Midsummer FruitSazan Ōrusutāzu
Southern All Stars’ “Manatsu no Kajitsu” (Midsummer Fruit) is a song released in 1990 as the theme for the film Inamura Jane.
Its gentle acoustic sound is striking, and the lyrics portray poignant summer scenes.
Among Southern All Stars’ many hits, it could be considered a signature ballad.
As for commercial use, it was featured in a Recruit TV ad for Weekly B-ing starring Keisuke Kuwata; the contrast between the sorrowful song playing and Kuwata’s rapid speech in the commercial left a memorable impression.
Beautiful daysFuruchi Toko
This commercial, which aired in 2010, opens with a scene of Kaho talking about her struggle with damage at the ends of her hair.
Her tips were so damaged she was considering “maybe I’ll just have to cut it,” but the ad shows how just 14 days of care with Pantene’s intensive treatment program brought her beautiful hair back.
The commercial concisely conveys the product’s appeal and features Toko Furuuchi’s song “Beautiful days.” For many people, this is the song that comes to mind when they think of Pantene commercials.
Released in 2005, the song carries a hopeful message that tomorrow will be an even better day than today.
It’s sure to lift your spirits, so be sure to listen while reading the lyrics.
Life is full of ups and downs.Shimakura Chiyoko
Among the Gatsby commercials that aired during the Heisei era, many people probably remember the ones featuring Masahiro Motoki.
This particular spot made an especially strong impact and is often cited as a classic.
Motoki appears with a flamboyant mohawk worthy of a ’90s visual-kei band, and the gimmick where his mohawk flutters open and closed in time with Chiyoko Shimakura’s “Jinsei Iroiro” still feels remarkably fresh even today.

When you hear this song, do you find yourself thinking, “Oh! The Coca-Cola commercial!”? This track was written as a campaign song for Coca-Cola with the tagline “Coca-Cola for the moments we connect,” and it’s BENNIE K’s ninth single, released in 2005.
The song, which became a hot topic thanks to the commercial and was later released on CD, blends English and Japanese, has a great upbeat, cheerful tempo, and really gets your energy up.
I can see you againKetsumeishi
This is a Shiseido Anessa sunscreen commercial that aired in 2007.
It shows five women in swimsuits running along the beach, but if you look closely, all of them are Yuri Ebihara! The memorable twist is that Ebihara appears to have duplicated herself.
The background music was by RIP SLYME, who were at the height of their popularity at the time.
The song, titled “Mata Kimi ni Aeru” (I’ll See You Again), was written specifically for this commercial.
telepathyORANGE RANGE
In the au commercial for Chaku-Uta Full featuring Satoshi Tsumabuki, ORANGE RANGE’s “Ishin Denshin” was used.
The commercial aired around 2005, and the song was included on the 2004 album “musiQ.” At the time, services that let you listen to music on your cell phone felt new, and many people probably remember the au ads that used ORANGE RANGE’s music in particular.
The lyrics, which sing about being connected even when apart, evoke a sense of closeness with someone important.

Fourteen years later, in 2022, Aoyama Thelma was once again featured in a Docomo commercial celebrating the company’s 30th anniversary, which also drew attention.
