ETERNAL LANDSCAPESkoop On Somebody＋Oda Tetsurou
This commercial really showcases the active image of the DELICA D:5.
It highlights its ability to power through off-road terrain and puddles with ease, and features scenes of outings for outdoor activities and active sports.
The refreshing track “ETERNAL LANDSCAPE” is used as the BGM.
This song is a 2008 collaboration between Skoop On Somebody and Tetsuro Oda, with memorable lyrics that sing of an adventurous spirit—wanting to go anywhere together with someone special.
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.
Ti AmoEXILE
EXILE is a dance and vocal group that thrills fans with unparalleled, breathtaking live performances and soulful vocals.
The title track “Ti Amo,” included on their 28th single “The Birthday 〜Ti Amo〜,” was featured in a commercial for Meiji’s Meltykiss.
Its lyrics portray a forbidden love, and even those who haven’t experienced such a situation may feel a heart-wrenching sense of longing.
With sweet vocals that evoke the melting texture of chocolate, it’s a double-million-selling number that leaves a lasting impression.
A café in a student districtGARO
GARO’s “Gakuseigai no Kissaten” (“The Coffee Shop in the Student District”) is a highly popular song included on their 1972 album GARO2, and it was also released as a single.
Although it initially appeared as the B-side when the single came out, it caught fire after radio promotion and went on to be considered GARO’s biggest hit.
The song’s content evokes a coffee shop in a student neighborhood, and its sound and melody—tinged with a certain darkness—are striking.
When the song is used in commercials, the focus often falls on the ‘student’ aspect; the lyrics are also referenced to effectively convey a strong sense of nostalgia.

CHE.R.RYYUI
YUI’s fresh spring and love song.
As the catchphrase “Sending you a spring song as sweet and tart as fresh fruit” suggests, every part of the track evokes bittersweet memories of youthful days.
The lyrics simply describe the ordinary act of texting someone you like, yet it somehow becomes a wonderfully touching love song.
It was also featured as the CM song for au by KDDI’s “LISMO.”
Sinbad on the Shorepinku redii
Pink Lady’s “Nagisa no Sindbad” was released in 1977 and is known as one of their signature songs.
It topped Oricon’s year-end chart for 1977, and its frequent single reissues and tie-ins also attest to its popularity.
With a summer-themed feel, the song sets the life of a confident woman to a lively sound.
As a commercial jingle, it’s often paired with bright, cheerful visuals, and the song’s energy helps the overall impression feel positive.
Morning of PartingPedoro & Kapurishasu
Pedro & Capricious’s “Wakare no Asa” (Morning of Parting) was released in 1971 and is known as one of the group’s signature songs.
The original is “Was Ich Dir Sagen Will” by Austrian singer Udo Jürgens, to which Rei Nakanishi added Japanese lyrics for this version.
The sound leans strongly toward kayōkyoku, giving it a different vibe from the original, and over this powerful arrangement the sorrow of parting is sung.
Because the song conveys a kind of strength that tries to shake off loneliness, when it’s used in commercials it tends to create an impression of emphasizing the power to move forward.
