In Front of the Musical Instrument Shop

I loved you, loved you, I ended up falling so in love.Yoshida Yō, Suzuki Rio

Pocari Sweat - In Front of the Music Store (15s) Commercial, starring Yō Yoshida and Rio Suzuki, 2017.11

The song playing in the “In Front of the Music Shop” version was “I Loved You, Loved You, Loved You.” The original is a duet by Hiroshi Wada and the Mahina Stars & Miyoko Tashiro, who churned out hit songs through collaborations with female singers, and in the commercial it’s performed with new lyrics.

Yoshida Yō and Suzuki Rio singing while doing air-instrument performances are adorable.

The arrangement and the song’s gentle vibe are wonderful too—it makes you feel like you want to stay playful no matter how old you are, and it has a cozy warmth that seems to take the chill out of winter, which is just lovely.

Pocari Sweat Commercial | 'The Seagull and Pocari Dance' 15-second Version

This commercial brings to life an unusual collaboration: Pocari Sweat meets traditional ondō dance music.

When you think of Pocari Sweat commercials, most people picture something fresh and breezy, right? Maybe they’re associating ondō with the gentle events that wrap up a summer festival.

Whatever the reason, once you listen to the Pocari Ondō, it’s got real flavor and feels pretty great! It perfectly captures the vibe of “summer in Japan” and is full of originality!

Come, winter—just try me.

Yoshida Yō covers the classic “Country Road,” telling Rio Suzuki, “You’ve grown so much” — new Pocari Sweat commercial

Country Roads, featured in a Pocari Sweat commercial themed “Let’s protect our stronger selves this winter,” is a familiar song as the theme of the animated film Whisper of the Heart.

The track, originally released in 1971 by American singer John Denver, saw a gradual hit as a cover single by voice actress Youko Honna.

In this commercial, singer-songwriter Huwie Ishizaki—also known for providing songs to Masaki Suda—joins in on chorus, carried by the vocals of cast members Yô Yoshida and Rio Suzuki.

The result is a warmly powerful atmosphere that matches both the brave stance against winter and the innocent scenes portrayed.

The 4th Pocari Girl is this beautiful girl, Noemi Omura! The song is Kyuso Nekokami’s “Koete Ike” (Go Beyond) / Web Movie: “Tokyo Supply Girl 2019” (Full Version)

A Kansai-based band that passionately sings about familiar feelings everyone has felt at least once, Kyuso Nekokami released this single in 2018.

It was written as the opening theme for the anime Major 2nd, and was also used in the web movie “Tokyo Supply Girl 2019,” featuring Emi Omura, who was chosen as the fourth Pocari Girl.

The lyrics, which wholeheartedly empathize with the feeling of setback, really hit home; even though it’s not telling you to “hang in there,” you somehow feel a fiery heat that makes your inner spirit say, “I’m going to do this!” It’s a number that lets you burn with the image of going just a bit beyond yesterday.

In the 2016 Pocari Sweat commercial “Light Blue Car and Ukulele,” the song playing was “Summertime.” The original is a jazz standard composed by George Gershwin, who was active in both classical and popular music, but in the commercial it’s arranged to feel cute, refreshing, and summery.

The familiar, down-to-earth vocals of Yoh Yoshida and Rio Suzuki and the gentle sound of the ukulele are heartwarming.

Their harmonies are tender and incredibly soothing.

It’s a song that makes you feel like, “I’ve gotta drink some Pocari!” (lol)

The commercial’s image character is Rikako Yagi.

It’s a dreamy, fantastical CM that beautifully contrasts the gently drifting, floating feel of the track with a girl floating in water.
