The web movie for Pocari Sweat features “Hare wo Matsu,” produced by Vocaloid creator Orangestar.

The vocals are performed by Hatsune Miku and others who have been appointed as Pocari Sweat ambassadors.

In addition to Hatsune Miku, virtual YouTubers like Mirai Akari and Fuji Aoi also took part, sharing the appeal of Pocari Sweat.

Despite its refreshing melody that perfectly matches the Pocari vibe, the lyrics carry a touch of melancholy that really hits home.

It’s recommended for those who want a fresh, breezy feel while also savoring a slightly sentimental summer.

In a Pocari Sweat commercial featuring Yo Yoshida and Rio Suzuki as a mother-daughter duo, the two sing “Yasashii Ano Ko” by Spitz, which was the theme song for the NHK morning drama “Natsuzora” starring Suzu Hirose.

Their harmonies are soothing, conveying both freshness and warmth.

In the ad, the song is used alongside heartwarming scenes—like them singing while playing a small toy piano, and playing in the background as Yo Yoshida ties Rio-chan’s hair.

Although only a few dozen seconds aired in the commercial, a full version has also been released, so be sure to check out their complete performance!

This is a track by Yogee New Waves that was selected as the campaign song for POCARI SWEAT × FES 2018.

Precisely because it’s layered with the band’s music, the desire to cheer on people enjoying the festival is strongly emphasized.

The calm sound that evokes a leisurely summer moment is also striking, conjuring the message that taking breaks on hot days is important.

It’s a song that conveys refreshing fun while also reminding us of the importance of staying hydrated and taking rests.

A collaborative commercial series featuring Yō Yoshida and Rio Suzuki has been running since 2015.

Playing a mother and daughter, they share heartwarming interactions in each installment.

In this particular ad, the two sing “Kogarashi ni Dakarete,” written and composed by Toshihiko Takamizawa of THE ALFEE for Kyoko Koizumi.

They perform the song—about the heartbreak of unrequited love—while dancing together, and also sing it accompanied by Rio-chan on guitar.

The guitar parts are played by Rio-chan herself, as she had been taking lessons for some time.

The original song was written by Akiko Yano and performed by Agnes Chan, and later gained popularity when Akiko Yano did a self-cover.

This version—sung by Yo Yoshida and Rio Suzuki, who appeared in the commercial as the “Pocari mother and daughter,” with the creator Akiko Yano joining in a guest-like role—has a different charm of its own.

The lyrics convey feelings for a beloved person, but given the commercial’s content, this version also evokes the love between parent and child.
