Heartwarming nostalgic commercial songs. A special collection of classic hits that bring back those days (51–60)
Spicks and SpecksBee Gees
In Mizuho Financial Group’s commercial, they present their philosophy of thinking about each person’s future and happiness through money.
The ad shows many everyday people speaking to the camera, and their expressions—ranging from serious looks to bright smiles—are all truly wonderful.
The background music is the Bee Gees’ “Spicks and Specks,” a song released in 1966, notable for its lyrics that look back on the past with a sense of nostalgia.
Its gentle, soothing tone that calms the listener is also part of the song’s charm.
Ngoma PartyWatanabe Sadao
This is a commercial where a construction worker, who happens to spot Sadao Watanabe riding a Yamaha Towny, can’t help but feel envious.
The way he observes every little detail with envy, and the confident way Watanabe responds, clearly conveys that this is a bike everyone admires.
The music used is Sadao Watanabe’s “Ngoma Party.” Its light, wind-instrument-infused sound is striking, and it perfectly evokes a refreshing, summery atmosphere.
With its structure that lets various instruments take turns in solo spots, the track exudes a joyful vibe.
Arrivée des camionneursMichel Legrand
This commercial, which aired in 2001 and shows a lively drive as it suddenly warps from the city into the great outdoors, is for the Lancer Cedia Wagon Turbo.
The vivid yellow Lancer racing through rocky mountains really leaves an impression, doesn’t it? By the way, many people have probably heard the song playing in the background of this commercial but don’t know its title.
The piece is Arrivée des camionneurs, composed by Michel Legrand for the film The Young Girls of Rochefort.
It’s also known in Japanese as “Kyaraban no Tōchaku” (Arrival of the Caravan).
Its passionately evocative melodic line stands out, and once you hear it, its catchiness really sticks with you.
Bittersweet Samba
This features Hana Kuroki, who gets a flat tire and struggles on her way home, and Yuya Yagira, who rides a bus home feeling tired after work.
When both arrive, they find Kinmugi waiting for them, and the scenes show them savoring Autumn Kinmugi while enjoying the flavors of the season.
The commercial uses “Bittersweet Samba” by trumpeter Herb Alpert.
The bright tones of the trumpet and drums double the sense of excitement for autumn’s delicious tastes.

FireworkKaty Perry
Actress Satomi Ishihara appears in the commercial introducing irumo, NTT Docomo’s new pricing plan, which appeals with the message of making smartphone fees—now a daily necessity—more accessible.
The background music is Katy Perry’s “Firework,” a standout hit of the 2010s whose exhilarating chorus is irresistibly uplifting.
Synchronised Love J Rap JamJoe Rinoie
This is a compilation of past commercials from the finance company Takefuji.
Takefuji’s ads used lots of catchy music, so whenever they were on TV, you couldn’t help but watch.
The dances were memorable too, so I bet many people remember seeing them when they aired.
The commercial at the beginning uses Joe Rinoie’s song “Synchronised Love J Rap Jam,” which was a hot topic at the time.
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.
