Songs and production drawing attention! A roundup of Pocari Sweat commercial tracks (71–80)
The Life Is Simple And BeautifulLIKKLE MAI
The Pocari commercial featuring Beat Takeshi uses the song “The Life Is Simple And Beautiful” by reggae singer LIKKLE MAI.
LIKKLE MAI’s stylish, pop-tinged music is a perfect match for the colorful Indonesian scenes shown in the ad.
It makes you feel like you want to take the song with you and travel to Indonesia.
It’s full of a lively, feel-good vibe that makes your body want to dance.
I can’t say goodbye.Yoshida Yō, Suzuki Rio
This commercial features Yo Yoshida and Rio Suzuki, the two now familiar faces from the Pocari Sweat ads.
In each of their commercials they sing various songs, and in the “Winter Is Tough” version, they perform Kenji Ozawa’s 1995 track ‘I Can’t Say Goodbye.’ When it was first released, the song was also used in a candy commercial that Ozawa himself appeared in.
The lyrics express a frustrating feeling: knowing you have to say farewell to happy days, yet being unable to shake a lingering sense of loneliness.
The charming harmonies of Yo Yoshida and Rio Suzuki seem to gently wrap that loneliness in warmth.
Surf Paradise, Ski ParadiseYoshida Yō, Suzuki Rio
In the “Ski Slope March” version, Yoshida Yō and Suzuki Rio sing and dance as kindergarten children march along.
The song performed by the characters in the commercial is ‘Surf Paradise, Ski Paradise,’ written by singer-songwriter Matsutoya Yumi.
It depicts a wintertime romance between adults, expressing feelings of love for someone special.
With gently unfolding synth tones, her supple vocals resonate throughout the track.
It’s a CM song that perfectly matches winter scenes—moving your body or taking a sip of Pocari after finishing a song.
Songs and staging in the spotlight! A roundup of Pocari Sweat commercial songs (81–90)
I’m smitten with you.Yoshida Yō, Suzuki Rio
The Pocari Sweat commercial featuring Yoh Yoshida and Rio Suzuki doing the Awa Odori is particularly memorable.
The song they sang at that time was YMO’s “Kimi ni, Mune Kyun.” And the person who handled the arrangement and production for their cover was none other than YMO member Yukihiro Takahashi! It’s said that during the vocal recording, the two even received direct coaching from Takahashi.
With a pop, feminine arrangement, it overflows with cuteness—perfectly matching the playful dancing the two do in the commercial.
Original songAqualung
The song that played in the Pocari Sweat “Ion Water” commercial, the “Appearance” version featuring Kyoko Fukada, is an original track by Aqualung, the stage name of British singer-songwriter Matt Hales.
The gentle acoustic guitar tones combined with Aqualung’s delicate falsetto create a dreamy, floating feeling.
The word “ion” evokes a soothing effect, and this calm number seems like it could softly ease away the fatigue of a long day.
We will keep on living ♡DREAMS COME TRUE
This song is a collaboration by DREAMS COME TRUE as part of the 30th anniversary of Pocari Sweat, and it was written specifically for this commercial.
That year, they collaborated with Pocari under the name “Dori × Pocari” and held a special live performance.
Walk with DreamsDragon Ash
Dragon Ash’s “Walk with Dreams” was used in the Pocari Sweat commercial featuring soccer player Yuto Nagatomo.
After its digital release in July 2012, it was re-released two months later as a double A-side single together with “Run to the Sun.” This song became the last track to feature bassist IKUZONE, who passed away that spring.
It’s a passionate, quintessentially Dragon Ash pep song, imbued with the message: keep walking through your short time in life while holding onto your dreams.
It reminds us that when you do something, you’ll face all sorts of opinions and even the worst setbacks, but it’s better to act and grow than to do nothing at all.
