The song chosen for the Pocari Sweat commercial supporting the Inter-High, titled “That Place Is Watching,” is “Mita Koto mo Nai Keshiki” (A Scenery I’ve Never Seen) performed by singer-songwriter Cena.

It’s a cover of Masaki Suda’s track, depicting a headlong charge into the future.

Cena’s vocals—imbued with a gentle warmth—layer over a powerful band sound, leaving a strong impression and conveying not just desperation, but each person’s dedicated approach to effort.

By overlapping the performance of a young singer-songwriter with the hard work of young athletes, the commercial emphasizes the image of youthful energy forging a path to the future.

Speaking of sports drinks at rock festivals, Pocari Sweat is often the one being sold, right? The CM song for Pocari, which has ties to the music scene, was handled by 10-FEET, who are in high demand at festivals across the country.

In this commercial, released as a web movie, a track plays behind narration by vocalist/guitarist TAKUMA, with footage from their one-man show at Inasayama.

TAKUMA’s message—delivered by someone who has overcome many hardships and continues to push countless fans forward—really leaves an impression! The song itself has a cool, mixture-style vibe and seems like it would get the crowd going at festivals, too!

Pocari Sweat 2021 New Commercial: “But I Saw You”

This is the song used in Pocari Sweat’s commercial “But Then I Saw You,” which drew attention for its striking footage of actress Sena Nakashima sprinting through the scene.

The CM itself gained popularity for its highly creative visuals, but in fact, the track used was also by an incredible unit.

The song is by A_o, a duo consisting of BiSH’s Aina The End and ROTH BART BARON.

I didn’t realize it at first, but once you know that, you can definitely hear it—it’s Aina’s voice! Her mature vocals over a simple acoustic guitar accompaniment reveal a slightly different charm from her usual style.

It’s a must-listen, both for Aina’s fans and for those who aren’t yet familiar with her.

The original song created for the Pocari Sweat commercial is “Sweat Flows for You.” The commercial features powerful dancing by students, and the music enhances it with a strong sense of youth.

The bold, straightforward lyrics channel everyday frustrations head-on, which is why the students’ authentic selves come through clearly in the song.

The way the voices gradually layer not only conveys the momentum to carve out the future, but also evokes the importance of the time spent with friends.
