi

Dream Flower (Hiroshi En)

This is a song by Hiroshi Madoka that fills you with nostalgia.

Its melody brims with Showa-era charm, blending seamlessly with Madoka’s soothing vocals, and the catchy chorus—one almost everyone has heard at least once—leaves a strong impression.

Released in November 1978, it became widely known after being used in a Japan Airlines commercial.

It’s also a familiar tune on variety shows and has remained beloved by viewers.

The polyrhythmic development makes your heart dance, and it has a charm that makes you want to hum along every time you listen.

I hope you’ll rediscover this work and enjoy a nostalgic moment.

How do you feel now?Amuro Namie

Namie Amuro Docomo commercial “namie amuro × docomo”

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

Kyoko Koizumi’s “Please overlook it~.”

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

[Winter CM] Alpen Hirose Kohmi Song CM Best Album [1993-2016]

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?

Wansaka GirlHirota Mieko

Wansaka Girl ’64

This is an image song for an apparel company that showcases Miko Hirota’s radiant vocals.

The energetic singing blends with a pleasant rhythm, transporting listeners back to the atmosphere of the time.

Released in 1964, the song was so highly acclaimed that it even won an award abroad, and its influence continues to this day.

In October 2000, a CD titled “Renown ~ Wansaka Musume: Asei Kobayashi Commercial Songs” was released, which also included a monaural recording.

Its familiar melody offers both nostalgia and freshness, making it a work that resonates across eras through the power of music.

youthMorita Kōichi to Toppugyaran

Koichi Morita and Top Gallant’s “Seishun Jidai” (Youthful Days) was released in 1976 and gained popularity for its skillful portrayal of the feelings of youth.

The group also performed the song on the NHK New Year’s Eve music show Kōhaku Uta Gassen, and it continues to be remembered as one of their signature tracks.

The sound has the light touch of group sounds, and the overlap between this buoyant feel and the youthful lyrics vividly evokes a fulfilling youth.

The song was also used in a Sumitomo Trust commercial, which gives the impression of aligning with the idea of building toward the future.

My SummerMoritaka Chisato

Chisato Moritaka “My Summer” (PV)

Released in April 1993.

It became well-known that same year as All Nippon Airways’ “Okinawa campaign song.” Chisato Moritaka’s straightforward, clear vocals and wholesome image perfectly suit the beautiful, expansive beaches of Okinawa.

By the way, “Atsukaa~” is the dialect from Kumamoto Prefecture, where she grew up.
