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.

Atarayo’s distinctive vocals, combined with lyrics that resonate deeply, stir listeners’ emotions.

As an anthem cheering on those pursuing their dreams, it’s a track that truly connects with many people.

It has also been selected as the support song for the commercials of the All-Japan High School and All-Japan Junior High School Cheerleading Championships, conveying a powerful sense of encouragement for young people taking on challenges.

I think it’s a perfect song for anyone who wants to try something new or is giving their all.

It’s the first single they released in 2000 after resuming activities.

The mischievous edge of the distorted guitar and YUKI’s translucent vocals wrap you in a fresh, liberating feeling.

It makes you want to dash straight into the sea! I love the vibe too—like catching a great wave—描く the present with someone you love and your precious friends.

Ah, youth.

The vibe that lets you stay forever innocent is so wonderful, and JUDY AND MARY’s music always makes me feel youthful no matter when I listen!

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!

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.
