The music and production are making waves! A roundup of Pocari Sweat CM songs (61–70)
SONS OF THE SUNAsanami 25
This is a single released in 2002 by the hybrid rock band Asanami 25.
Its sound, which feels somehow mysterious even under the blazing sun and a perpetual-summer vibe, along with its rhythmic flow, is seriously addictive.
It perfectly fits the image of a Pocari Sweat commercial song, and its samba- and reggae-like atmosphere will sweep you up.
If you like nobodyknows+’s “Kokoro Odoru,” you’ll probably love this too.
The upbeat lyrics are energizing, and it’s a summer tune that makes you feel wide-open and wonderfully liberated.
Original songKazumasa Hashimoto
Famous for the phrase “Being an adult is sooo loooong,” the Pocari commercial featuring Sakura Ando uses an original track made specifically for the ad.
The piece was composed by Kazumasa Hashimoto, who works as a composer, pianist, and music producer.
While the piano-only CM song may seem simple at first glance, it builds toward a dramatic development in sync with Sakura Ando’s lines in the latter half.
It’s a melody brimming with dreams, inviting listeners to imagine a variety of worlds from the sound of just a piano.
Song of the SkafinNakamura Kaho
This is a song Kaho Nakamura wrote specifically for the commercial and web video for Pocari Sweat’s returnable bottles.
The overlapping of a restlessly pulsating sound with a floating, unhurried vocal creates a mysterious world.
Since the commercial depicts future-focused initiatives using returnable bottles through a fantastical cutout-style animation, you can also sense that the song’s distinctive sonorities and atmosphere carry a near-futuristic image.
With its brisk pacing and unconventional structure, the track gradually draws you into its world.
Swaying feelingsZARD
ZARD’s “Yureru Omoi” (“Shakable/ Swaying Feelings”) was released in 1993 as their eighth single and is one of their signature songs, having become their second million seller.
The lyrics are by Izumi Sakai and the music by Tetsuro Oda.
With its powerful band sound layered with soaring vocals, it conveys a forward-looking attitude.
Another key point is that it’s a summer-themed track, giving an overall fresh and invigorating impression.
The song was also used in Otsuka Pharmaceutical’s Pocari Sweat commercial, further emphasizing its sense of refreshment and clarity.
Original songSCHANITA
The CM song for Pocari Sweat Ion Water featuring Kyoko Fukada as a mermaid is sung by Shanita, a singer active on the global stage.
Shanita is a highly skilled vocalist who has even joined major artists on their world tours.
In the commercial, she performs a cute, poppy song that perfectly matches the whimsical, fairy-tale world where a mermaid appears.
While the track itself is an original song made for the CM, her expressive performance leaves a strong impression in just a few dozen seconds, making you want to listen to more of Shanita’s music!
Home, Sweet Home (My Humble Cottage) (Arrangement)SHANTI, Ayumu Yahaba
In the Pocari Sweat commercial featuring Chisato Moritaka, a song arranged from the English folk tune “Home, Sweet Home” is used.
The vocals are performed by SHANTI, who is active mainly as a studio singer and lyricist, and Ayumu Yahaba, who primarily performs at jazz-oriented live venues.
Their gentle harmonies, carried by the warm tone of the piano, deliver exquisite comfort to the heart.
The piece has been used in many contexts—such as the film “The Burmese Harp” and the NHK morning dramas “Gegege no Nyobo” and “Massan”—so many of you have probably heard it before!
Original songHirano Wataru
In the Pocari commercial featuring Major Leaguer Yu Darvish, an original song created specifically for the ad is used.
The track was composed by Wataru Hirano, who has provided numerous songs for artists such as YUKI and Shiritsu Ebisu Chugaku, as well as for commercials and NHK E-tele programs.
A cool, Black music–inspired tune plays, perfectly matching Darvish’s fiery pitching on the Major League stage.
It’s the kind of track that wouldn’t feel out of place playing in the U.S.
itself—just listening to it conjures up images of America’s hot, expansive landscape.
