The song used in the commercial for the men’s shaver LAMDASH is Emrah Barut’s “Love Fades Away.” Its sophisticated trance sound grabs listeners’ hearts in an instant! It packs all the coolness of trance into one track—so much so that anyone who hears it will want to say, “That’s awesome.” There’s a calmer section in the middle, but even there you can feel a quiet intensity.

Motohiro Hata captivates listeners with delicate scene portrayals and his singing voice.

These days, you can hear his songs in all kinds of commercials.

“Ai,” released in 2010, was used as the CM song for the LUMIX G Series digital cameras.

It’s a collection of various ‘ai’—love—carefully and patiently woven.

The smoothly flowing, gentle words that slide right in are part of the charm, and his voice stands out even more in the stripped-down, singer-songwriter style, making it all the more moving.

You can feel a permeating power, as if a fleeting moment of love is expanding outward, creating a supreme love song that slowly seeps into the heart.

“Shiroi Christmas,” the third single by JUN SKY WALKER(S), was released in 1989.

The song was featured in a Panasonic CD radio-cassette recorder commercial at the time.

It’s also well known as a Christmas song, and if you’re from that generation, you probably heard it a lot back then.

While many Christmas songs are happy love songs for couples, this one is a bit sad—it evokes a sense of parting.

It’s a poignant track that tightens your chest with images of snow, cold, and heartbreak.

Panasonic’s commercial portrays the gentle act of capturing irreplaceable everyday moments with a camera.

It features scenes of shooting in a sunlit living room, small items in a general store, and a couple in kimono.

Flowing alongside these images is Kyo Kazato’s “I Decided to See You Off with a Smile.” Its soft, tender melody and calm vocals expand as if cradling someone’s precious memories.

The sentiment behind the song’s title overlaps with the theme of recording and seeing off the moments in the footage, deepening the emotional resonance.

By preserving the important moments found in everyday life with a camera, they become gifts for the future.

It’s a quietly resonant piece filled with that feeling.

Panasonic personal fax Ota*x (Otakkusu)

You can’t count on heroes of justice.SMAP

SMAP’s second single, “Justice Doesn’t Have Your Back,” released in 1991, was used as the commercial song for the personal fax machine Otax.

It pairs Megumi Ogura, who was heavily involved in SMAP’s early lyrics, with Koji Makaino, a composer indispensable to Johnny’s.

The powerful beat combined with SMAP’s mischievous, straightforward vocals makes it an incredibly fun track.

The call-and-response parts will make you want to shout along! That uniquely SMAP burst of catchiness is inspiring no matter the era.

Panasonic’s commercial opens with a striking image: someone holding a stereo as the earphones trailing from it glide smoothly through the air.

It symbolically portrays the ever-evolving ways we enjoy music.

The earphones seem to move with intent, dancing to the rhythm in space, expressing how sound stays close to us—free and weightless.

Coloring the spot is Wink’s classic hit “Lonely Tropical Fish.” The bittersweet yet pop sensibility of this quintessential 1980s track harmonizes beautifully with the stylish movements and aesthetic of the visuals.

The direction and music, evoking both nostalgia and freshness, remind us of the comfort of feeling connected to sound.

Panasonic CD Radio-Cassette with SPATIALIZER

DEARFukuyama Masaharu

Masaharu Fukuyama is highly popular across a wide audience not only as an actor but also as a singer.

The song “Dear” is included on his sixth album, “ON AND ON,” released in 1994, and it was used at the time in a commercial for Panasonic’s CD radio cassette player “SPATIALIZER.” From the lyrics, you might think it’s a song about a long-distance relationship, and for those who are actually in one, it’s likely a ballad that will really hit home.

Its simple lyrics gently sink in, making it a deeply affecting track.
